This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy containing glutaraldehydempolymerized extracts of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, and L. destructor in mite-allergic patients in Spain. This retrospective multicenter study included 199 patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, with or without asthma. Effectiveness outcomes included combined symptom and medication scores (CSMS), symptom scores, and medication use. Safety outcomes included adverse reactions. Mixed models for repeated measures showed significant improvements in rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma outcomes (all p &lt; 0.001). Adjusted LS-mean rhinoconjunctivitis CSMS decreased by 50.7% at T1 and 76.1% at T4; symptom and medication scores decreased by 85.3% and 69.3%, respectively, at T4. Asthma CSMS decreased by 43.1% at T1 and 89.0% at T5, while symptom and medication scores decreased by 93.4% and 88.5%, respectively. Similar patterns were observed in children. No systemic reactions occurred. Twenty mild local reactions were recorded in 17 patients (8.5%), corresponding to an estimated rate of 0.32% across 6169 injections. This AIT was associated with sustained clinical improvement and a favorable safety profile in adults and children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27167397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T07:58:23Z","timestamp":1787126303000},"page":"7397","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Real-World Effectiveness and Safety of Allergen Immunotherapy with a Combination of Glutaraldehyde-Polymerized Allergen Extracts of Dermatophagoides spp. and Lepidoglyphus destructor in Adults and Children"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Francisco Javier","family":"Carballada Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lucus Augusti University Hospital, 27003 Lugo, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Garc\u00eda Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Basurto, 48013 Bilbao, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bel\u00e9n","family":"Hinojosa Jara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bel\u00e9n Hinojosa Medical Clinic, 21001 Huelva, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Rodr\u00edguez Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Marqu\u00e9s de Valdecilla, 39008 Santander, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"A\u00f1\u00f3 Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alergocantabria, 39002 Santander, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Marav\u00ed San Mart\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro M\u00e9dico Sanitas Sevilla, 41010 Sevilla, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7474-7305","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis Alfredo","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez Guzm\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lucus Augusti University Hospital, 27003 Lugo, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9176-1424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irene","family":"Garc\u00eda Guti\u00e9rrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Marqu\u00e9s de Valdecilla, 39008 Santander, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sof\u00eda","family":"Alonso Juaristi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Marqu\u00e9s de Valdecilla, 39008 Santander, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Jes\u00fas","family":"Gim\u00e9nez Revilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Basurto, 48013 Bilbao, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2330-3963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"Casanovas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inmunotek S.L., Punto Mobi 5, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, 28805 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7216-8281","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Judith","family":"D\u00edaz-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inmunotek S.L., Punto Mobi 5, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, 28805 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yara","family":"Ruiz Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inmunotek S.L., Punto Mobi 5, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, 28805 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1186\/s40413-018-0187-2","article-title":"The importance of allergic disease in public health: An iCAALL statement","volume":"11","author":"Martin","year":"2018","journal-title":"World Allergy Organ.
