Predictors of initial oral food challenge outcome in food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a paucity of data on predictors of clinical history in oral food challenge (OFC) outcome for the initial diagnosis of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES).

Objective

This study aimed to identify predictors for the diagnosis of FPIES.

Methods

The study included patients who underwent OFC to diagnose FPIES from 2010 to 2021. Patients with a positive OFC result were classified as belonging to the FPIES group, and those with negative OFC result within 120 days from the last symptomatic episode were classified as belonging to the no-allergy (NA) group. Background factors were analyzed in the groups.

Results

A total of 50 OFCs to 12 different foods were conducted in 50 patients. Of those 50 patients, 30 were classified as belonging
