Anaphylaxis severity grade, during oral food challenges, assessed by five different classifications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While the definition of anaphylaxis is clear, its grade of severity remains a subject of debate. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible discrepancies in the severity scoring system for anaphylaxis in patients with a positive food challenge (OFC), differentiating anaphylactic and non-anaphylactic reactions, using the WHO for the 11th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as the main reference.
