Brief summary
The purpose of this patient registry is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of food oral immunotherapy in food allergic patients. Factors that lead to adverse reactions will be identified. The frequency of rescue epinephrine use will be recorded.
Detailed description
Each participating US clinic is assigned a site number and patients starting food oral immunotherapy will be given a four digit number starting at 0001 within each site. All data will be collected and reported electronically at each clinical site.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| efficacy of food allergy treatment | 3 years | the percentage of patients who successfully reach the maintenance dose of food |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| epinephrine use | 3 years | The frequency of epinephrine use during the course of oral immunotherapy as reported in the prospective database. Also, identify factors that are associated with the need for epinephrine. |
| factors associated with the failure to reach the target dose of food ingestion | 3 years | Identify factors that are associated with treatment failures through analysis of patient demographics, baseline laboratory test results, and concomitant atopic conditions. |
