Tryptase, study 3

Two investigations conducted by Garvey et al. (2010a,b) involved a total
of 438 patients undergoing surgery of various kinds. The main
objective was to study the level of serum tryptase and changes
occurring in this during surgery, in particular in connection with an
allergic reaction.

Study 3:

This study combines patients from Study 1 and Study 2, and contains
information on baseline tryptase values.
