Trends in US emergency department visits for anaphylaxis among infants and toddlers: 2006-2015

The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice Jan 28, 2021

Robinson LB, Arroyo AC, Faridi MK, et al. - Researchers sought to describe trends in emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations for anaphylaxis among infants and toddlers in the US from 2006-2015. They analyzed data from a large nationally representative database and identified an increase per year in the proportion of ED visits for anaphylaxis among infants and toddlers, from 20 per 100,000 visits to 50 per 100,000 visits, while there was a decrease in the proportion of hospitalization among anaphylaxis-related ED visits from 19% to 6%. The most commonly identified trigger was food. Among ED patients, higher likelihood for hospitalization was observed for those who were male, privately insured, from higher income families, and presenting to urban, metropolitan teaching hospital EDs.
