Abstract
Background
Uncertainty exists regarding the health-related quality of life (HRQL) benefits of food allergen oral immunotherapy (OIT). Up-to-date meta-analyses incorporating HRQL data from recent randomised trials are lacking.
Methods
Systematic searches of MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL and Google Scholar were conducted for food OIT randomised trials (versus any comparator) that measured HRQL with a validated instrument (27 July 2023). Hedges' g standardised mean differences in HRQL between OIT and comparator were analysed by allergen, reporting perspective, and treatment/post-treatment periods, and synthesised using random-effects meta-analysis models when results from multiple trials were available.
Results
Ten trials (nine peanut, one baked milk; N = 1330) were included. No between-group differences were observed in parent-reported child HRQL (g = −0.07, 95% CI: −0.19 to 0.04, 9 trials, N = 1259), self-reported child HRQL (g = −0.23, 95% CI: −0.73 to 0.27, 5 trials, N = 435), or self-reported teenager HRQL (g = 0.00, 95% CI: −0.41 to 0.40, 3 trials, N = 209) during peanut OIT treatment. However, 12 months post-treatment, improved parent-reported child HRQL was observed (g = −0.51, 95% CI: −0.84 to −0.19, 3 comparisons from 2 trials, N = 213). No between-group differences were observed in the baked milk OIT trial in children (g = 0.118, 95% CI: −0.63 to 0.87, N = 26).
Conclusion
HRQL benefits were observed after OIT protocol completion, with limited evidence of benefit during active treatment.
期刊介绍:
Allergy is an international and multidisciplinary journal that aims to advance, impact, and communicate all aspects of the discipline of Allergy/Immunology. It publishes original articles, reviews, position papers, guidelines, editorials, news and commentaries, letters to the editors, and correspondences. The journal accepts articles based on their scientific merit and quality.
Allergy seeks to maintain contact between basic and clinical Allergy/Immunology and encourages contributions from contributors and readers from all countries. In addition to its publication, Allergy also provides abstracting and indexing information. Some of the databases that include Allergy abstracts are Abstracts on Hygiene & Communicable Disease, Academic Search Alumni Edition, AgBiotech News & Information, AGRICOLA Database, Biological Abstracts, PubMed Dietary Supplement Subset, and Global Health, among others.
