Article Synopsis
- General pediatric providers often feel unprepared to discuss new guidelines for early peanut introduction due to rapidly changing recommendations.
- A clinical decision support (CDS) tool was developed, tested, and implemented to enhance conversations about peanut introduction during well-child checkups (WCCs).
- After using the CDS tool, pediatric providers showed a significant increase in awareness and comfort regarding peanut guidelines, leading to a substantial rise in discussions and plans for peanut introduction among families during WCCs.
Background: Peanut allergy has recently become more prevalent. Peanut introduction recommendations have evolved from suggesting peanut avoidance until the age of 3 years to more recent guidelines encouraging early peanut introduction after the Learning Early about Peanut Allergy (LEAP) study in 2015. Guideline adherence is poor, leading to missed care opportunities.

Previously, we have shown that individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a rare disorder, exhibit unique retinal vascular changes as seen using fluorescein angiography (FA) and that these changes correlate with PAH severity. This study aimed to determine if color fundus (CF) imaging could garner identical retinal information as previously seen using FA images in individuals with PAH.
