Skin Testing for Allergic Rhinitis: A Health Technology Assessment.

CONCLUSIONS: Skin-prick testing is moderately accurate in identifying subjects with or without allergic rhinitis. The diagnostic accuracy of intradermal testing could not be well established from this review. Our best estimate is that publicly funding skin testing for allergic rhinitis costs the Ontario government approximately $2.5 million to $3.0 million per year. PMID: 27279928 [PubMed - in process]
