Figure 1. Flowchart depicting the selection of participants for the study.
Among the 2,028 patients who were diagnosed with an HE, CM, wheat, or peanut allergy and had visited our institute, 24 patients who had been diagnosed with non-IgE-mediated food allergies and 9 with food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis were excluded, as were 629 patients who had received oral immunotherapy (OIT) and 5 whose sIgE levels were not assessed. Furthermore, 265 patients whose threshold in the 2 years preceding the study initiation was not obtained were excluded. Finally, 1,096 participants were included in this study, and comprised 609, 457, 138, and 90 participants with HE, CM, wheat, and peanut allergies, respectively. HE, hen’s egg; CM, cow’s milk; FDEIAn, food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis; OIT, oral immunotherapy.
Figure 2. Difference in the rate of AAR between children with low-dose reactivity and children with low-dose tolerance.
We compared the rates of AAR for patients with low-dose reactivity and those with low-dose tolerance to HE, CM, wheat, and peanut allergies in (A) all cohorts and (B) sub-cohorts. HE, hens’ egg; CM, cow’s milk.
