dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Although drug allergy workup for pediatric patients (skin and drug provocation tests [DPT]) is performed, the procedures are troublesome, painful, and time-consuming. The aim of this study was to assess parents' perception of and satisfaction with their child's drug allergy workup. Further, to evaluate parents' tendency to use the tested drug following a negative DPT and the consequences of re-exposure. Methods: Parents of children that underwent drug allergy workup from January 2017 to August 2020 in the Pediatric Allergy Department of Trakya University Medical Faculty were included. Satisfaction levels were assessed via a telephone questionnaire (3 open-ended, 7 multiple-choice questions). Satisfaction was scored on a Likert scale (1: very unsatisfied and 5: very satisfied). Results: A total of 102 parents participated the study. Fifty-two (51%) of patients were male, and median age was 6.2 years and a median time interval between admission and test appointment of 1 month; 16.7% had a positive drug allergy workup, with 88.3% reporting being satisfied (56.9%) or very satisfied (31.4%) with the workup. Satisfaction levels were inversely related to the time between admission and test appointment (rho: -0.254, p = 0.01), with 8.2% reporting they did not use the tested drug when necessary despite a negative result. The tested drug was used by 35 individuals (41.1%), 33 (94.2%) tolerating without reaction. Conclusion: Most parents were satisfied with the workup, but levels were inversely related to the admission and procedure time interval. Drug allergy workup should be performed as soon as possible to relieve parents' anxiety and achieve more patient satisfaction.en_US
