Factors associated with epinephrine administration for anaphylaxis in children before arrival to the emergency department.
Researchers evaluated factors associated with anaphylaxis management before arrival at the emergency department (ED) or urgent care center (UCC). Reactions occurring at home were less likely to be treated with epinephrine compared with reactions occurring at school. The odds of receiving epinephrine before arrival at the ED or UCC were significantly lower with a 2-organ system or 3-organ system presentation compared with 1-organ system involvement.
