The predictive value of detailed allergy history varies in individuals with different histories&#44; and may vary in specialist and general practice populations&#46; Generally primary care physicians treat mild allergies&#44; allergy consultation is requested for more severe allergies and the successful prediction may depend on the severity of the allergic condition in question&#46; Probability of true prediction of cat allergy may be difficult in a child who had no cat in his&#47;her home or the reaction to the same allergen could be different at a different time period of life&#46; Probability of true prediction may be reduced when a patient had a previous history of allergy that has since resolved&#46; In this study&#44; active symptomatic adult patients were assessed by experienced allergists according to patients&#8217; allergy histories&#46; None of the patients were refereed from primary practice or specialist practice&#59; they all had allergy symptoms with a long duration and were assessed by an allergist for the first time&#46; We could not evaluate specificity analysis in a different patient setting&#46; It was surprising that only 36&#37; of patients were atopic and also 42&#37; were predicted positive&#46; This would mean that 58&#37; of patients had unspecified symptoms and they thought that they were allergic&#46; The true prediction rate was low&#46; When the individual contribution of various factors including age&#44; gender&#44; smoking history&#44; pet ownership&#44; familial atopy&#44; duration of disease&#44; age onset of disease&#44; education level&#44; and accommodation in urban&#47;rural region to successful atopy prediction rate was examined&#44; it appeared that their influence on true prediction expect for age is not sufficient&#46; Severity of symptoms was not used in making prediction of atopy which is a limitation&#46; Also medical treatment was not assessed&#46; This could be a strong predictor of atopy and the influence of age on true atopy prediction may be due to the degree of the disease in different age groups&#46; High education was also strongly correlated with successful negative prediction&#59; this might be due to better self description of educated patients&#46; Urbanisation&#44; pet ownership and smoking did not affect the prediction rate&#46; There were very small number of patients in each category and it was difficult to establish the role of these factors&#46; Although allergic sensitisation status of both parents and first offspring were observed to be related to the risk of allergic sensitisation and familial atopy seems to be significantly associated with successful prediction&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> our results did not support this&#46; False positive prediction was high in familial atopic patients&#46;</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The sensitivity and specificity of SPT result prediction was 77&#37; with the threshold of 3<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm for a positive test&#46; Sensitivity increased to 91&#37; when we repeated the analysis with the 5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm cut-off value&#46; Negative prediction rate was almost 100&#37; at that cut-off point&#46; Larger skin reactions predict higher likelihood of positive response and also studies have indicated that larger wheal size would correlate better with clinical allergen reactivity&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5&#44;6</span></a> In our study accuracy and positive predictive value of SPT result prediction was low at that high cut-off value&#46;

detailed history&#44; including the above factors except for age and education level does not seem to be efficient for atopy prediction&#46; Comprehensive assessment of the patient is needed to identify the patient&#39;s allergic status and one the most important parts of this assessment is SPT&#46; It seems that the success rate is high for negative prediction&#46; Interpretation of structured history correctly in general practice may help to rule out allergy&#46; Atopy likelihood ratio may be more useful&#44; which is the reflexion of the patients&#8217; history to the probability that the patient has the allergy&#46; Patients who have high likelihood ratio of atopy should be assessed in detail&#44; including SPT in general practice&#46;
