Effectiveness of polyvalent bacterial lysate for pediatric asthma control: a retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies showed bacterial lysates were effective for pediatric asthma. However, evidence of polyvalent bacterial lysate Qipian is lacking.

Methods

In this real-world retrospective cohort study, data of children with asthma, aged six months to 14 years old, attending to Jiangxi Provincial Children's Hospital from January 2021 to April 2022, prescribed routine treatment for asthma plus Qipian (Qipian group) or not (control group) were extracted. To minimize the impact of confounders on the outcomes, baseline characteristics were utilized to perform propensity score matching through a multivariable logistic regression model. After matching, asthma control, exacerbation, etc. were compared.

Results

Totally, 795 patients were included (337 in the Qipian
