Age is one of the most important factors influencing the course of anaphylaxis: moreover, the frequency of elicitors of anaphylaxis is age-associated. We analyzed 8,465 anaphylactic episodes in adult patients in three age groups with a focus on patients in the middle-age group (35 - 65 years old). Insect venom was the most frequent trigger in this age group (51.2%) followed by drugs (22.8%) and food (17.3%). Severe reactions were observed in 40.1% of middle-aged patients and occurred more frequently in this age group than in patients below 35 years (27.6%) and less frequently than in patients over 65 years (55.6%). The symptoms and comorbidity profile also changed with age, most significantly regarding the increase in rates of concomitant cardiologic diseases and (severe) cardiovascular symptoms.
年龄是影响过敏反应病程的最重要因素之一;此外,过敏反应诱发因素的频率与年龄相关。我们分析了三个年龄组成年患者的8465次过敏发作情况,重点关注中年组(35 - 65岁)患者。昆虫毒液是该年龄组最常见的触发因素(51.2%),其次是药物(22.8%)和食物(17.3%)。40.1%的中年患者出现严重反应,且该年龄组严重反应的发生率高于35岁以下患者(27.6%),低于65岁以上患者(55.6%)。症状和合并症情况也随年龄变化,最显著的是伴随心脏病和(严重)心血管症状的发生率增加。
