Patient identification
Patients were initially identified from a database in the Allergy
Department at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead (CHW), New South Wales
(NSW), Australia 9, consisting of children with FPIES
aged between 1 months and 6 years at the time of diagnosis, presenting
for management between 1997 and 2017. Patients were screened for
inclusion based upon modified criteria from international consensus
guidelines outlined by Nowak et al. 1 (Table 1),
limited to those meeting the major and 3 or more minor criteria.
