Abstract
Although established frameworks and guidelines are available to help transition pediatric patients successfully to adult care, patients receiving food allergy immunotherapy have a unique set of needs, and challenges that must be considered. We highlight these considerations for a research-based tertiary care center immunotherapy program. A proposed framework for an interdisciplinary food allergy immunotherapy team that includes not only pediatric allergists and nursing but also adult allergists, dietitians, researchers, and mental health team members working synergistically to address the needs of adolescents and young adults undergoing food allergy immunotherapy as they transition to adult care is presented. Collaborative frameworks such as the one proposed herein present a holistic strategy to transition pediatric patients undergoing food allergy immunotherapy to adult care. Future research activities within this framework will contribute invaluable insights into the broader landscape of food allergy management across the lifespan.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
