- How can the use of these systemic agents in pediatric patients potentially mitigate the atopic march? What can we do to halt the progression of pediatric atopic diseases?
- Lin 2024: A cohort taking dupilumab showed a significant risk reduction in atopic march (HR, 0.60 for developing asthma; HR, 0.69 for developing allergic rhinitis) in patients 18 years or younger vs conventional immunomodulatory care without dupilumab.
