About this study

Official title: Incidence of Perioperative Hypersensitivity Reactions to Propofol in Children Allergic to Egg and/or Soy

The investigators would only include the children who received propofol (Propolipid, Fresenius Kabi, Schelle, Belgium) for sedation, the investigators would exclude the children that didn't receive propofol during the procedure.

The investigators would analyze the incidence of hypersensitivity reaction to propofol in children allergic to egg, soy or both egg and soy and to compare those with the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions in children without allergy to egg and/or to soy. Those data were retrieved following longitudinal follow-up after the intervention. Allergy tests by skin and radioallergosorbent tests were performed in all children before the gastrointestinal endoscopy under anesthesia took place, but no results were known at the time of the sedation. A patient was defined as allergic to egg and/or soy if the patient had specific S-IgE level more than the normal level set by our institution (0.35 kU/L).

The investigators would also investigate the influence of other obtained parameters in the dataset (age, ASA score, weight category, type of investigation, respiratory and neurological comorbidities, respiratory infections, GERD, other allergies) on those results with multivariate analysis.

We considered that clinical features suggesting a hypersensitivity reaction present during anaesthesia were cutaneous, respiratory or cardiovascular manifestations. Depending on the severity of the reaction, necessitating prompt hemodynamic resuscitation with the administration of epinephrine, antihistamines, inhaled beta-agonists or corticosteroids.

    Measured: minutes, during surgery

  8. Influence of a respiratory comorbitidity on hypersensitivity reaction

    See if there is a link or influence of respiratory comorbidity on hypersensitivity reaction.

    Measured: minutes, during surgery

  9. Influence of a neurological comorbidity on hypersensitivity reaction

    See if there is a link or influence of a neurological comorbidity on hypersensitivity reaction

    Measured: minutes, during surgery

  10. Influence of reason for investigation on hypersensitivity reaction

    See if there is a link or influence of the reason for investigation on hypersensitivity reaction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypersensitivity and Allergy, Egg, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with a hypersensitivity reaction (time frame: minutes, during surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 May 2023.
