Probability of the occurrence of anaphylaxis at a subsequent FC event
Symptoms at subsequent FC |
Anaphylaxis |
Non-anaphylaxis in response to the same or a higher dose | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Symptoms at at index FC | In response to a lower dose (compared with the response to the index reaction) | In response to a lower or same level of exposure | In response to a higher dose∗ | |
Anaphylaxis | ||||
In response to any dose (n = 100) | 12% (6-20) | 25% (17-35) | 8% (4-15) | 35% (26-45) |
In response to <50 mg (n = 23) | 4.4% (0.1-22) | 22% (7-44) | 9% (1-28) | 43% (23-66) |
Nonanaphylaxis | ||||
In response to any dose (n = 52) | 19% (6-20) | 50% (36-64) | ||
In response to <50 mg (n = 23) | 4.4% (0.1-22) | 30% (13-53) |
In all data cells, the intervals in parentheses are 95% CIs.
These data must be interpreted with caution, as the risk of anaphylaxis in response to higher doses would have reduced by the challenge being terminated in many individuals at the onset of objective symptoms (before the onset of anaphylaxis), thus potentially limiting reaction severity.
