Snippet: Study limitations included: 1) the open-label design, which could have affected results through the placebo effect; 2) measurements for both secondary outcomes (i.e., sEDN level and rescue medication usage) were done only 2 times, once at the beginning of the study for baseline and a second time at the end of the study, so it may have been more beneficial to measure serially; 3) patient recruitment was through a few different healthcare centers, .....
Document: Study limitations included: 1) the open-label design, which could have affected results through the placebo effect; 2) measurements for both secondary outcomes (i.e., sEDN level and rescue medication usage) were done only 2 times, once at the beginning of the study for baseline and a second time at the end of the study, so it may have been more beneficial to measure serially; 3) patient recruitment was through a few different healthcare centers, which may have introduced spectrum bias and affected study results; 4) no sample size calculation was done, so that the number of eligible patients for the study (n = 43) may have been too small to accurately assess the association between predictor (i.e., elevated sEDN and positive IgE for HDM) and outcome (significant improvement in ACD, sEDN and rescue medication following treatment).
