We suspected that some of the deaths due to other allergic processes or asthma might have been actually due to anaphylaxis. Thus we used a published algorithm to identify other cases of possible anaphylaxis in the mortality database. This increased the overall rate from 69 deaths per 10 million to 86 per 10 million.
