The 100 Top-cited Articles in Main Allergy Journals: A Bibliometric Analysis.
The objective of this study was to identify the characteristics of the top 100 cited studies in main allergy journals. The 100 top-cited studies in allergy journals from the Web of Science were enrolled. The key characteristics included citation, year, authors, country, institution and journal were analyzed. The number of citations of the 100 top-cited studies ranged from 409 to 2313. They were published between 1972 and 2014. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology published the largest number of top-cited studies (n=74), followed by Allergy (n=13) and Clinical and Experimental Allergy (n=9). The greatest number of stu...

High anxiety and health-related quality-of-life in families with children with food allergy during COVID-19.
CONCLUSION: Mothers with food allergic children reported high anxiety and poor HRQL. Yet, qualitatively, day-to-day food allergy management was better during the pandemic. PMID: 32950685 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Primary Care Provider-Reported Prevalence of Vaccine and Polyethylene-Glycol Allergy in Canada
CONCLUSION: This is the first study to estimate the prevalence of vaccine and PEG allergy in a national cohort that utilizes PCP documentation, demonstrating a low reported rate of vaccine allergy and PEG allergy.PMID:34004274 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2021.05.011

Social and financial impacts of food allergy on economically-disadvantaged and -advantaged families: A qualitative interview study
CONCLUSION: Despite some qualitative similarities in the social and financial burdens of food allergy, there are some notable differences between economic groups, which underscore the need for further discussions surrounding related policy.PMID:33894341 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2021.04.020

Use of a penicillin allergy clinical decision rule to enable direct oral penicillin provocation: an international multicentre randomised control trial in an adult population (PALACE): study protocol
Introduction Penicillin allergies are highly prevalent in the healthcare setting and associated with the prescription of second-line inferior antibiotics. More than 85% of all penicillin allergy labels can be removed by skin testing and 96%–99% of low-risk penicillin allergy labels can be removed by direct oral challenge. An internally and externally validated clinical assessment tool for penicillin allergy, PEN-FAST, can identify a low-risk penicillin allergy without the need for skin testing; a score of less than 3 has a negative predictive value of 96.3% (95% CI, 94.1 to 97.8) for the presence of a penicillin alle...

Epidemiology of Food Allergy
Understanding the epidemiology of food allergy is complicated by the difficulty of identifying it on a large scale. The prevalence of food allergy is higher in younger age groups and decreases with age. Allergy to peanut and egg seems to be more common in Northern Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia compared with Southern Europe, Eastern Europe and Asia, whereas shellfish and fish allergies may be more common in Asia. The rate of transient unrecognized food allergy may be high and variable recognition of food allergy may explain some of the differences seen in food allergy prevalence.

Social and financial impacts of food allergy on economically-disadvantaged and -advantaged families: A qualitative interview study
Background: Differences in qualitatively-perceived burden of food allergy based on economic disadvantage have not been previously described.Objective: To describe the perceptions of food allergy-related social and financial issues of families who have a child with food allergy, with consideration to the similarities and differences between economically-advantaged and -disadvantaged families.Methods: From March-July 2019, we interviewed parents of children being followed for food allergy at a tertiary allergy clinic in central Canada.

Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Food Challenge Is Essential In Primary Hazelnut Allergy Diagnosis
Birch allergy affects up to a third of Canadians (Lok et al J Asthma 2017). Cross reaction between birch pollen and certain tree nut allergens mainly hazelnut may contribute to false positive skin tests as well as pollen-food syndrome and mislabeling patients as having a life-threatening allergy to hazelnut. We aimed to determine the usefulness of double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) in the diagnosis of primary hazelnut allergy (HA) in our oral immunotherapy study cohort.
