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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Design model

Case-only

Time perspective

Retrospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Nurse-led penicillin allergy delabelling service

    Diagnostic test

    Patients 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 test

    Patients assigned to this group will undergo risk assessment and delabeling led by allergists for both low-risk and high-risk cases.

Treatment groups

Group B: Allergist-led group1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Delabelling Success Rate

Assess the proportion of low-risk patients who are no longer considered allergic to penicillin after delabeling.

Time frame
6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

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).

Time frame
6 months
2

Antibiotic Usage Rate

Evaluate changes in the usage rates of penicillin and alternative antibiotics after delabeling.

Time frame
6 months
3

Age Group Analysis

Compare delabeling success rates across different age groups (e.g., 18-30 years, 31-50 years, and 51 years and older).

Time frame
6 months
4

Immunocompetence Status

Analyze differences in delabeling success rates and safety between immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients.

Time frame
6 months
