  1. Canadian Asthma Primary Prevention Study (CAPPS) Chris Carlsten, MD MPH University of British Columbia Chris Carlsten University of British Columbia Genesis of Asthma and Allergy Workshop, Mar-1-09

  2. Initiating PIs (early 1990’s) Allan Becker Moira Chan-Yeung Funding CIHR BC Lung Association Manitoba Medical Service Fund

  3. Establishment of cohort • mothers of high-risk infants (n = 545) from Vancouver and Winnipeg were recruited during the third trimester of pregnancy • high-risk was defined as having at least one first-degree relative with asthma or two first-degree relatives with IgE-mediated allergic disease • families were randomized to the control (usual care) or intervention group • avoidance of HDM, pet allergen, and ETS • breast-feeding encouraged • formula supplementation if necessary • introduction of solid foods delayed Chris Carlsten, MD MPH University of British Columbia

  4. Establishment of cohort Chris Carlsten, MD MPH University of British Columbia Chan-Yeung Arch Ped 2000 Note: 380 (70%) returned for assessment at 7 years of age

  5. Establishment of cohort Chris Carlsten, MD MPH University of British Columbia Chan-Yeung Arch Ped 2000

  6. Exposures and related analytes(http://genapha.icapture.ubc.ca) Chris Carlsten, MD MPH University of British Columbia

  7. A pediatric allergist-based diagnosis of asthma and rhinitis • Questionnaire-based symptoms and medication use • IgE in blood • Atopy (skin prick positive to ≥1 of 13 antigen panel) • URI (by report) • Methacholine challenge PC20* • * Another attractive discussion point; PC20≤2 best AUC for sensitivity and specificity relative to MD diagnosis; preliminary data from Helen Ward, PhD Outcomes Chris Carlsten, MD MPH University of British Columbia

  8. ‘Strengths’ • high-risk cohort (enhanced for outcomes of interest) • detailed phenotyping (including PC20) • detailed early life exposure (including cord blood) • LUR • 7 year follow-up, with recent new funding for 14 years Chris Carlsten, MD MPH University of British Columbia

  9. ‘Weaknesses’ • High risk design limits generalizability • Randomized intervention within study complicates the analysis of gene-environment interactions* • Modest N • * a great topic for discussion in this meeting Chris Carlsten, MD MPH University of British Columbia
