Background: Adverse food reactions include food allergy (FA; immune-mediated) and food intolerances (non-immune-mediated). FA are classified into IgE- and non-IgE-mediated FA. There is limited information available about changes in FA prevalence over time.

Rationale: Knowledge about the clinical importance of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in severe asthma is limited.
Objectives: To assess whether and to what extent asthma exacerbations affect changes in PROMS over time and asthma-specific PROMs can predict exacerbations in adult patients with severe asthma in usual care.
Methods: Data of 421 patients with severe asthma (62% female; mean age 51.
Background: Elevated blood or tissue eosinophils are considered to characterize type 2 inflammation in children with asthma and are associated with increased exacerbation rates and worse asthma control. Dupilumab, a human monoclonal antibody that blocks type 2 inflammatory drivers IL-4 and IL-13, reduced severe exacerbation rates and improved lung function vs placebo in children aged 6-11 years with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma in the phase 3 LIBERTY ASTHMA VOYAGE study (NCT02948959).
Objective: This post hoc analysis assessed dupilumab efficacy and safety in children from VOYAGE with moderate-to-severe asthma and ≥500 and <1500 blood eosinophils/μL at baseline.
