A peer-reviewed research article from Europe PMC (2023). IntroductionApproximately 10% of individuals report a suspected allergy to penicillin, but according to allergy work-ups, only 10%–15% of them are truly allergic. A clinical decision score, the PEN-FAST, was developed and validated to identify adults with low-risk penicillin allergy.ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to improve the performance of the PEN-FAST score, particularly for those with delayed hypersensitivity (HS), by improving the negative predictive value.MethodsSTEP 1: Retrospective evaluation of the PEN-FAST score in patients with proven immediate and delayed penicillin allergy.
