Drug Allergy in Older Adults: A Study from the United States Drug Allergy Registry
CONCLUSION: Older adults represented a quarter of USDAR participants but were neither racially nor ethnically diverse and were generally healthy without considerable antibiotic need.

Drug allergy assessments may be underutilized in the older adults who are most vulnerable to the harms of unconfirmed antibiotic allergy labels.PMID:37557950 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2023.07.024

Epinephrine autoinjectors
The debate on who should be prescribed epinephrine and how many autoinjector devices should be carried by individuals with food allergy is ongoing and remains controversial, with some areas of the westernized world recommending at least a 2-pack (United States) and other areas (United Kingdom, Australia) having specific criteria and recommendations for epinephrine prescription, with single devices also available.
