Risk Factors

Common risk factors in the development of anaphylaxis include age, sex, geography, history of asthma, atopic history, and interruption of medication.

Common Risk Factors

• Common risk factors in the development of anaphylaxis include:
  • Age, with more incidence in boys younger than 15 and women older than 15 years old.
  • Sex, with more incidence in women exposed to latex and aspirin; men have more incidence with venom stings.
  • Geography, the incidence of anaphylaxis is higher in Northern areas.
  • History of asthma places patients at higher risk to develop anaphylaxis.
  • History of atopy increases the risk of anaphylaxis.
  • Interruption of medications after desensitization can increase the risk of anaphylaxis.

Less Common Risk Factors

• Less common risk factors in the development of anaphylaxis include:
  • Comorbid ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy or coronary arterial disease
  • Antihypertensive medication use
  • Tricyclic antidepressant medication use
  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitor medication use
