Consensus on the principles of long-term anaphylaxis management in rank order

Principles %
Clear, written guidelines on anaphylaxis management, including referral pathways, should be in place in all healthcare, work and school settings 96
Plans should be reviewed if a severe allergic reaction occurs 96
Oral antihistamines, inhalers and/or injectable adrenaline (e.g. Epipen), if prescribed, should be accompanied by information on their use 91
Anaphylaxis management plans should be reviewed annually including reassessment of patient/parent knowledge of anaphylaxis management and emergency treatment 87
Quality Outcome Framework (QOF) targets for anaphylaxis reviews in primary care would improve standards of care 86
Plans should be reviewed when a child starts nursery or a new school 83
Anaphylaxis management plans should be personalized to the patient's circumstances and tailored to age 82
Anaphylaxis management plans should focus on emergency care. Long-term management plans should be addressed in a separate document 80
