    Perkin MR, Logan K, Tseng A, Raji B, Ayis S, Peacock J, Lack G

    Published in New England Journal of Medicine

    Key Findings

    Early introduction of six allergenic foods did not reduce food allergy in the intention-to-treat analysis, though a per-protocol effect was seen for peanut and egg.

    Conclusions

    Benefit of early introduction depends heavily on adherence to sufficient allergen dose.

    Limitations

    Low adherence in the early-introduction group limits interpretation.
