Article Synopsis
  • Anaphylactic shock is a serious condition triggered by allergens, but there is a general lack of awareness about its risks and management, particularly in the western region of Saudi Arabia.
  • A survey conducted from January to June 2024 involved 501 participants, revealing that while many recognize the danger of anaphylaxis, knowledge about its symptoms and treatment options, such as epinephrine, is low.
  • The results underscore the necessity for public awareness campaigns aimed at improving understanding and preparedness for anaphylactic emergencies.

Objective: Although belimumab has been widely used in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) globally, real-world safety data among Chinese patients are limited, particularly for children. This study assessed the safety and tolerability of belimumab in adult and paediatric patients with SLE in China in real-world clinical practice.

Methods: This Phase 4, multicentre, prospective, observational study enrolled patients prescribed intravenous belimumab by their physicians in tertiary hospitals, independent of a clinical study, during routine clinical visits between May 2021 and May 2022.
