An observational study in Drug Hypersensitivity, sponsored by University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen. Completed at 1 site in Denmark. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-05-26.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen · Observational
The aim of this study is to investigate the degree of match between the drug allergy label in the hospital's electronic health record and primary care's electronic health record among patients who previously have been drug allergy tested.
Patients who previously have been penicillin allergy tested in 2017 to 2019 at the Allergy Clinic at Gentofte Hospital is included in the study. Patients are identified through a drug allergy database at the department.
A letter describing the study and the data collection process will be sent to the patients' General Practice offices (GP).
Data collection: The patients GP's are contacted by telephone where the information about the drug allergy labels in their electronical medical charts are shared. On the same day as the phone contact to the GP's office, the patient's electronical health record in the hospital system is accessed in order to gain information about the current drug allergy registrations.
Predictors for the explanatory analysis is collected partly through the phone call to the GP (such as numbers of patients and physicians at each GP and the electronic health system used), from the hospital electronic health record (such as number of hospital admissions since drug allergy testing) and from the drug allergy database.
1,916 studies on the registry are indexed under Hypersensitivity; 265 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 849 is above the median of 115 across 479 observational studies indexed under Hypersensitivity.

Analysis of predictors for failure to update drug allergy labels
Exploratory analysis of predictors for failure to update the drug allergy labels. Predictors include sex, age, immediate/delayed index allergic reaction, drug allergy test results, patients pr GP, doctors pr GP, electronic system used, drug allergy test referrals from the same GP, drug allergy labels pr patient and admissions since drug allergy testing pr patient.
