Association Between Caregiver Burden and Treatment Adherence in Japanese Children With Allergic Rhinitis Receiving Sublingual Immunotherapy
Most caregivers of SLIT-treated children reported higher treatment satisfaction than treatment burden. Caregiver burden emerged shortly after the start of SLIT and was also associated with lower adherence in children. This study emphasized the need for strategies to support caregivers and optimize adherence in the early stages of SLIT.
