Abstract

Background Component-resolved diagnosis might improve the prediction of future allergy in young children.Objective We sought to investigate the association between IgE reactivity to the pathogenesis-related class 10 (PR-10) protein family and allergic rhinitis to birch pollen (ARbp) from early childhood up to age 16 years.Method Questionnaire data and sera obtained at 4, 8, and 16 years of age from the Barn/Children Allergi/Allergy Milieu Stockholm Epidemiologic (BAMSE) study birth cohort were used. Sera from 764 children were analyzed for IgE reactivity to 9 PR-10 allergen proteins at the 3 time points by using an allergen chip based on ISAC technology. ARbp was defined as upper airway symptoms during birch pollen exposure.Results IgE reactivity to Bet v 1 was found in 12%, 17%, and 25% of children at 4, 8, and 16 years of age. IgE reactivity of PR-10 proteins showed a hierarchic intrarelationship: Bet v 1 > Mal d 1 > Cor a 1.04 > Ara h 8 > Pru p 1 > Aln g 1 > Api g 1 > Act d 8 > Gly m 4. There was an increased risk of incidence and persistence of ARbp up to age 16 years with increasing levels of Bet v 1-specific IgE or increasing numbers of IgE-reactive PR-10 proteins at 4 years. Children with severe ARbp at age 16 years had higher levels of Bet v 1-specific IgE at age 4 years compared with children with mild symptoms.Conclusion ARbp at age 16 years can be predicted by analysis of IgE reactivity to PR-10 proteins in early childhood.

  • In longitudinal studies, allergic rhinitis often first occurs in childhood and its prevalence increases with age.

    “In longitudinal studies, AR often occurs for the first time in childhood and increases in prevalence with increasing age.467-471”

    From International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Allergic Rhinitis (2018) · cites this paper as [470]

    The Results (‘IgE reactivity to PR-10 proteins in relation to symptoms’; page not provided) report that birch-pollen allergic rhinitis rose from 2.5% at age 4 to 10.6% at age 8 and 17.8% at age 16. The Methods (‘Definition of symptoms’; page not provided) also identify new cases at ages 8 and 16. The study supports childhood onset and increasing prevalence across those ages, but it examines birch-pollen rhinitis only and does not establish how often allergic rhinitis generally first occurs in childhood rather than adulthood. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Most children with allergic rhinitis symptoms early in life have persistent symptoms for several years.

    “Most children with symptoms of AR early in life have persistent symptoms for several years.469-471”

    From International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Allergic Rhinitis (2018) · cites this paper as [470]

    Table E4 (Extended Data) shows that 12 of 19 children with birch-pollen-related allergic rhinitis symptoms at age 4 also had symptoms at ages 8 and 16, supporting persistence in a majority over several years. The cited study examined birch-pollen-related rhinitis in one birth cohort, not allergic rhinitis generally, so the claim is broader than its evidence. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Measuring sensitization to individual allergen molecules in component resolved diagnosis may be more informative than standard tests using whole-allergen extracts.

    “Measuring sensitization to individual allergen molecules in a CRD may more be informative than standard tests using whole-allergen extracts.470,1014-1016”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
