About this trial
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a collaborative nurse-allergist approach in penicillin allergy delabeling services. It also seeks to assess the impact on patients' quality of life and compare resource utilization and cost-effectiveness between the nurse-allergist collaborative approach and the traditional allergist-led approach.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Receiving inpatient or outpatient treatment at a participating hospital during the study period;
Possessing a documented penicillin allergy label;
Underwent penicillin allergy evaluation by the nurse-allergist collaborative approach or the traditional allergist-led approach
Demographic and clinical data required for the study available.
Disqualifiers
Patients unable to provide a complete medication history or history of penicillin allergy;
Patients with only emergency or short-term treatment records;
Patients who have taken steroids, antihistamines, or similar medications within the last 3 days.
Trial population
Patients treated at a participating hospital who have a documented penicillin allergy label, are evaluated for penicillin allergy through either the nurse-allergist or allergist-led approach, and have available demographic and clinical data.
Trial design
Case-only
Retrospective
Treatments tested in this trial
Nurse-led penicillin allergy delabelling service
Diagnostic testPatients in this group undergo risk assessment and categorization by nurses to identify low-risk individuals for delabeling. For these patients, nurses will collaborate with allergists in the delabeling process.
Allergist-led penicillin allergy delabelling service
Diagnostic testPatients assigned to this group will undergo risk assessment and delabeling led by allergists for both low-risk and high-risk cases.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Delabelling Success Rate
Assess the proportion of low-risk patients who are no longer considered allergic to penicillin after delabeling.
Secondary outcomes
Health-Related Quality of Life
Measure changes in patients' quality of life before and after delabeling using the validated Drug Hypersensitivity Quality of Life Questionnaire (DrHy-Q). The DrHy-Q is a 15-item instrument answered on a 5-point Likert scale, with scores ranging from 15 (no QoL impairment) to 225 (worst QoL impairment).
Antibiotic Usage Rate
Evaluate changes in the usage rates of penicillin and alternative antibiotics after delabeling.
Age Group Analysis
Compare delabeling success rates across different age groups (e.g., 18-30 years, 31-50 years, and 51 years and older).
Immunocompetence Status
Analyze differences in delabeling success rates and safety between immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients.
