Thus, patients are told to avoid the allergenic food in all potentially allergic forms and amounts. However, research over the past 2 decades has shown that many patients will tolerate small amounts of the allergen without any allergic reaction. Thus, if one were able to identify the threshold of reactivity, this could change management. At the population level, establishing levels at which the vast majority of patients (e.g., 95%) do not react could have public health ramifications, such as altering labeling laws. At the individual patient level, personal threshold levels could determine avoidance strategies, affect quality of life, and alter treatment decisions, e.g., oral immunotherapy starting doses.

This review provides an overview of the evolution of food allergy prevention, highlighting changes in guidance, cost-effectiveness of prevention, the role of shared decision-making, and the emergence of oral immunotherapy for those in whom primary prevention fails. Changes to food allergy prevention over recent decades can be conceptualized into five epochs, which have followed a general trend of loosening restrictions on the allergen introduction timeline. These epochs are characterized by significant maternal and infant dietary restrictions in the \"universal avoidance epoch\"(-1990), loosened maternal diet restrictions in the \"infant avoidance epoch\" (1990-2000), a time-bound allergen introduction schedule in the \"stratified avoidance epoch\" (2000-2010), retraction of recommendations in the \"corrective retraction epoch\" (2010-2015), and endorsement of early allergen introduction in the \"early introduction epoch\" (2015-present), the start of which is marked by the 2015 Learning Early About Peanut study. In hindsight, it is clear that certain recommendations from previous decades were not the best course of action. A no-screening early introduction approach to food allergy prevention is both cost-effective and beneficial to patient quality of life.</p>","PeriodicalId":73751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of food allergy","volume":"6 1","pages":"3-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11382770/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With more than a dozen anaphylaxis definitions proposed over the past several decades and several diagnostic criteria in circulation, there is a need for a multinational consensus definition to simplify management across specialties. Anaphylaxis diagnostic criteria are more alike than they are different, and approaches of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, World Allergy Organization, and Brighton Collaborative help to add granularity and perspective to patient management. Anaphylaxis occurs across a spectrum of severity within populations, although, among individual patients, there is some evidence to suggest more consistency for an individual allergen. Still, severity is influenced by a number of factors that demonstrate variability: factors that relate to allergen triggers, patient characteristics, and treatments received. Severity of anaphylaxis impacts management, and recent guidelines provide approaches that consider individual factors to inform both strong and conditional recommendations. Conditional recommendations serve as navigational signals for shared decision-making when patient expertise is leveraged to inform individual preferences and values together with clinician expertise in anaphylaxis management to provide patient care bespoke to each patient. As novel approaches to both prevention and treatment of anaphylaxis emerge, an understanding of the significance of strong and conditional recommendations becomes critical to providing individualized and appropriate care for patients at risk for anaphylaxis.</p>","PeriodicalId":73751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of food allergy","volume":"6 1","pages":"26-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11382771/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
