Factors influencing the natural history of non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergies in paediatric age: a prospective multicentre cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed at identifying the factors influencing the natural history of non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergies (non-IgE-GIFA), a group of common paediatric conditions including food protein-induced: enteropathy (FPE), allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP), enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), and motility disorders (FPIMD).

Methods

Prospective multicentre cohort study involving paediatric patients (both sexes, aged ≤14 y) with non-IgE-GIFA diagnosed and followed for 24 months at a Tertiary Centre for Paediatric Allergy, Gastroenterology and Nutrition. Anamnestic and clinical data were collected from all enrolled patients.

Results

123 non-IgE-GIFA patients were enrolled (56% male, median age (IQR) 150 (60-300) days): FPE (39%), FPIES (17%), FPIAP (16%) and FPIM
