School nurse checks of carrying autoinjectors
It is unclear whether regular checking by school nurses encourages
school students to carry their adrenaline autoinjectors because the
certainty of evidence is very low (supplement S8c). In one
non-randomised trial checks by school nurses were associated with an
absolute decrease (not improvement) of 15% in in the proportion of
students carrying autoinjectors (not statistically significant, CI not
reported, very low certainty).11Spina JL, McIntyre CL, Pulcini
