Condition/domain being studied
The main domain being investigated is IgE-mediated food allergy. We will
explore any food allergen. Food allergens will be ranked by the
frequency of available studies and index test, with the most commonly
investigated allergen prioritised, if necessary. This is because we will
assume that more studies will raise more high-quality studies, thus
firming evidence. Next, the more recently developed tests (CRD, BAT,
MAT) will be prioritised according to the frequency of reports. The
previous EAACI Food Allergy Guideline paper has already given
recommendations for SPT and specific IgE, and we aim to summarise novel
evidence on SPT and specific IgE if this seems warranted.
