PA, peanut allergy; TP, true positive; FP, false positive; TN, true negative; FN, false negative; Se, sensitivity; Sp, specificity; LR+, positive likelihood ratio; LR-, negative likelihood ratio; , infinity; unk, unknown; FC, food challenge.

^Pos history, positive history of adverse reaction to peanut; pos SPT/sIgE, IgE to peanut extract ≥ ± 0.35 kU/l and/or SPT ≥ ± 3 mm; pos sensitization, not further specified in article

* Study included 290 tolerant and 148 allergic patients. Exact values for TP, FP, TN, FP not known due to missing values for SPT and sIgE and use of logistic regression

# Only peanut-sensitized subjects were used for tolerant group

**Subselection of patients within study: 1) Pos history, 2) Pos SPT/sIgE or unclear history
