Table 2 The distribution of test results in males and females in a database of test results from serologic allergen-specific IgE-testing in Norwegian dogs

Test result	Male	Female	P-value
Test result	Number (%)	Number (%)	P-value
Overall (any allergen)
T+	553 (82.2)	554 (86.6)	0.0347
T-	120 (17.8)	86 (13.4)	0.0347
Outdoor allergens
O+	269 (40.0)	326 (50.9)	<0.0001

A P-value of <0.05 implies a statistically significant difference between the sexes based on a chi-square test.
