Abstract: . . .  idency programs. Moreover, site investigators have a research interest in allergy and asthma, and this interest might have carried over to other members of the ED staff. Thus, these results might not reflect management pat- terns among nonacademic or rural EDs. In summary, this multicenter study demonstrates that concordance with recommended guidelines for the treat- ment of food -related acute allergic reactions is very low. Severity of the allergic reaction does not appear to cause a significant increase in the use of epinephrine in the ED or epinephrine . . .

Repeat visits by individual subjects were excluded. Visits during a 1- year period starting on or after January 1, 1999 were identified by ICD-9 code. The following codes were used for inclusion in the cur- rent study: 693.1 (dermatitis due to food ), 995.60 (allergy due to unspecified food ), and 995.61 to 995.69 (allergy due to . . .
