Development of a Knowledge-sharing Website for Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Exposures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Identification of potential inciting antigens known to be associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is integral to achieving a confident diagnosis, its management, and prognostication. A barrier to achieving diagnostic confidence is that evidence for exposure assessment is not presented in an easily accessible or useful format.

Objective

To develop a freely available comprehensive living repository of contemporaneous exposures associated with HP.

Methods

Electronic searches were performed through Medline, Embase, and Web of Science from January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2019, using the following broad MeSH headings: ([allerg* or hypersensitiv*], and adj [alveol* or pneumo*]).mp. Articles were included if they described adults or childre
