The International Collaboration in Asthma, Allergy and Immunology initiated an
international coalition among the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma &
Immunology; the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology; the World
Allergy Organization; and the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology on
common variable immunodeficiency. An author group was formed and then divided
into individual committees. Within the committee, teams of authors were
subgrouped to generate content for specific sections of the document. Content was
derived from literature searches, relevant published guidelines, and clinical
experience. After a draft of the document was assembled, it was collectively
reviewed and revised by the authors. Where evidence was lacking or conflicting,
the information presented represents the consensus expert opinion of the group.
The full document was then independently reviewed by 5 international experts in
the field, none of whom was among the authors of the original. The comments of
these reviewers were incorporated before submission for publication.
