Characteristics of Patients With Hypersensitivity Reactions to Intravenous Iron Infusions

Characteristics of Patients With Hypersensitivity Reactions to Intravenous Iron Infusions - a Retrospective Study

This study aims to evaluate characteristics of patients with previous hypersensitivity reaction grades I-IV to intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (Ferinject) or to iron sucrose (Venofer) including age, atopy status, previous allergic reactions, previous medical history, current medications and co-morbidities. Furthermore, symptoms on reaction such as severity grade of reaction will be evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants from 16 years of age and older with previous hypersensitivity reaction grades I-IV to intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (Ferinject) or to iron sucrose (Venofer).

Exclusion Criteria:

• No previous hypersensitivity reaction to iron preparations or reactions to oral iron preparations.
• If a rejection to use patient data is documented in patient records, the patient will be excluded from analysis.
