| Abstract |
Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. There are numerous potential causes, with food allergy being the leading cause in children and the focus of this review. Most reactions involve an IgE-mediated mechanism, although non-IgE-mediated and nonimmunologic reactions can occur. Various cofactors to be discussed can place certain individuals at an increased risk of severe or fatal anaphylaxis. The clinical manifestations of anaphylaxis are broad and may involve multiple body systems. Diagnosis of food-related anaphylaxis is primarily based on signs and symptoms and supported, wherever possible, by identification and confirmation of a culprit food allergen. First-line treatment of anaphylaxis is intramuscular administration of epinephrine. Long-term management is generally focused on strict allergen avoidance and more recently on food desensitization using immunotherapy. This review provides an overview of anaphylaxis with a specific focus on food allergy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 28. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 May 2019.
All research outputs
#1,253,980
of 23,646,998 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Asthma and Allergy
#26
of 480 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,838
of 331,270 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Asthma and Allergy
#3
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,646,998 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 480 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,270 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
