Food‐induced anaphylaxis morbidity: Emergency department and hospitalization data support preventive strategies

Anaphylaxis is a recognized public health issue. There is no doubt that food‐induced anaphylaxis (FIA) has tremendous impact on the quality of life of patients and their families and increases direct and indirect costs. FIA is associated with increasing rates of emergency department admissions and hospitalizations and implies the risk of death. Morbidity epidemiological data are a key to tailor public health actions to this non‐communicable disease. The aim of this article was to review published morbidity epidemiological data relating to FIA and potential risk factors, in order to provide evidence‐based recommendations to reduce the risk of severe adverse outcomes.
