Incidence and trends of anaphylaxis among inpatients from 2003 to 2023 in Wuhan, China: A multicenter retrospective study
Background
The incidence of a disease can help health professionals to identify risk factors and health-care policymakers to develop corresponding policies. The realization of both purposes depends on comprehensive studies, especially studies done on a large scale. However, comprehensive studies on the incidence of anaphylaxis among inpatients in China are still notably scarce. Hence we aim to explore the incidence and clinical characteristics of anaphylaxis among inpatients over a span of 21 years in Wuhan, China.
Methods
We retrieved data on anaphylaxis cases from the Data Platform Application Portal (DPAP) across 3 medical centers of Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, China from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2023.
Results
The data encompassed a total of 362 anaphylaxis patients from 2,139,272 inpatients. Among them 204 (56.4%) were male, and the median age was 45 years old. Over the past 2 decades, the incidence rate of anaphylaxis at Tongji Hospital was 16.92 per 100,000 individuals. After adjusting for gender and age, the annual standardized incidence rate was 234.53 per 100,000 individuals. The incidence rate of anaphylaxis among the inpatients revealed a relatively stable but slowly rising trend over the 21-year observation period. As for the triggers of anaphylaxis, drugs were responsible for 73.6% of triggers, with antibiotics representing the highest proportion of these cases (38.4%). Drug triggers also showed age-specific features: chemotherapy (17.9%) had the highest proportions among children aged 0–3 years; blood products were more prevalent in school-age children. 13.5% of the cases had an unknown cause. In anaphylaxis cases, despite that only 36.0% received epinephrine treatment, the application of epinephrine still showed an ascending trend. Moreover, the mortality rate for anaphylaxis was relatively low (1.6%), displaying a consistent downward trend.
Conclusion
Our study provides insights into the incidence of anaphylaxis among inpatients in Wuhan over a 21-year period. Drugs are the most common triggers for anaphylaxis, and the use of epinephrine in anaphylaxis management is far from optimal.
期刊介绍:
The official pubication of the World Allergy Organization, the World Allergy Organization Journal (WAOjournal) publishes original mechanistic, translational, and clinical research on the topics of allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and clincial immunology, as well as reviews, guidelines, and position papers that contribute to the improvement of patient care. WAOjournal publishes research on the growth of allergy prevalence within the scope of single countries, country comparisons, and practical global issues and regulations, or threats to the allergy specialty. The Journal invites the submissions of all authors interested in publishing on current global problems in allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and immunology. Of particular interest are the immunological consequences of climate change and the subsequent systematic transformations in food habits and their consequences for the allergy/immunology discipline.
