Analyzing comorbidities and their influence on severe asthma
Comorbidities have been a focus of asthma care and can heavily influence both management and prognosis. Comorbidities can mimic asthma resulting in discordance between asthma symptoms and objective measures of disease control.1,2 Hence, their assessment and management have been an area of intense interest in the Global Initiative for Asthma and key expert reviews.3,4 Lacking, however, is a good understanding of their prevalence, correlation with clinically available biomarkers, and impact on meaningful asthma outcomes such as exacerbations, baseline control, and lung function, particularly in severe asthma.

Co-morbidities have been a focus of asthma care and can heavily influence both management and prognosis. Co-morbidities can mimic asthma resulting in discordance between asthma symptoms and objective measures of disease control (1, 2). Hence, their assessment and management has been an area of intense interest in the Global Initiative for Asthma and key expert reviews (3, 4).

A novel two-step process for the management of inpatient beta-lactam allergy labels
CONCLUSION: A full-time inpatient beta-lactam allergy service using medication history review and risk stratification can safely and effectively remove inpatient beta-lactam allergy labels, reduce aztreonam use, and decrease beta-lactam desensitizations.PMID:38151095 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2023.12.028 (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

Baked Milk and Egg Diets Revisited
Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2023 Dec 25:S1081-1206(23)01509-0. doi: 10.1016/j.anai.2023.12.024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMost milk and egg allergic children are non-reactive to modified forms of milk and egg in bakery products such as muffins due to conformational changes in proteins. These baked milk (BM) and baked egg (BE) diets have become commonplace in the management of milk and egg allergy, respectively. Current laboratory and skin test based diagnostic approaches remain limited in their ability to predict BM/BE tolerance, resulting in various approaches to introduce these foods. One approach to introduce BM/BE ...

Physician adherence to anaphylaxis guidelines among different age groups in emergency departments: 20-year observational study
CONCLUSION: The real-world physician adherence to anaphylaxis guidelines remains suboptimal in emergency departments, particularly among elders. Physician continuing education is needed to improve the gap between anaphylaxis guidelines and clinical practice.PMID:38151099 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2023.12.026 (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

Impact of pre-biologic impairment on meeting domain-specific biologic responder definitions in patients with severe asthma
CONCLUSION: Our results provide realistic outcome-specific post-biologic expectations for both physicians and patients, will be foundational to inform future work on a multi-dimensional approach to define and assess biologic responders and response, and may enhance appropriate patient selection for biologic therapies.PMID:38151100 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2023.12.023 (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)
