Male and Female
Study 1: Retrospective Study of Patients Who Have Received Venom Immunotherapy
1. Patients aged 20 years or older at the time of the survey.
2. Patients who received at least one administration of venom immunotherapy (VIT) using Hymenoptera venom allergen extracts manufactured by Jubilant HollisterStier at
Sagamihara National Hospital or Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center between January 1, 2000, and the date of institutional approval of the study.
3. Patients whose medical records contain sufficient information regarding VIT administration, including the type of venom allergen, dose, and treatment duration.
4. For the follow-up questionnaire survey assessing long-term outcomes and quality of life, patients with available contact information who provide informed consent to participate.
Study 2: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Web-Based Survey of the General Population
1. Individuals aged 20-64 years at the time of the survey.
2. Individuals registered as survey panel members with Macromill, Inc.
3. For the main survey, individuals who report a history of Hymenoptera stings within the past five years during the screening survey.
4. Individuals who provide consent to participate in the survey and to allow their responses to be used for research purposes, both at the beginning of the survey and after receiving the study information presented before final submission.
Study 1: Retrospective Study of Patients Who Have Received Venom Immunotherapy
1. Patients whose medical records contain insufficient information to confirm the details of VIT administration and clinical outcomes.
2. Patients who have expressed their refusal to allow the use of their medical information for this study.
3. Patients deemed unsuitable for participation by the principal investigator.
Study 2: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Web-Based Survey of the General Population
1. Individuals who do not consent to participate in the survey or to allow their responses to be used for research purposes.
2. Individuals whose responses contain substantial inconsistencies that compromise data reliability.
3. Individuals deemed unsuitable for participation by the principal investigator.

This is a non-interventional observational study consisting of two components.
Study 1: Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study
Patients who previously received venom immunotherapy (VIT) at Sagamihara National Hospital or Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center will be retrospectively evaluated using medical records. Data on VIT administration, adverse events, systemic allergic reactions following subsequent Hymenoptera stings, and long-term clinical outcomes will be collected. In addition, a questionnaire survey will be conducted among contactable patients to assess quality of life, anxiety related to Hymenoptera stings, and employment status after treatment.
Study 2: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Web-Based Survey
An anonymous two-stage web-based survey will be conducted among individuals aged 20-64 years in Japan. The first stage will assess the prevalence of Hymenoptera stings. The second stage will target respondents who experienced Hymenoptera stings within the past five years and will assess the prevalence of anaphylaxis, healthcare utilization, diagnosis of venom allergy, awareness of VIT, and willingness to receive VIT. Stratified analyses will be performed according to occupation, geographic region, age, and sex.
