Labs, skin prick tests, and PFT/ENO are repeated.
When returning for annual remission appointments, your child will have two visits, a testing day, and an Annual Remission Visit with a physician. During the testing appointment, your child will complete a pulmonary function test (PFT)/exhaled nitric oxide (ENO) test if over 7 years old, a skin prick test, and a blood draw. An evaluation by a healthcare provider is also conducted. These assessments occur 9 months after Remission Visit 1.
This testing will be compared to testing your child completed throughout the program. The values are reviewed at the 12-month mark during the Annual Remission Call, which is a telehealth visit. This will also be where you can ask any questions you may have.
