The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice Jun 19, 2020
Carrillo-Martin I, Gonzalez-Estrada A, Funni SA, et al. - Researchers utilized de-identified data from NHAMCS (National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey) from 2007 to 2015, to analyze the contemporary epidemiology as well as the trends of emergency department (ED) visits for allergic reactions, angioedema, and anaphylaxis in the US during this time frame via this retrospective study. During 2007 to 2015, about 10 million ED visits were reported to be related to allergy-associated conditions accounting for 0.85% of all ED visits in the US. Findings revealed a rise of 14% for allergy-related ED visits from 2007 to 2015, with the highest relative risk noted in patients under 10 years of age. Further proof of rising allergic conditions in the US is afforded by these findings.
