Management and disease burden of children and adults with severe IgE-mediated food allergy: Are adults the lost population?

Lacking causal treatment options in most cases, severe IgE-mediated food allergies (IgE-FA) are associated with a high burden of disease due to permanent risk of anaphylactic reactions after accidental allergen ingestion. To date, only few data comparing health resources and burden of disease betwee...

Description
Summary:Lacking causal treatment options in most cases, severe IgE-mediated food allergies (IgE-FA) are associated with a high burden of disease due to permanent risk of anaphylactic reactions after accidental allergen ingestion. To date, only few data comparing health resources and burden of disease between the pediatric and adult population are available. Our survey aimed to assess the care situation of pediatric and adult patients with severe, self-reported physician-diagnosed IgE-FA. The survey was conducted via an online questionnaire consisting of 32 items covering participant demographics, comorbidities, triggers, utilization of health resources, current management and burden of disease of FA, according to age groups (
