Determination of independent risk factors and comparative analysis of diagnostic methods for immediate type latex allergy in spina bifida patients

Background Development of allergy to natural rubber latex in spina bifida patients is determined by several risk factors, such as age, number of interventions and atopic disease that are, however, interdependent. Furthermore, several diagnostic procedures have been analysed, but a comprehensive analysis of their diagnostic significance is lacking.
