Age-Stratified Sensitization Patterns in Children Undergoing Skin Prick Testing: A 1-Year

De Chang's dataset contains a one-year single-center cohort of 647 children who underwent standardized skin prick testing for suspected allergic diseases. The data includes age-stratified analyses of airborne and food allergen sensitization, polysensitization burden, wheal-response intensity, and identified sensitization phenotypes. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-26 and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identifying age-associated differences in allergen category distribution based on age-stratified analysis.
• Modeling factors associated with polysensitization based on variables like age, family history, and environmental exposures.
• Clustering patients into clinically interpretable sensitization phenotypes based on skin prick test results.
• Analyzing the relationship between wheal-response intensity and patient age or allergen type.

Strengths

• Contains data from 647 pediatric patients, providing a substantive clinical cohort.
• Includes multiple analysis dimensions: age stratification, polysensitization burden, wheal-response intensity, and phenotype clustering.
• Data is structured for a specific clinical interpretation framework, as described in the summary.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single center over one year, which may limit generalizability.
