Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of wheal size and skin index (SI) from skin-prick tests in predicting cow's milk allergy (CMA) outcomes in children.
- Results showed that larger wheal sizes and higher SIs were linked to positive oral provocation test results, and half of the patients were likely to outgrow their CMA by age 5.
- The findings suggest that a wheal diameter of 8 mm or an SI of 1.0 can be useful indicators for diagnosing CMA and predicting its natural outgrowth.
