Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The combined nasal symptom and medication score | 12 months of treatment | The symptoms assessed are: itchy nose, sneezing, runny nose, and blocked nose (all rated from 0-3). The medication score is 1 for oral and/or topical antihistamines, 2 for intranasal corticosteroids, and 3 for oral corticosteroids. The scores from the nasal symptoms are added and divided by 4 to a total daily symptom score from 0-3.Final score range from 0 to 6, higher score meaning a worse outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Score of the specific medication scale | 12 months of treatment. | The medication score is 1 for oral and/or topical antihistamines, 2 for intranasal corticosteroids, and 3 for oral corticosteroids. Final score range from 0 to 3, higher score meaning worse outcome. |
| Percentage of days without symptoms or medication | 12 months of treatment | Percentage of days with a zero value for symptom and medication recorded in the patient digital diary |
| VAS score (completed by the patient and the investigator) | 12 months of treatment. | Visual analogue score from 0 (no symptoms) to 100mm (serious symptoms) to assess global symptoms of allergy |
| RCAT questionnaire | 12 months of treatment. | Rhinitis Control Assessment Test. Score from 6 (poor control) to 30 (good control) |
| Mini-RQLQ questionnaires | 12 months of treatment. | Mini-Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire |
| Score of the nasal symptoms scale | 12 months of treatment | Symptoms assessed are: itchy nose, sneezing, runny nose, and blocked nose (all rated from 0-3). Final score range from 0 to 3, higher score meaning worse outcome. |
| Number of local and systemic reactions. | 13 months of study follow up | Number of local and systemic reaccions associated with the treatment |
| Cost-effectiveness analysis | 13 months of study follow up | Number days/ visits related to allergy |
| The combined asthma symptom and medication score | 12 months of treatment | The symptoms assessed are: symptoms during the day, symptoms during the night and physical activity limitations (all rated from 0-3). The medication score is 1 for inhalated corticoids (low dose) , 2 for inhalated corticosteroids associated with LABA, and 3 for inhalated corticosteroids medium dosis associated with LABA. The scores from the symptoms are added and divided by 3 to a total daily symptom score from 0-3. The total daily medication score ranges from 0-3. |
| PEF | 12 months of treatment | Peak expiratory flow measured with a Smart Peak Flow device |
| ACT questionnaire | 12 months of treatment | Asthma Control Test Questionnaire to assess the control of asthma in asthmatic patients |
| Values in serum of specific IgE and IgG4 | 12 months of treatment. | Specific IgE and IgG4 to DPT and total DF, Der p1 and Der p2, Der p23, Der f1, Der f2 |
