Objective.
To analyze the clinical characteristics of inpatients with anaphylaxis and the factors that influenced those characteristics.
Methods.
Using the patient records from 1990 to 2013 from three highly ranked Chinese hospitals, we retrospectively analyzed the characteristics of 108 inpatients with anaphylaxis (not anaphylaxis admitted).
Results.
The mean patient age was 42±20 years old and male-to-female ratio was 1 : 1.3.
The number of patients with anaphylaxis increased gradually, and cases diagnosed after 2005 accounted for 68.5% of the 108 total cases.
The most common trigger was medications.
The most common clinical manifestations included cutaneous, nervous, respiratory, circulatory, and digestive signs and symptoms.
Male patients were more likely to experience loss of consciousness.
Multisystem involvement was more likely to develop in patients with low BP, whereas it was uncommon in those with anaphylaxis induced by antibiotics or anesthetics.
Epinephrine was used as the first-line treatment for 56 cases.
Conclusions.
Inpatient with anaphylaxis was more common in female patients and the number increased gradually during the study period.
The most common trigger was medications.
Patients with low BP were prone to having multisystem involvement, whereas the cases of anaphylaxis induced by antibiotics and anesthetics were less likely to involve multiple organ systems.
