BackgroundThe lifetime prevalence of anaphylaxis from all triggers is estimated to range from 0.05 % to 2.6 %. Data on anaphylaxis in the Latin American region and Colombia are scant. ObjectiveEstimate the prevalence, incidence and mortality for anaphylaxis in Colombia. MethodsRecords with diagnosis of anaphylaxis (ICD-10 code T78.0-T78.2) of Information System of Social Protection (SISPRO) between 2010 and 2015 were included. To determine the prevalence, incidence and mortality for anaphylaxis, population estimates from the National Statistics Department of Colombia (DANE) were used. ResultsThe average estimated annual prevalence of anaphylaxis were 25.1 cases per million. The average estimated annual incidence of anaphylaxis were 3.2 cases per million. Most cases range between 45 and 49 years age. On average 8.4 cases of anaphylaxis deaths per year were estimated. The average estimated annual mortality of anaphylaxis were 0.16 cases per million. ConclusionsBoth under-diagnosis and under-report of anaphylaxis are common in the world. Population studies in Colombia, with diagnoses of based primarily on clinical history and clinical criteria for accurate and early identification of anaphylaxis recently established are required.
