Summary

Food Allergy (FA) is one of the most expensive allergic disorders in the pediatric age, and affecting up to 10% of children worldwide, it is recognized as a global health problem. The Oral Food Challenge (OFC) is the gold standard for FA diagnosis, but it is time-consuming, expensive, and potentially dangerous, as it can determine severe anaphylaxis. In addition, causing long-lasting impact on patient anxiety and mental health due to the physical duress and health risks involved with its application, OFC strategy is little applied in clinical practice with consequent diagnostic errors and delays. The goal of the Naples Pediatric Food Allergy (NAPFA) score is to develop a new clinical score including the main anamnestic, and clinical features for the easy identification of pediatric FA in primary care setting.
