Age Does Not Affect The Safety of Progressive Food Introduction in Food Allergic Children with High Reaction Thresholds

In such patients with high thresholds, the allergen can often be introduced progressively in the diet without the burden of classical OIT approaches. Since age has been suggested to negatively impact on the outcomes of OIT, we sought to compare its impact on this specific population. Methods Charts from all food allergic patients (defined by a positive challenge or >95%PPV on testing) with high reaction thresholds having undergone progressive food introduction after May 2012 were reviewed.
