Abstract
It is generally thought that infants with a first-degree familial predisposition of asthma are at higher risk of developing asthma than infants without predisposition. To investigate whether there is an association between being at high risk for developing asthma and increased level of total IgE in newborns and whether total IgE is influenced by gender, family size, birth season, maternal smoking, birth weight, gestational age, and maternal diet. Two hundred and twenty-one high risk and 308 low-risk infants were prenatally selected in a 5-year-period. Three to 5 days after birth, the total IgE was measured in capillary heel blood. Data on total IgE and first-degree familial predisposition were available for 170 high-risk and 300 low-risk infants. There was a statistically significant relationship between being at high-risk (maternal asthma) and increased levels of total IgE in newborns (total IgE cut-off levels: 0.6-0.9 IU/mL (odds ratio (OR)=2.1, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2-3.7 to 3.0, 95% CI: 1.5-5.9)), between being born in autumn and increased levels of total IgE in newborns [total IgE cut-off levels: 0.5-0.6 IU/mL (OR=2.5, 95% CI: 1.2-5.1 to 2.5, 95% CI: 1.2-5.4)] and between maternal vitamin supplements intake and d...Continue Reading
