Figure 1. Study design and enrolled subjects.
Participants were patients with a history of immediate reactions due to peanut ingestion, who underwent baseline low-dose OFC. Participants without laboratory or clinical information after the baseline low-dose OFC were excluded. Tolerance acquisition for two years after baseline low-dose OFC was assessed. Twenty-one patients (40%) passed the low-dose OFC and were defined as the low-dose-tolerant group; thirty-two children (60%) failed the low-dose OFC and were defined as the low-dose-reactive group.
Abbreviations: OFC, oral food challenge
Figure 2. Tolerance acquisition rate based on the low-dose OFC result after two years.
The percentage of subjects who acquired 795 mg tolerance was estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves, and p -values were calculated using a log-rank test to compare the tolerance rate between low-dose-tolerant and low-dose-reactive groups; 62% of the low-dose-tolerant group took 795 mg of peanut protein, and 3% of the low-dose-reactive group took 795 mg peanut protein. The results of the low-dose OFC showed that there was a significant difference in the 795mg-tolerance (p -value <0.001).
