ABSTRACT
Background:
The safety and efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) have been confirmed by many studies. However, in China, the research on efficacy and safety in young and older children with allergic rhinitis (AR) is still rare.Objective:
The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SLIT with Dermatophagoides farinae drops in pre-school and school-age children with AR.Methods:
A total of 282 subjects aged 2-13 years with AR received a two-year course of sublingual immunotherapy along with pharmacotherapy. According to the age, patients were defined as the pre-school group (2-6 years old, n = 116) and school-age group (7-13 years old, n = 166). Total nasal rhinitis symptom scores (TNSS), visual analogue score (VAS) and total medication scores (TMS) were evaluated at four time points baseline, after SLIT for half a year, one year and two years. The adverse events (AEs) were evaluated at each visit.Results:
After two-year SLIT, the four rhinitis symptom scores, TNSS, VAS and TMS scores were significantly lower than baseline (all P < 0.05). The comparison of efficacy between one and two-year duration showed no significant difference in global clinical outcomes (all P > 0.05). In addition, there were no significant differences between the pre-school and school-age group in TNSS (all P > 0.05), VAS (all P > 0.05) and TMS scores (P > 0.05) after SLIT for half a year, one year and two years. No severe systemic AEs were reported.Conclusion:
SLIT with D. farinae drops is clinically effective and safe in pre-school and school-age patients with house dust mites (HDMs)-induced AR (AU)RESUMEN
