The prognostic models were derived from a cohort of Canadian animal health technology apprentices. The models\u2019 internal validity and diagnostic accuracy were evaluated and compared.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Symptoms indicative of asthma and allergic symptoms at baseline composed the final questionnaire model for the occurrence of occupational sensitisation and symptoms. Both questionnaire models showed a good discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve were 0.73 and 0.78, respectively) and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test p value &gt;0.10). Addition of SPT and\/or BR testing increased the specificity of the questionnaire model for LA sensitisation, but not for symptoms at work.
