Accurately describing drug allergies and adverse drug reactions: The Australian Delphi Consensus on Drug Allergy Terminology

Consensus definitions for a broad range of commonly used drug allergy terms were established. This work addresses the urgent need for consistent drug allergy terminology to enhance the accuracy of recording of drug allergy in medical records, which is important for optimal patient care. This study provides the framework for future updates to ensure that the terminology evolves to meet the needs of diverse international health care settings, particularly as technology and health care continue to advance.
