Food allergy is a global public health problem that until recent years lacked any aetiological treatment supported by academy, industry and regulators. Food immunotherapy (AIT) is an evolving treatment option, supported by clinical practice and industry trial data. Recent AIT meta‐analyses have highlighted the difficulty in pooling safety and efficacy data from AIT trials, due to secondary heterogeneity...
Background
IgE‐mediated food allergy (FA) is a global health concern with substantial individual and societal implications. While diverse intervention strategies have been researched, inconsistencies in reported outcomes limit evaluations of FA treatments. To streamline evaluations and promote consistent reporting, the Core Outcome Measures for Food Allergy (COMFA) initiative aimed to establish a...
Background
Guidelines recommend intramuscular injection of 500 μg adrenaline (epinephrine) for anaphylaxis in teenagers and adults; however, most autoinjectors deliver a maximum 300 μg dose. We evaluated plasma adrenaline levels and cardiovascular parameters (including cardiac output) following self‐injection with 300 μg or 500 μg adrenaline in teenagers at risk of anaphylaxis.

This rapid review summarizes the most up to date evidence about the risk factors for severe food‐induced allergic reactions. We searched three bibliographic databases for studies published between January 2010 and August 2021. We included 88 studies and synthesized the evidence narratively, undertaking meta‐analysis where appropriate. Significant uncertainties remain with respect to the prediction...
Background
Food allergen immunotherapy (FA‐AIT) practice is known to vary globally. This project aims to identify and characterize European centres performing FA‐AIT.
Methods
An EAACI task force conducted an online survey to gather relevant information regarding FA‐AIT practice and setting‐specific resources after reviewing the published literature and congress abstracts throughout Europe.
Results...
Background
Clinical reactions to Oral Food Challenge (OFC) in peanut‐allergic individuals have been well‐characterised, but rates and phenotypes of symptom recurrence beyond the first hour after objective symptoms are less well‐characterised.
Objective
To evaluate the rate of new‐onset symptoms occurring at least 1 h after stopping OFC in peanut‐allergic children and adults undergoing peanut‐OFC...
