Abstract
Background: Total serum immunoglobulin E (TsIgE) has not been examined in children with food allergy.
Objective: Evaluate associations of TsIgE with patient, household, environmental and community-level characteristics among children with food allergy.
Method: Linear mixed effect models of data from 398 Black and/or African American (B/AA) and White and/or European American (W/EA) children with allergist-diagnosed food allergy from the multi-center, observational cohort FORWARD; TsIgE in kU/L was the primary outcome measure.
Results: In univariable analyses of data from all study sites, children's TsIgE was positively associated with older age (p < .001), B/AA race (p < .001), male sex (p = .014), lower household income (p = .005), lower caregiver education (p = .005), higher area deprivation index (p< .001), presence of allergic rhinitis (p < .001), asthma (p < .001), and eczema (p = .024), and a higher number of food allergies (p< .001), but not with tobacco smoke exposure. With covariable adjustment in multivariable analysis, total serum IgE was higher in older vs. younger children (p < .001), male vs. female children, B/AA vs. W/EA children (p < .001), and in children with allergic rhinitis (p = .010), asthma (p < .001), eczema (p = .007), or a higher number of food allergies (p < .001), but not with tobacco smoke exposure or area deprivation index.
Conclusions: In children with food allergy, age, sex, race, atopic diagnosis, allergic rhinitis, asthma and eczema are associated with TsIgE. These findings are important when TsIgE values are utilized in diagnosis and therapies.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
