Fig 1 Relapse time in patients with normal (<100 IU/mL) and increased (>100 IU/mL) IgE levels (Kaplan-Meier plot). Time to relapse after discontinuation of omalizumab was shorter in CRs with increased baseline total IgE levels compared with patients with normal IgE levels (log-rank test: χ2 = 5.78, P = .016, n = 26).
