BACKGROUND: Rates of food-induced @entity2021 among @entity1 remain uncertain. In addition, little is known about the demographics of @entity1 who have experienced food-induced @entity2021 resulting in @entity341 ( @entity341 ) visits and/or subsequent hospitalizations. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate trends in @entity341 visits and hospital admissions due to food-induced @entity2021 among Illinois @entity1 and to identify socioeconomic variation in trend distribution. METHODS: Illinois hospital discharge data compiled by the Illinois Hospital Association were used to identify @entity341 visits or hospitalizations for food-induced @entity2021 in Illinois hospitals from 2008-2012. Data for @entity1 aged 0 to 19 years who were Illinois residents and received a diagnosis of food-induced @entity2021 based on International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes (995.60 through 995.69) were included for analysis. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in the rate of @entity341 visits and hospital admissions due to food-induced @entity2021 among @entity1 in Illinois during the 5-year period, with an annual percent increase of 29.1% from 6.3 @entity341 visits and hospital admissions per 100,000 @entity1 in 2008 to 17.2 in 2012 (P < .001). Increases in visit frequency were observed for all study variables, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, insurance type, metropolitan status, hospital type, and allergenic food. Visits were most frequent each year for Asian @entity1 and @entity1 with private insurance. However, the annual percent increase in visits was most pronounced among Hispanic @entity1 (44.3%, P < .001) and @entity1 with public insurance (30.2%, P < .001). CONCLUSION: @entity341 visits and hospital admissions for food-induced @entity2021 have increased during a 5-year period among @entity1 in Illinois, regardless of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status.
