Abstract

Patients with peach allergy due to nsLTP sensitisation constitute a heterogeneous group in terms of sensitisation profile and severity. This could be due to the presence of additional allergies to pollens. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical characteristics, sensitisation profile, and severity of reactions in peach-allergic patients sensitised to nsLTP from two Mediterranean areas with different pollen exposure.Patients with diagnosis of LTP allergy from the Allergy Unit of Hospital Regional Universitario de Malaga (HRUM) and Hospital Clinic de Barcelona (HCB) were prospectively included and classified into two groups; (a) LTP-monoallergic: those that presented reaction only with peach, and (b) LTP-Allergy: those that presented reaction with peach and at least another plant-food containing LTP.252 patients were included, 235 (93.2%) had LTP-syndrome and 17 (6.8%) were LTP-monoallergic. We found a higher percentage of anaphylaxis and delayed onset of symptoms in the LTP-monoallergic group (p=0.02 and p=0.04, respectively). Moreover, anaphylaxis was less frequent in patients with profilin sensitisation (p=0.03). The comparison of patients' data from HRUM with data from HCB showed differences in sensitisation to olive tree pollen and profilin (p=0.01 and p=0.001, respectively).This study was undertaken to characterize two large group of subjects from to two regions with differing exposures to pollen. We found that more than 90% of peach-allergic patients in both populations evolved to LTP-Allergy and showed an early onset. Profilin sensitisation could be more useful as a severity biomarker than the number of nsLTP, aeroallergen sensitisations, or sIgE levels. This could provide clues regarding sensitisation and severity patterns that might be relevant in other geographical areas.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Allergy due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency WoS (JCR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2020, it was in position 1/28, thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Allergy. Notably, the journal is positioned above the 90th percentile.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 1.11. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 14, 2024)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Field Citation Ratio (FCR) from Dimensions: 8.91 (source consulted: Dimensions Jun 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-06-26, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 26
  • Scopus: 30
  • Europe PMC: 9
  • OpenCitations: 22

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-26:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 35.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 35 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.5.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 2 (Altmetric).
