- Anaphylaxis requires observation after symptoms resolve to catch any rare but serious delayed complications, and this review aims to determine which patients might need longer observation times.
- The study analyzed 2443 citations and focused on 49 articles, identifying that biphasic anaphylaxis is the main reason for prolonged observation, with key risk factors including time to first epinephrine, past anaphylaxis, and symptom severity.
