Oral Food Challenge and Food Allergy Quality of Life in Caregivers of Children with Food Allergy

Conclusion The caregiver QoL score is better with individuals with food allergy who underwent OFC versus controls who were unchallenged but not significantly different based on OFC outcome. QoL is, in addition, moderated by income, the presence of atopic dermatitis, and having multiple individuals with food allergy. OFC is associated with better caregiver QoL, irrespective of challenge outcome.
