Barriers and enablers to penicillin allergy assessment and testing in the intensive care unit: A mixed-methods study
Variation in ICU-led PenA assessment appears to reflect organisational and behavioural influences rather than intrinsic clinical barriers. Differences between settings were associated with governance structures, leadership, education, and social reinforcement. Addressing these determinants may support more consistent integration of PenA assessment into routine ICU practice.
