*
HDM sensitization is defined by specific IgE against house dust mites (d1) ≧0.35 kU/L.
#
Food allergen sensitization is defined by detectable serum levels of specific IgE (≥0.35 kU/L) against one or more food allergens (egg white, cow’s milk, peanuts, and shrimp).
〒
Any sensitization is defined by detectable serum levels of specific IgE (≥0.35 kU/L) against one or more common allergens (egg white, cow’s milk, peanuts, shrimp, house dust mites, and the German cockroach).

Log transformed 18 m and 6 y IgE is represented as mean ± standard error mean.
