Effect of exposure and sensitization to indoor allergens on asthma control level - Effect of exposure and sensitization to indoor allergens on asthma control level

Sixty-nine patients were exposed to high levels (> 10 microg/g dust for Der 1 and Can f 1 and > 8 microg/g dust for Fel d 1) of 1 or more allergens and 39 patients were sensitized to at least one allergen. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the FEV1 (% of predicted value) was associated with low ACT scores (&#8804; 19) and that the number of highly exposed allergens and inhaled corticosteroid dose were associated with a low level of Min%Max PEF (< 80%).
