Despite all these, we find it valuable to thoroughly detail the rates of both drug and food allergies among all patients admitted to general surgery services within the one-year period of our study. We believe that the results of this study will serve as a guide for changing the traditional practices of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in patients labeled with allergies. Additionally, we hope that the allergenic food sub-analysis related to food allergies in our study will encourage the use of personalized dietary treatments.
