“…22 It is fast, relatively non-invasive, and significantly better than specific IgE measurement. Once a positive value or reactivity is determined with SPT, it persists during a long time even in treated patients.…”

“…Additionally, SPT have shown a high sensitivity but a low specificity for allergy diagnosis of asthma and rhinitis (Dreborg, 1989;Brand et al, 1993;Witteman et al, 1996;Bousquet et al, 2008).…”

“…Positive SPT of every single allergen was more strongly related to new-onset of both asthma and nasal allergy than a positive RAST. This association might even increase with the use of a lower cut-off value for SPT [23,25]. Previous studies have stated that the results of SPT and RAST are not interchangeable and that a positive SPT not accompanied by a positive RAST might be due to IgE antibodies that are not detectable by any RAST procedures [26,27].…”

Limited information exists regarding the incidence and predictors of asthma and nasal allergy in adulthood. We determined the incidence rate of asthma and nasal allergy in adults and assessed the predictive value of skin prick tests (SPTs) and radioallergosorbent tests (RASTs) for these two outcomes.Two German centres involved in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey conducted a follow-up assessment in 2012 of the baseline participants (1185 adults aged 21-47 years assessed in 1990). The predictive value of SPTs and RASTs on new-onset asthma and nasal allergy was assessed by Cox regression and by calculating the positive or negative predictive value.During the 20 years between baseline and follow-up, 3.1 and 4.4 per 1000 person-years of new-onset asthma and nasal allergy cases were recorded, respectively. The hazard ratios for SPTs of any specific and of all aeroallergens combined were slightly higher than those of RASTs for asthma and nasal allergy. The negative predictive values of both the SPT and RAST were very high and similar (0.94-0.96), whereas the postive predictive values were low (0.09-0.20).Positive SPT results showed a better association with new onset asthma and nasal allergy than positive RAST either to any specific aeroallergens or to all combined. @ERSpublications Positive SPT shows better association with new-onset asthma and nasal allergy than positive radioallergosorbent tests
