Racial Differences in Food Allergy Phenotype and Health Care Utilization among US Children
Conclusions FA phenotypes and health care utilization differ among children of different racial and/or ethnic backgrounds in the United States that put AA and Hispanic children at higher risks of adverse outcome than white children. These differences include coexistent atopic conditions, less well recognized food allergens, and higher rates of anaphylaxis.

Non-adherence to subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy: inadequate health insurance coverage is the leading cause.
CONCLUSION: Of the various factors, inadequate reimbursement for allergen extract and allergy injections by health insurers is the most common reason cited for non-adherence to subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy.

The Economic Implications of Penicillin Allergy
The incidence of penicillin allergy has been widely exaggerated; while up to 10% of patients report penicillin allergies to their physicians, over 90% of these individuals can in fact tolerate penicillins when challenged.1 Despite this reality, many physicians are reluctant to refer patients with self-reported penicillin allergy for testing, often out of concern for the cost-effectiveness of allergy testing relative to simple avoidance. Similarly, many allergists do not offer allergy testing to penicillin because of the high cost of testing materials, and low reimbursement from insurance companies.

Regional differences in vitamin D levels and incidence of food-induced anaphylaxis in South Korea.
CONCLUSION: The present study found a higher incidence of FIA in regions with lower vitamin D levels in the population. Further investigation is necessary to identify any direct associations between vitamin D and food allergy/anaphylaxis.

Current Management of Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis: A Survey of Allergists, Pediatric Allergists and Dermatologists in Korea.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest there are distinct differences in moderate-to-severe AD treatment according to physicians' specialties. Medical policy changes along with governmental supports are required in order to implement the ideal approach in real practice. For moderate-to-severe AD, a consensus on the approach to optimal management should be reached for the best outcomes, based on further randomized controlled trials.

Short-acting β-agonist use and its ability to predict future asthma-related outcomes.
CONCLUSION: The study identified critical values of SABA use that predict future asthma events. Each additional SABA canister predicted increases in exacerbation risk in children and adults.

Neonatal jaundice is a risk factor for childhood allergic rhinitis: A retrospective cohort study.
CONCLUSION: Neonatal jaundice increased the rate and complications of childhood AR in subjects aged up to 10 years and may be a risk factor for childhood AR.

Longitudinal study of 954 patients with stinging insect anaphylaxis.
CONCLUSION: Although two-thirds of patients filled a prescription for an epinephrine autoinjector after an ED visit or hospitalization for SIA, only 14% of patients received follow-up care by an allergist/immunologist. This missed opportunity to provide venom immunotherapy, an essentially curative therapy, unnecessarily places patients at risk for recurrent anaphylaxis.

Age dependent sex disproportion in US asthma hospitalization rates, 2000-2010.
CONCLUSION: There is a striking propensity of women in their fifth to sixth decades of life to be admitted for asthma, which appears to be independent of many known comorbidities.

Young, African American adults with asthma: what matters to them?
CONCLUSION: Young African American adults have specific barriers to optimal asthma care and distinctive ideas for self-management programs. It is important for the asthma care provider to identify and address these population- and age-specific barriers to improve asthma outcomes and decrease health care disparities.

Consequences of antibiotics and infections in infancy: bugs, drugs, and wheezing.
CONCLUSION: Antibiotic use in the first year life is associated with an increased risk of early-onset childhood asthma that began before 3 years of age. The apparent effect has a clear dose response. Heightened caution about avoiding unnecessary use of antibiotics in infants is warranted.

Regional and socioeconomic disparities in emergency department use of radiographic imaging for acute pediatric sinusitis.
CONCLUSION: The use of ED imaging in APS is appropriately associated with factors known to be associated with APS complications. However, additional disparities with respect to regional and socioeconomic factors exist. Interventions to eliminate these health care disparities in use of imaging resources may lead to quality improvement in care and outcomes for APS.

Patient perceptions of asthma-related financial burden: public vs private health insurance in the United States.
CONCLUSION: African American women who perceive asthma as a financial burden regardless of health insurance report more urgent health care visits and lower quality of life. Burden may be present despite having and being able to generate economic resources and health insurance. Further policy efforts are indicated and special attention should focus on type of coverage.
