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 JA.
