Decision tree. The base-case analysis excluded SPT from DA-I and DA-II (for scenario analyses including SPT incorporated in the algorithms after testing CRD, see this article's Online Repository at The peanut CRD (Ara h 1-3, 8-9) were measured additionally to peanut s-IgE. Ara h 8 and Ara h 9 were presented separately to illustrate the proposed decision making. Some of the costs depended on the test result (different costs were assigned for a negative test result and a positive test result). Branches with Neg Ara h 1, 2, 3 were not assigned any costs because the additional costs depended on the Ara h 8 and Ara h 9 results. C, Costs of diagnostic procedures based on detailed cost breakdown; Hx, clinical reaction history; n, patient distribution moving through the diagnostic algorithms based on transition probabilities derived from the Oslo Peanut Allergy Study; Neg, negative result; Pos, positive result; s-IgE, peanut-specific IgE. Nodes: square, decision node; circle, event node; triangle, terminal node.
