Article Abstract
Background: The 2006 National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease/Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network anaphylaxis criteria are widely used in clinical care and research. In 2020, the World Allergy Organization published modified criteria that have not been uniformly adopted. Different criteria contribute to inconsistent care and research outcomes.
Objective: We sought to develop a consensus anaphylaxis definition, overview, and clinical support tool.
Methods: A 12-member writing group developed draft outputs modified with input from a 46-member international expert panel, 31 medical stakeholder organizations, and 15 patient advocacy organizations. The expert panel participated in a modified Delphi process to seek consensus for the outputs using a ≥80% consensus threshold.
Results: The first sentence of the definition reads, "Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic (hypersensitivity) reaction that can progress rapidly and may cause death." The definition also describes organ systems that may be involved and signs of life-threatening reactions. The overview includes details of anaphylaxis recognition and management. The clinical support tool incorporates new clinical criteria to help determine the likelihood that patients are having anaphylaxis, intramuscular epinephrine indications and dosing, and common findings from the anaphylaxis organ systems. In addition, 93.5% (43/46), 97.8% (45/46), and 93.5% (43/46) of experts agreed with the definition, overview, and clinical support tool, respectively.
Conclusion: The anaphylaxis overview is a novel educational tool conveying key elements of anaphylaxis recognition and management. We propose that the definition and clinical support tool should replace previous definitions and clinical criteria. The clinical support tool should facilitate improved anaphylaxis recognition and management across different clinical settings and standardize research outcomes.

University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
Self-efficacy and anatomical knowledge have been shown to be important in the development of medical students. Validated instruments designed to measure the construct of anatomical self-efficacy during the clinical years of medical school are limited. In this study, the Anatomical Self-Efficacy Instrument for Clinical Clerkships (ASEI-CC) was developed, and evidence for the reliability of the scores and the validity of the interpretations of the scores was gathered.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the provision of sexual and reproductive health services, including contraceptive and family planning (FP) services. The World Health Organization conducted a multi-country study in India, Nigeria and Tanzania to assess the impact of the pandemic on the health system's capacity to provide contraceptive and FP services. In this paper, we share the results of a qualitative study aimed at understanding clients' perspectives at the primary healthcare level on accessing contraceptive services in COVID-19-affected areas in the three aforementioned countries.

Purpose: Despite its importance, little is known about the patterns and predictors of Survivorship Clinic attendance in head and neck cancer (HNC). We sought to determine the cumulative incidence of Survivorship Clinic attendance stratified by demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic factors, and to identify factors independently associated with attendance.
Methods: Our analysis population consisted of 2,252 patients diagnosed with primary HNC and seen at our institution's HNC Survivorship Clinic after completing treatment from 2016-2021.

While frailty and anemia are prevalent conditions in aging linked to adverse outcomes, their relationship remains understudied in generally healthy older adults. We conducted a post-hoc observational study among all participants of DO-HEALTH, the largest European clinical trial designed to support healthy aging. Our analysis examined whether baseline hemoglobin levels and anemia are associated with being at least pre-frail at baseline and any yearly follow-up time point over three years.
