To analyze the knowledge of Brazilian pediatricians about cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) using a validated questionnaire. Quantitative study with a cross-sectional design in which an online questionnaire on CMPA knowledge was applied. The sample calculation indicated 1024 participants. The online form was divided into two blocks, the first comprising questions on the identification of pediatricians, and the second comprising the validated questionnaire, built from the Brazilian Consensus on Food Allergy (2018). The general evaluation of the questionnaire showed a percentage of agreement of 91% and a Content Validity Index of 0.95. The results of the applied questionnaires were presented in absolute and relative frequencies, mean, median, standard deviation, and percentiles. The level of significance was set at 5% (p <0.05). The validated questionnaire was answered by 1316 Brazilian doctors, of whom 1017 (77.3%) were females, and their mean age was 45.50 ± 13.20 years. The mean total number of correct answers was 80.66 ± 10.42%. Pediatricians mostly answered questions about the concept and treatment of CMPA. The question with the lowest rate of correct answers was related to clinical and laboratory investigation. Most physicians who answered the questionnaire demonstrated they understood the concept and the main CMPA therapeutic recommendations.Downloads
