“…Associated factors included singleton or multiple pregnancies, parity, meconium staining, maternal age, normal spontaneous delivery or cesarean section, birth length, body weight, head and chest circumferences, meconium passage, birth season, and weeks of gestation. Mothers who underwent emergency cesarean section for premature birth with tocolytic failure, babies with fetal distress, or severe maternal diseases such that newborns could not be admitted to the baby room were excluded from this study [22,23]. We performed a sensitivity analysis due to the increasing numbers of food allergy diagnoses after Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) trial on evaluated allergens [24].…”

Food sensitization in early life identifies children at risk of developing allergic diseases. We investigated the sensitization to cow milk (CM), egg whites, and wheat. Newborns and infants under 3 years of age with available specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) data were identified. A retrospective survey was conducted using data from the Chang Gung Research Database. Perinatal characteristics, such as singleton or multiples in a single pregnancy, parity, meconium staining, maternal age, spontaneous delivery or cesarean section, meconium passage, weeks of gestation, birth length, body weight, head and chest circumferences, and season, were obtained. The data on sIgE were collected, and a logistic regression model was used to determine the odds of sensitization. Positive sIgE for CM and egg whites was more likely to occur in boys than in girls. Early-life egg white and wheat sensitization was associated with increased birth body length and weight. A multivariate analysis indicated an association between egg white sIgE positivity and logarithmic total IgE. Higher total IgE levels and younger age were associated with egg white sensitization, and elevated weight and length at birth were linked to food sensitization, particularly to egg whites and wheat.
