Introduction: The drug allergy alert system reduces the frequency of adverse drug events, although it is subjected to collateral effects, since 80-90% of alerts are not real, and a large percentage of alerts are overridden (46.2-96.2%).

Introduction: The drug provocation test (DPT) is the gold standard for the drug allergy workup; however, it is not free from severe adverse reactions. Our aim was to obtain robust data that predict a reaction during or after the DPT at the first contact with the patient in the allergy outpatient clinic.
Methods: The population of this cross-sectional study comprised all patients undergoing a drug allergy workup (clinical assessment, specific IgE, or skin tests, or DPT) at University Hospital Fundacion Alcorcon in 2016.
Background: This study investigated patients' preference for allergy immunotherapy (AIT) administered as either sublingual immunotherapy-tablets versus monthly or weekly subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) from a Spanish patient perspective.
Methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) consisting of two blocks with eight choice sets in each was constructed to elicit the preferences for AIT. Three attributes were included in the DCE for the mode of administration, including the frequency of administration, the risk of systemic reactions and the co-payment.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying factors that contribute to the failure of asthma treatment step-down in patients with moderate to severe asthma who were on a combination therapy of inhaled glucocorticoids and long-acting beta agonists.
- Results showed that 41.7% of patients experienced step-down failure, with significant factors including older age, multiple comorbidities, severity of asthma, and a short duration of previous asthma control.
- The conclusion emphasizes that successful step-down is more likely when patients have maintained asthma control for over 6 months, suggesting that careful consideration is needed before adjusting treatment.
Relationship Between Anaphylaxis and Use of Beta-Blockers and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.
J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract
March 2019
Background: Beta-blockers (BBs) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) have been associated with an increased risk and severity of anaphylaxis. However, the evidence supporting these findings is contradictory.
Objective: We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that assess the influence of BBs and ACEIs on anaphylaxis.
Background: Five-grass pollen tablet is an effective and well-tolerated therapy for patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (ARC). This trial sought to determine the satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients undergoing this treatment.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional, multicentre, observational, naturalistic study, following a discontinuous pre- and co-seasonal five-grass pollen regimen over two seasons in Spain (2012, 2013).
Incidence of anaphylaxis in hospitalized patients.
Int Arch Allergy Immunol
November 2011
Background: Only two studies have analyzed the incidence of anaphylaxis during admission to hospital. We have analyzed the incidence of anaphylaxis among hospitalized patients and determined the timing of and risk factors for episodes of anaphylaxis.
Methods: Our study was performed between 1999 and 2005.
