A Novel Informatics Tool to Detect Periprocedural Antibiotic Allergy Adverse Events for Near Real-time Surveillance to Support Audit and Feedback.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Standardized processes for identifying when allergic-type reactions occur and linking reactions to drug exposures are limited.

Objective

To develop an informatics tool to improve detection of antibiotic allergic-type events.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study was conducted from October 1, 2015, to September 30, 2019, with data analyzed between July 1, 2021, and January 31, 2022. The study was conducted across Veteran Affairs hospitals among patients who underwent cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures and received periprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis. The cohort was split into training and test cohorts, and cases were manually reviewed to determine presence of allergic-type reaction and its severity. V
