Fig 1 Distribution of nc-MCAD and ISMs- patients (n = 80) according to the number of acute episodes after a median follow-up before the referral of 71 months (8-386 months; A) and the frequency of different triggers for the release of MC mediators (B) in ISMs- (n = 48) vs nc-MCAD (n = 32). No statistically significant differences regarding the median follow-up were found between clonal and nonclonal patients. In contrast, the median (range) follow-up of patients with a single MC mediators release episode was significantly lower (P < .001) than that of patients with >1 episode: 44 months (8-380 months) vs 103 months (13-386 months).
