- Recommendation ID
- CG134/2
- Question
- The frequency and effects of biphasic reactions:- What are the frequency, timing, severity and predictors of biphasic reactions in people who have received emergency treatment for anaphylaxis?
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) - Why this is important:- Limited evidence was found on the frequency, timing severity and predictors of biphasic reactions and the resulting effect of these on morbidity and mortality.
It is recommended that a UK-based prospective cohort study be conducted that follows patients up after emergency treatment for anaphylaxis. The study should follow people up for 7 days after discharge from the emergency department. The aim is to collect data on the predictors (for example, the person's response to the initial
treatment), the time to any reaction, the severity of any biphasic reaction and the effect of the biphasic reaction on morbidity and mortality.
