HOUSTON — Children who received the peanut patch saw improvements in their health-related quality of life, according to an analysis of the PEPITES and PEOPLE studies.

“Treatment with peanut epicutaneous immunotherapy resulted in significant improvement in quality of life, as measured by the food allergy quality of life questionnaire both for parents answering on behalf of their children and for the children answering on behalf of themselves,” Audrey Dunn Galvin, PhD, a lecturer in the School of Applied Psychology of University College Cork, Ireland, said during the presentation.
