Background: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the second-most frequent drug type to cause hypersensitivity reactions in children. Asthma is one of the risk factors for NSAID hypersensitivity (NSAID-H) in adult patients. There are limited number of studies evaluating NSAID-H among children with asthma. Our aim was to assess the frequency of confirmed NSAID-H and evaluate the classification of NSAID-H in children with asthma.
Methods: Patients followed with a diagnosis of asthma in our Pediatric Allergy Clinic were evaluated for NSAID-H. Patients were questioned whether they had used NSAIDs, and if they experienced any reaction with these drugs. A control group was also questioned for reactions to NSAID use.
Results: 976 children with asthma and 2,000 healthy children as a control group were included in this study. The mean age of the patients with asthma was 10.61 ± 4.21 years and 59.5% were male. Ten (1%) had a reaction history to NSAIDs. NSAID-H was confirmed in 9 (0.9%) who were tested with the suspected drugs. Six of these were classified as "single NSAID-induced urticaria/angioedema or anaphylaxis" and 3 were classified as "NSAIDs-exacerbated respiratory disease." In the control group, only 1 subject had a reaction history to acetylsalicylic acid and no reaction developed in the provocation test.
Conclusions: In our study, NSAID-H was found more frequent in children with asthma than in the control group. Children with asthma should be evaluated for reactions to NSAIDs during hospital visits.

Multiomics dissection of human RAG deficiency reveals distinctive patterns of immune dysregulation but a common inflammatory signature.

Human recombination-activating gene (RAG) deficiency can manifest with distinct clinical and immunological phenotypes. By applying a multiomics approach to a large group of -mutated patients, we aimed at characterizing the immunopathology associated with each phenotype. Although defective T and B cell development is common to all phenotypes, patients with hypomorphic variants can generate T and B cells with signatures of immune dysregulation and produce autoantibodies to a broad range of self-antigens, including type I interferons.

In this prospective cohort study with 2326 hospitalized children and young people with coronavirus disease 2019 in Spain and Colombia, 36.4% had comorbidities. Asthma, recurrent wheezing, chronic neurological, cardiac and pulmonary diseases significantly increased the risk of severe outcomes such as death, mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit admission.

Aim: We aimed to identify enablers and barriers of using primary care routine data for healthcare research, to formulate recommendations for improving efficiency in knowledge discovery.
Background: Data recorded routinely in primary care can be used for estimating the impact of interventions provided within routine care for all people who are clinically eligible. Despite official promotion of 'efficient trial designs', anecdotally researchers in the Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research (AUKCAR) have encountered multiple barriers to accessing and using routine data.

Background: Home spirometers have been widely implemented in the treatment of people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Frequent spirometry measurements at home could lead to earlier detection of exacerbations. However, previous research indicates that the long-term use of home spirometry is not well maintained by people with CF.
