Background: Since the publication of the 2022 Drug Allergy Practice Parameters (DAPP) of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) and American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI), it is unclear the extent to which the simplified and risk-stratified evaluation of cephalosporin allergy has been incorporated into allergy practice.
Objective: We aimed to assess current cephalosporin allergy testing practices using real case examples.
Methods: An 18-question REDCap survey was sent to the 136 members of the Adverse Reactions to Drugs, Biologics and Latex (ARDBL) Committee of the AAAAI between February and April 2023.
