This research aimed to determine the incidence and severity of iodinated contrast reactions and identify associated risk factors.
Conducted a cross-sectional observational study on 350 patients
Screened for medical history, allergies, medication, and renal function pre-procedure
Monitored patients for 30 min post-contrast administration to detect adverse reactions
7 out of 350 patients (2.0%) developed contrast-related adverse reactions
4 reactions were mild and 3 were moderate; no severe reactions occurred
Reactions more frequent in patients aged 50-60, those with diabetes, and those with a prior history of drug allergy

Jha et al. (2026) studied this question.
