SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. David Hill, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia: "When an allergen is introduced to the immune system via the skin, a breakdown in the skin barrier, that can be a real risk factor for development of allergy. And so that was actually one of the early observations that led to the seminal work in 2015 known as the LEAP study, which showed that if we actually introduce that allergen to children by mouth, having them eat it, before they're introduced to it via their skin, we can reduce the risk that that child's going to go on to develop the food allergy itself."

They were randomized to either early peanut introduction or normal peanut introduction. And what the authors found is that the rate of peanut allergy was significantly lower. The long-term data suggests up to 70% lower in the children that had the early peanut introduction." ASSOCIATED PRESS Archive: Jerusalem - 15 March 2017 7.

SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. David Hill, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia: "You know, hindsight's 20/20. It would have been nice to recognize this earlier and implement it even faster. At the same time, this is probably the biggest public health success in allergy in the modern era, I would say. You know, what our data shows is that because of, or at least associated with those early introduction guidelines, there's about 60,000 less kids with food allergy today than there would have been."

DO NOT MOVE UNTIL THEN A decade after a landmark study proved that feeding peanut products to young babies could prevent development of life-threatening allergies, new research finds the change has made a big difference in the real world. About 60,000 children have avoided developing peanut allergies after guidance first issued in 2015 upended medical practice by recommending introducing the allergen to infants starting as early as 4 months. “That’s a remarkable thing, right?” said Dr. David Hill, an allergist and researcher at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and author of a study published Monday in the medical journal Pediatrics. Hill and colleagues analyzed electronic health records from dozens of pediatric practices to track diagnoses of food allergies in young children before, during and after the guidelines were issued. “I can actually come to you today and say there are less kids with food allergy today than there would have been if we hadn't implemented this public health effort," he added.
