Universal information structure as a tool of long-term follow-up monitoring in allergology

The article is dedicated to the issues of organization of long-term follow-up monitoring of the patient population in real clinical practice. Every medical intervention is analyzed from the position of positive evidence of its effectiveness, safety and clinical-economic benefits. Although randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are the gold standard of evidence-based medicine, they feature a range of drawbacks; in some cases, such trials are infeasible are extremely complicated to perform due to certain aspects. Along with that, results of RCTs may not completely correlate with clinical practice. Thus, a register – a system of long-term clinical monitoring of a patient population – is a significant source of information on effectiveness and safety of medical interventions. This tool of follow-up observation of a patient’s condition is irreplaceable in medicine, particularly, in allergology both for epidemiological purposes and to assess effectiveness and safety of therapeutic interventions: e.g., use of IgE antibodies – biopharmaceutical omalizumab.Keywords: register, long-term follow-up monitoring system, effectiveness, safety, uncontrolled severe persisting bronchial asthma, omalizumab, children
