This study analyzed allergen sensitization in 26,210 patients across Europe. The European Standard Series (ESS) remains a valid screening tool, with no allergens needing removal.

Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Allergen sensitization patterns are crucial for diagnosing allergic diseases.
  • The European Standard Series (ESS) is widely used for allergy screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the frequency and distribution of sensitization to the 25 allergens in the ESS.
  • To assess the validity of the ESS as a screening tool.

Main Methods:

  • A 5-year retrospective analysis of patient data from 10 centers in 8 European countries.
  • Inclusion of results from 26,210 patients undergoing allergy testing.

Main Results:

  • Moderate variation in allergen sensitivities was observed between centers.
  • The ranking and incidence of sensitization provide valuable data for future ESS composition.

  • The ESS demonstrated continued validity as a screening tool.

    • Conclusions:

    • The European Standard Series (ESS) is effective for allergy screening.
    • No allergens should be removed from the current ESS composition based on this study.
    • Cross-center data requires careful interpretation due to moderate variability.
