Απόσπασμα από την εισαγωγή:

« In October 2008, a number of food allergy experts from the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology and the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology met to develop a consensus document on the conduct and interpretation of the DBPCFC. Members of both academies realized the need to develop an international standard that would advance the field by facilitating our ability to compare studies involving diagnosis, natural history, and therapeutic trials in food allergy done around the world. In the sections that follow, the authors have summarized various aspects of the OFC that were considered. Although this consensus document was meant to provide a standard approach for researchers in the field, most sections are equally applicable to the clinician in practice. Safety was considered paramount in these discussions.»
