While its objective was to determine the incidence of anaphylaxis in an asthma cohort, it also provides the incidence of anaphylaxis in the nonasthmatic referent cohort of more than 500,000 people

It is the only study to determine the relative risk of death from anaphylaxis by age and location. It also documents that anaphylactic deaths occur preferentially during certain months

The use of the algorithm more than doubles the number of cases identified
