TI  - Autonomic Response Testing Compared With Immunoglobulin E Allergy Panel Test 
      Results: Preliminary Report.
PG  - 10-14
LID - AT5703 [pii]
AB  - Context * Chronically ill patients who have failed standard medical assessment 
      and therapies are often assessed by integrative medical providers for atypical 
      manifestations of allergies as the possible source or contributing factor(s) to 
      their condition. Skin testing and immunoglobulin E (IgE) allergy panels increase 
      the cost of care in these patients. Objective * The objective of this study was 
      to determine the accuracy of autonomic response testing (ART) as compared with 
      IgE allergy panel blood tests. Design * This study was a retrospective chart 
      review of patients who had ART and blood drawn for an IgE allergy panel at the 
      same office visit. Outcome Measures * Sensitivity, specificity, positive 
      predictive value, negative predictive value, overall accuracy, phi coefficient, 
      and Cohen's kappa were calculated. Results * A total of 14 charts were reviewed. 
      All measures of accuracy were of either useful or excellent strength. The 
      strength of association measures of the phi coefficient and Cohen's kappa were 
      strong. Conclusion * This first and preliminary evaluation of the allergy 
      assessment utility of ART is very promising and reveals the need for more 
      vigorous follow-up studies.
