Our findings indicate that TAA, especially in the perioperative setting, is underdiagnosed. The increased incidence of TAA in our study is temporally related to the introduction of a national hemovigilance program, introduction of standardized laboratory testing for anaphylaxis and increased multidisciplinary focus on the condition. In conclusion, increased awareness of TAA, and especially in the perioperative setting, is needed. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to improve identification and reporting of TAA.
