The future of allergic rhinitis management: A partnership between healthcare pr...
Cvetkovski, Biljana; Muscat, Danielle; Bousquet, Jean; Cabrera, Martha; House, Rachel; Katsoulotos, Gregory; Lourenço, Olga; Papadopoulos, NikolaosAllergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic respiratory condition that internationally continues to be burdensome and impacts quality of life. Despite availability of medicines and guidelines for healthcare providers for the optimal management of AR, optimisation of its management in the community continues to be elusive. The reasons for this are multi-faceted and include both environmental and healthcare related facto...
Consistent trajectories of rhinitis control and treatment in 16,177 weeks: The ...
Sousa-Pinto, Bernardo; Schünemann, Holger J.; Sá-Sousa, Ana; Vieira, Rafael José; Amaral, Rita; Anto, Josep M.; Klimek, Ludger; Czarlewski, WienczyslawaIntroduction: Data from mHealth apps can provide valuable information on rhinitis control and treatment patterns. However, in MASK-air ®, these data have only been analyzed cross-sectionally, without considering the changes of symptoms over time. We analyzed data from MASK-air ® longitudinally, clustering weeks according to reported rhinitis symptoms. Methods: We analyzed MASK-air ® data, assessing the weeks fo...
Development and validation of an electronic daily control score for asthma (e-D...
Sousa-Pinto, Bernardo; Jácome, Cristina; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Regateiro, Frederico S.; Almeida, Rute; Czarlewski, Wienczyslawa; Kulus, MarekBackground Validated questionnaires are used to assess asthma control over the past 1–4 weeks from reporting. However, they do not adequately capture asthma control in patients with fluctuating symptoms. Using the Mobile Airways Sentinel Network for airway diseases (MASK-air) app, we developed and validated an electronic daily asthma control score (e-DASTHMA). Methods We used MASK-air data (freely available to ...
Digitally-enabled, patient-centred care in rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity: ...
Bousquet, Jean; Anto, Josep M; Sousa-Pinto, Bernardo; Czarlewski, Wienczyslawa; Bedbrook, Anna; Haahtela, Tari; Klimek, Ludger; Pfaar, OliverMASK-air® , a validated mHealth app (Medical Device regulation Class IIa) has enabled large observational implementation studies in over 58,000 people with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma. It can help to address unmet patient needs in rhinitis and asthma care. MASK-air® is a Good Practice of DG Santé on digitally-enabled, patient-centred care. It is also a candidate Good Practice of OECD (Organisation for Econo...
Rhinitis associated with asthma is distinct from rhinitis alone: TARIA‐MeDALL h...
Bousquet, Jean; Melén, Erik; Haahtela, Tari; Koppelman, Gerard; Togias, Alkis; Valenta, Rudolf; Akdis, Cezmi; Czarlewski, Wienczyslawa; Rothenberg, MarcAsthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis (AD) are interrelated clinical phenotypes that partly overlap in the human interactome. The concept of “one-airway-one-disease,” coined over 20 years ago, is a simplistic approach of the links between upper- and lower-airway allergic diseases. With new data, it is time to reassess the concept. This article reviews (i) the clinical observations that led to Allergic Rhiniti...
The impact of implementing an allergic rhinitis clinical management pathway (AR...
House, Rachel; Kritikos, Vicky; Cvetkovski, Biljana; Rimmer, Janet; Yan, Kwok; Cheong, Lynn; Bousquet, Jean; Lourenço, Olga; Bosnic-Anticevich, SinthiaBackground The Allergic Rhinitis Clinical Management Pathway (AR-CMaP) was developed to overcome the challenge of implementing current AR guidelines in the Australian community pharmacy practice and support pharmacists in optimally managing patients' AR. Objective(s) To evaluate the impact of AR-CMaP on patients' behaviour and pharmacists' needs in managing AR in the pharmacy. Methods This study used a cross-se...
Patient‐centered digital biomarkers for allergic respiratory diseases and asthm...
Bousquet, Jean; Shamji, Mohamed; Anto, Josep M.; Schünemann, Holger; Canonica, Giorgio Walter; Jutel, Marek; Del Giacco, Stafano; Zuberbier, TorstenBiomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with rhinitis and/ or asthma are urgently needed. Although some biologic biomarkers exist in specialist care for asthma, they cannot be largely used in primary care. There are no validated biomarkers in rhinitis or allergen immunotherapy (AIT) that can be used in clinical practice. The digital transformation of health and health care (including m...

Management of anaphylaxis due to COVID-19 vaccines in the elderly
Bousquet, Jean; Agache, Ioana; Blain, Hubert; Jutel, Marek; Ventura, Maria Teresa; Worm, Margitta; Del Giacco, Stefano; Benetos, AthanasiosOlder adults, especially men and/or those with diabetes, hypertension and/or obesity, are prone to severe COVID-19. In some countries, older adults, particularly those residing in nursing homes, have been prioritised to receive COVID-19 vaccines due to high risk of death. In very rare instances,the COVID-19 vaccines can induce anaphylaxis, and the management of anaphylaxis in older people should be considered c...
ARIA-EAACI care pathways for allergen immunotherapy in respiratory allergy
Bousquet, Jean; Pfaar, Oliver; Agache, Ioana; Bedbrook, Anna; Akdis, Cezmi; Canonica, Giorgio Walter; Chivato, Tomas; Al-Ahmad, Mona; Rasib, A. H. AbdulAllergen immunotherapy (AIT), the gradually increasing repeated administration of high doses of allergens to allergic patients, offers the potential for immune tolerance against reactions to the natural exposures to specific allergens. AIT may lead to the long‐lasting remission of allergic symptoms and is the only disease‐modifying intervention in IgE‐mediated allergic respiratory diseases. [...]
