Percentages represent the number (%) of participants given each diagnoses by each assessor. The number (%) of participants who had each specific allergy diagnosis removed or added by assessor 2 (impact of the ISAC test results) is also presented. Level of agreement between assessors is presented as Kappa statistics (p values)
