2014, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Seven individual trials were identified that met these criteria, with multiple publications each. Trial characteristics are listed in Table 1.14–48 Outcome data for the primary prevention aim were reported at multiple time points for each trial.

2005, Journal of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :The compliance and efficacy of the intervention measures have been reported previously.6,8 The average house dust mite allergen (Der p 1 plus Der f 1) levels had been significantly reduced in the intervention group compared with the control group at 12 and 24 months after birth.6,8 Although the prevalence of pets did not change, there was less, but not statistically significantly less, cat allergen exposure in the intervention homes compared with the control homes (average Fel d 1, 1.68 vs 2.09 μg/g dust and 2.24 vs 2.5 μg/g dust during 12 and 24 months, respectively).7
