ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
There are still gaps in the knowledge regarding the effectiveness of house dust mite (HDM) sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) on allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma (AA)-associated sleep disorders. A non-interventional study was conducted to assess the effect of the Standardized quality (SQ) HDM SLIT-tablet on safety and symptoms in adults with HDM respiratory allergies. The aim was to describe the status of insomnia and daytime sleepiness in AR and/or AA patients treated with the SQ HDM SLIT-tablet.METHODS:
This was a 12-month multicenter, longitudinal and prospective study. Participants started the SQ HDM SLIT-tablet for moderate-to-severe HDM AR, persistent despite the use of symptom-relieving medication; or HDM AA not well controlled by inhaled corticosteroids and associated with mild-to-severe HDM AR. Sleep symptoms were measured using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS).RESULTS:
A total of 1,526 adult patients were enrolled and 1,483 were included in the analysis. At baseline, 41.5% of patients reported sleep disorders 77.0% of them had insomnia and 28.9% suffered from excessive daytime sleepiness. Insomnia was significantly more frequent among patients with uncontrolled AR (83.1%) than those with controlled AR (52.6%) (p<0.0001). Over time, 48.3% and 59.7% of patients reported an improvement greater than the minimal clinically important difference on the ISI and ESS scales respectively.CONCLUSION:
In patients with HDM AR and/or asthma associated sleep disorders, an improvement in subjective insomnia and sleepiness was observed after one year of treatment with the SQ HDM SLIT-tablet in a real-life setting.
