AbstractThe proportion of allergic diseases attributable to atopy remains a subject of controversy. This study aimed to estimate the population risk of physician-diagnosed asthma, rhinitis and eczema attributed to atopy among a population sample of Asian school-age children. Asian children aged 5–18 years (n = 1321) in the Prediction of Allergies in Taiwanese CHildren (PATCH) study were tested for serum allergen-specific immunoglobulin E. Physician-diagnosed asthma, rhinitis and eczema were assessed by a modified International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire. Atopy was defined as the presence of serum allergen-specific immunoglobulin E. In this population-based study, 50.4% of the subjects with asthma, 46.3% with rhinitis, and 46.7% with eczema were attributable to atopy. The population attributable risk (PAR) of atopy for three allergic diseases was higher in adolescents (asthma, 54.4%; rhinitis, 59.6%; eczema, 49.5%) than younger children aged less than 10 years (asthma, 46.9%; rhinitis, 39.5%; eczema, 41.9%). Among the seven allergen categories, sensitization to mites had the highest PARs for all three allergic diseases (51.3 to 64.1%), followed by sensitization to foods (asthma, 7.1%; rhinitis, 10.4%; eczema 27.7%). In conclusion, approximately half (46.3 to 50.4%) of Asian children in Taiwan with allergic diseases are attributable to atopy.

Abstract Our local registry identified 656 brain tumours from Jan 1999 to Dec 2018, (incidence: 29.8/yr/million). Other from Glioma, Medulloblastoma/PNET, Germ Cell tumours, Ependymoma, the remaining rarer tumours accounted for 18% (n=118). The 7 more common groups are: craniopharyngioma(n=28); ATRT(n=18); choroid plexus papilloma/CA(n=12); Ganglioglioma(n=11); ETMR(n=7); DNET(n=7); meningioma(n=6). Their respective incidences are 1.27; 0.81; 0.55; 0.5; 0.32; 0.32 0.27/yr/million. For craniopharyngioma, M:F=15:13 and median age was 7.4yrs (2mons-16.5yrs). 12/28 children had surgery alone and 13/28 had focal RT post-surgery with better outcome. 3 underwent intra-cystic interferon-beta also stable. For ATRT, M:F=7:8 and median age was 2.3yrs (4mos-14.2yrs). 2 had metastatic disease and 7/18 patients remained alive. For choroid plexus tumours, there were 7 papilloma, 2 atypia and 3 carcinoma. M:F=5:6 and median age was 1.5yrs (4mos-14yrs). All papilloma, 1/2 atypia and 1/3 carcinoma survived. For ganglioglioma, M:F=7:4 with median age of 5.5yrs (5mos-13.2yrs). They commonly presented with seizure and only one died (brainstem primary). The ETMR includes ependymoblastoma and medulloepithelioma, they had quite different clinical characteristics and outcome. 6/7 DNET had convulsion and M:F=6:1. Median age was 11.5yrs (2.66-14yrs). They all survived even if incompletely resected. For meningioma, 1/6 had germline mutation of NF-2 gene. M:F=3:3 and onset was >8yrs except the NF-2 patient. All survived but the NF-2 had multiple recurrences. 4 patients developed secondary meningioma due to irradiation but they were >18yrs so excluded. In summary, rarer forms of childhood brain tumours only accounted for <20% of all brain tumours and they had diverse presenting features and outcome.
