Scientific titlePrimary prevention of asthma and atopy by allergen avoidance. Do preventative measures influence the type and degree of airway inflammation?
Study objectivesPrimary prevention of asthma and atopy by allergen avoidance. Do preventative measures influence the type and degree of airway inflammation?
Ethics approval(s)Southampton & South West Hampshire Research Ethics Committee (B) approved on the 26th November 2008 (ref: 08/H0504/184)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Respiratory; Subtopic: Respiratory (all Subtopics); Disease: Respiratory
InterventionDietary and house dust mite allergy prevention.

Sputum Induction:
This involves breathing in a mist of saline solution, which helps make phlegm in the lungs, which is then collected in a sputum pot.

Exhaled Nitric Oxide reading:
Levels will be measured using the single expiratory breath method using ATS/ERS guidelines. A bio-feedback device will be used to maintain the expiratory flow rate at 50 ml/s, subjects will exhale against a resistance to prevent upper airway contamination.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureNumber of sputum eosinophils in the intervention versus control group.

Sputum samples will be collected during a visit to the research centre, with preparation and analysis taking place after.
Secondary outcome measures1. Number of other cells (1) neutrophils, (2): epithelial cells in sputum in the two groups
2. Eosinophilic inflammatory markers (eosinophilic cationic protein and interleukin 5) in sputum supernatant in the two groups

Sputum samples will be collected during a visit to the research centre, with preparation and analysis taking place after.
