Literature review for - Flourish Paediatrics

eported a reduced risk of a history
of food allergy (outcome 32), double
food challenges showed no
significant risk reduction RR 0.77
( 95% CI 0.25-.41) (outcome
33).Neither Oddy 1999 nor Kramer
2000a found a significant reduction
in risk of recurrent (two or more
episodes) wheezing in the EBF group
pooled RR 0.79 (95% CI 0.49 -1.28)
(outcome 34). In the Kajosaari 1983
study, the reduction in risk of any
atopy at five years (outcome 35) in
the EBF group was nonsignificant
RR 0.68 (95% CI 0.40 -1.17), and no
reduction in risk was observed for
atopic eczema RR 0.97 (95% CI 0.50
-1.89) (outcome 36). A reduction in
risk of borderline significance was
observed for pollen allergy at five
years RR 0.53 (95% CI 0.28- 1.01)
(outcome 37). Both Kajosaari 1983
and Oddy 1999 reported on risk of
asthma at 5-6 years (outcome 38);
the pooled RR was 0.91 (95% CI
0.61-1.36). Reduced risks of history
of food allergy RR 0.61 (95% CI
0.12- 3.19) (outcome 39) and allergy
to animal dander RR 0.81 (95% CI
0.24 - 2.72) at five years (outcome
40) were far from achieving
statistical significance. Oddy 1999
