Number with specific IgE measures for this food allergen, including 24, 23, and 30 infants with missing specific IgE data for milk, egg, and peanut, respectively.

Denominator is persons with specific IgE measures for all 3 food allergens and excludes 32 infants missing at least one food specific IgE.

As determined by physician panel and combines highly probable and likely.
