Participants UK population as a whole and devolved nations (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). Main outcome measures Time trends, age, and sex distributions for hospital admissions for anaphylaxis due to food and non-food triggers, and how these admission rates compare with the case fatality rate (number of fatalities as a proportion of hospital admissions). Results Between 1998 and 2018, 101 891 people were admitted to hospital for anaphylaxis. Of these admissions, 30 700 (30.1%) were coded as due to a food trigger. Food anaphylaxis admissions increased from 1.23 to 4.04 per 100 000 population per year (from 1998 to 2018), an annual increase of 5.7% (95% confidence interval 5.5% to 5.9%, P Conclusions Hospital admissions for food induced anaphylaxis have increased from 1998 to 2018, however the case fatality rate has decreased.
