BOHRF Original Authors' Main Conclusions
The original authors' main conclusions are taken from Abstract, Results and
Discussion. They are decided upon by the authors of the BOHRF occupational
asthma guidelines and form part of the guidelines.
Exposure response modelling using classical epidemiological approaches and advanced statistical methods suggested an increased risk of sensitisation with increasing dust and allergen exposure and gave similar "lowest" or "no observed effect levels" (LOEL or NOEL) estimates. When sensitisation plus asthma or rhinitis was considered as critical endpoint, exposure-response relationships were steeper indicating lower LOEL values. (Atopics exposed to low levels of wheat allergen had approximately 2-fold increased risk of sensitisation compared with non-exposed atopics. This risk increased with increasing exposure, for atopics and non-atopics).
