Drugs used by emergency physicians for initial treatment of anaphylaxis.

<p>Firsthand report (EPs) vs. self report (anaphylaxis registry). Parenteral application routes only. * Weighted for age, cause and severity distribution in anaphylaxis registry, Berlin catchment area.</p

Drugs used for emergency treatment of anaphylaxis, by cause.

<p>Only assured cases. All application routes, error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals.</p

Patient instruction and specific immunotherapy after severe anaphylaxis, stratified by general characteristics and reaction circumstances.

Drugs used for emergency treatment of anaphylaxis, by age.

<p>Dashed lines indicate proportion of patients having received inhalation (adrenaline) or oral (antihistamine, corticoid) treatment only, error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals.</p

Smooth function and pointwise 95% confidence bands (dashed lines) for the effect of baseline tryptase concentration on the risk to need an emergency intervention during sting challenge or to develop generalized symptoms after a field sting (final multivariate generalized additive model).

<p>Odds ratios are referred to those of the median of tryptase concentration. The odds ratio of the latter has been set at 1.</p

Distribution of therapy failures during the maintenance phase of VIT with respect to baseline parameters.

<p>Associations are shown between clinical, demographic and therapeutic parameters and the need for an emergency intervention during an in-hospital sting challenge or, after a field sting by the culprit insect, the development of any type of generalized symptom.</p

Results of the final generalized additive model for the risk to need an emergency intervention during an in-hospital sting challenge or, after a field sting by the culprit insect, to develop any type of generalized symptom.

<p>Those variables are shown, which were selected according to the modeling procedure. P-values and widths of confidence intervals are biased downwards due to the effect of subset selection.</p
