Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Based on literature and preliminary data, four determinants are identified, which we think are (most) predictive for the severity of the symptoms of hazelnut allergy. The determinants are: Cor a 1, Cor a 8, Cor a 9 and oleosin. First, the predictive value of each determinant will be assessed using univariate analysis. Second, a multivariable logistic regression model will be build starting with the strongest predictor (based on the relative risk obtained from univariate analysis). To make the prediction model applicable for clinical practice, a prediction rule will be made and for the different possible scores on the prediction rule (or categories of the score), we will present the probability of having severe symptoms of hazelnut allergy. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The analysis of IgE and T cell cross-reactivity concerns a secondary analysis to define potential mechanisms responsible for the difference in clinical severity of symptoms. We determine whether there are genetic associations by analysing these polymorfisms. | — |
