2 Fig 1 Predicted relationship between skin prick test result and challenge for peanuts. The logistic regression coefficient was (95% CI, to 0.818) and constant −1.60 (95% CI, −2.19 to −1.01). The area under the receiver operator curve was 0.86.

3 Fig 2 Predicted relationship between specific IgE and challenge for peanuts. The logistic regression coefficient was (95% CI, to 0.713) and constant (95% CI, −0.163 to 0.581). The area under the receiver operator curve was 0.77.
