Background: Severe pediatric allergic asthma (SPAA) induces a huge economic burden in terms of direct, indirect, and intangible costs. The use of omalizumab for the treatment of these patients has produced a significant improvement in several clinical outcomes, but at the same time, the cost for the management of the disease has also increased. The aim of this report was to evaluate whether the use of omalizumab is cost-effective.

Material And Methods: A cohort of 648 consecutive infants born at term and alive at Hospital de Sagunto (Valencia, Spain) over one year period was followed for 12 months. Clinical data of the infants were prospectively collected from the database of ambulatory medical records (ABUCASIS) of the Valencia health system.
Background: Various studies have assessed omalizumab outcomes in the clinical practice setting but follow-up and/or number of patients included were limited. We aim to describe the long-term outcomes of pediatric patients with severe persistent allergic asthma receiving omalizumab in the largest real-life cohort reported to date.
Methods: ANCHORS was a multicenter, observational, retrospective cohort study conducted in 25 Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology units in Spain.
Introduction: Isotonic fluids, in most cases, are the safest way to dispense fluids intravenously. The aim of this study was to determine the prescription of maintenance intravenous fluids and to study possible associated factors.
Material And Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional, multi-centre study was performed.
Article Synopsis
- Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) help guide medical decisions, but haven't eliminated differences in how acute bronchiolitis is treated among physicians.
- A study compared patient data before and after introducing a multimodal approach to share diagnostic recommendations to physicians about bronchiolitis management.
- Results showed significant reductions in the use of diagnostic tests like chest X-rays and blood cultures, along with a shorter hospital stay, all without increasing re-admission rates.
