  1. One patient had an equivocal result at challenge and was excluded from the analysis
  2. AR allergic rhinitis; SCORAD SCORing Atopic Dermatitis; CANA clinical allergy not anaphylaxis; SPT skin prick test; sIgE serum-specific IgE; FeNO fraction of exhaled nitric oxide
  3. a For determination of rhinitis severity, see ‘‘Methods’’ section
  4. b Only 22 individuals in the follow-up cohort were able to perform FeNO
