  1. Results describing continuous variables are expressed as means (SDs). Results describing categorical variables are expressed as the number of patients and the percentage relative to the number of patients in the FASP1 and FASP2 with non-missing data.
  2. RRTSS = Retrospective Rhinoconjunctivitis Total Symptom Score.
  3. *Sensitized to birch pollen and at least one other allergen tested.
