    abstract = "Background: The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
(EAACI) is in the process of developing the EAACI Guidelines for
Allergen Immunotherapy (AIT) for the Management of Insect Venom Allergy.
We seek to critically assess the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and
safety of AIT in the management of insect venom allergy.
Methods: We will undertake a systematic review, which will involve
searching international biomedical databases for published, in progress
and unpublished evidence. Studies will be independently screened against
pre-defined eligibility criteria and critically appraised using
established instruments. Data will be descriptively and, if possible and
appropriate, quantitatively synthesised.
Discussion: The findings from this review will be used to inform the
development of recomendations for EAACI's Guidelines on AIT."
