Addressing Early Introduction of Peanuts in Infants and Improving the Screening Process at Community Based Clinics: A Resident-Led QI Project
Based on findings from the landmark LEAP trial, the 2017 NIAID Addendum Guidelines for the Prevention of Peanut Allergy in the United States offer guidance on early introduction of peanuts to infants at risk for developing peanut allergy. Yet, concern exists that incorporation of these guidelines into general pediatric practice has been limited. A quality improvement project was conducted to identify knowledge gaps and barriers to adoption of these guidelines in resident-staffed pediatric clinics of Oishei Children ’s Hospital, and increase discussion of peanut allergy at infant well visits.

Overcoming barriers to effective management of food-induced anaphylaxis in underserved populations through school-based interventions
Food allergy is a significant public health concern in the United States, affecting an estimated 1 in 13 children and 2-3% of adults with evidence of increasing prevalence. Food exposure is the most common cause of anaphylaxis in children and 40% of US children with food allergy will experience a severe reaction.1 Management of food allergy centers on avoidance of the culprit food(s) and access to epinephrine autoinjectors in case of accidental exposure. Early recognition of anaphylaxis and administration of epinephrine are essential during severe food reactions.

LEAPing into the void
The prevalence of immunoglobulin E –mediated food allergy has reached epidemic levels in much of the world, placing a substantial burden on affected patients, their families, and health systems.1 As of November 2022, there remains only 1 therapeutic option approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of food aller gy in the United States and it is only indicated for the treatment of pediatric peanut allergy. Meanwhile, no food allergy treatments are currently approved by the Therapeutic Goods Association, the governing body in Australia, where the study by Vale et al,2 to which this editorial refers, was carr ied out.

OR077 The prevalence of nut and seafood allergies among adults in the United States
Food allergy (FA) has been found to be a serious, costly, and potentially life-threatening condition that can substantially impair quality of life. However, while numerous studies have aimed to characterize FA burden on US pediatric populations, adult FA prevalence studies have been scant and methodologically limited Therefore, the current study aims to characterize the prevalence and demographic determinants of food allergy within a large, nationally representative sample of US adults.

Drug-induced Anaphylaxis Documented in Electronic Health Records
Conclusion EHR-reported anaphylaxis occurred in approximately 1% of patients, most commonly from penicillins, sulfonamide antibiotics, and NSAIDs. Females, whites, and patients with mastocytosis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and asthma had increased odds of reporting drug-induced anaphylaxis. The low observed frequency of tryptase testing and specialist evaluation emphasize the importance of educating providers on anaphylaxis management.

New Peanut Allergy Study Offers Promising Results For Kids
(CBS/CNN) – New research bodes well for young people with peanut allergies. Doctors exposed people with peanut allergies to small doses of peanut powder over a period of months, with promising results.
More than 500 people, most of whom were under the age of 17, took part in the study, which is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
In the end, two-thirds of the kids were able to eat the equivalent of two peanuts without any symptoms. Half were able to consume 3-4 peanuts in a single sitting. There was also widespread reduction in the number and severity of allergic reactions.
The results prove the treatme...
