Food Allergy in Children
Conditions
Brief summary
The main aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the OITcontrol application in patients undergoing OIT of eggs or milk used during the follow-up of this treatment.
Detailed description
1. Evaluate the quality of life of patients with respect to their food allergy by analyzing the data from the FAQLQ-CF and/or SFAQoL-PF questionnaires. 2. Evaluate the perception of patients on the quality and safety of hospital care through the analysis of the adapted SERVQHOS questionnaire and the Evolution of the perception of patients on the safety of health services. 3. Evaluate patient safety with OITcontrol based on: 1. Number of reactions in the hospital, 2. Number of reactions outside the hospital, 3. Compliance with the information and recommendations by the patient: i. recording shots, ii. reaction log, iii. discordances between the medication used and prescribed after a reaction, iv. avoidance of cofactors. 4. Evaluate the consumption of health resources regarding the use, derived from the OIT of the following resources: 1. Number of extraordinary visits to the allergy department, 2. Number of phone calls for questions, 3. Number of visits to the emergency department.

| The effectiveness of OITcontrol as an application to improve the quality of life. | 12 weeks | Improve the quality of life of patients, as well as their perception of the quality and safety of hospital care, safety and the reduction of the consumption of health resources in patients under OITcontrol. * Baseline variables of the patient's clinical history in relation to their allergy to the allergen in the OIT, their base treatment and/or premedication, and the baseline sensitization parameters (skin test, total and specific IgE to the allergen of the OIT) obtained in the V0. The variables of the first day of treatment will be collected: threshold dose, last tolerated dose, and type of reaction presented. * The variables in the escalation visits will be taken in the space of time between two hospital visits. The data to be collected in a hospital visit correspond to the events that occurred during that hospital visit and in the home doses or extraordinary hospital visits of the previous week from the last ordinary hospi |
