Dataset Information

Characterizing drug allergy management among allergists in Canada: a national survey study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Unverified drug allergy labels are common and associated with significant patient harm, yet infrastructure and testing practices vary across clinical settings in Canada.

Objective

To characterize variability in drug allergy management among allergists in Canada and identify setting-specific barriers to drug allergy testing and desensitization.

Methods

We developed a peer-reviewed 40-item survey, distributed via the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, to assess practice patterns, testing modalities, and perceived barriers among allergists. Descriptive statistics and Fisher's exact test were used to evaluate responses by practice setting.
