Allergic Rhinitis Co-morbidity on Asthma Outcomes in City School Children
Conclusions: Among a large school-based cohort of minoritized children with asthma, we found that the majority of children have comorbid allergic rhinitis, which was associated with increased asthma morbidity. Inadequate recognition and treatment for allergic rhinitis likely represents substantial preventable morbidity for this group.PMID:35195499 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2022.2043363

Moving Into Green Healthy Housing
Conclusion: The mixed method approach employed here describes the complex relationships among self-reported health, housing conditions, environmental measures, and clinical data. Housing conditions and self-reported physical and mental health improved in green healthy housing. Health care cost savings in Medicaid due to improved housing could not be quantified here but hold promise for future investigations with larger cohorts over a longer follow-up period.

Use of Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists Are Associated with a Similar Risk of Asthma Exacerbations as Inhaled Corticosteroids
Conclusion Risks of asthma-related exacerbations did not differ between children who initiated LTRA and ICS. These findings may be explainable by LTRA, which has similar effectiveness as ICS in real-life usage by residual confounding by indication or other unmeasured factors.

Allergy immunotherapy: Reduced health care costs in adults and children with allergic rhinitis
Background: Research demonstrates significant health care cost savings conferred by allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) to US children with allergic rhinitis (AR).Objective: We sought to examine whether AIT-related cost benefits conferred to US children with AR similarly extend to adults.Methods: A retrospective (1997-2009) Florida Medicaid claims analysis compared mean 18-month health care costs of patients with newly diagnosed AR who received de novo AIT and were continuously enrolled for 18 months or more versus matched control subjects not receiving AIT. Analyses were conducted for the total sample and separately for...
