Validation and correlations of the Angioedema Activity Score (AAS), Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL) questionnaire, and Angioedema Control Test (AECT) in Chinese patients with angioedema.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of recurrent angioedema can be severely debilitating and remains difficult to quantify. Several standardized patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including the Angioedema Activity Score (AAS), Angioedema Quality of Life (AE-QoL) questionnaire, and Angioedema Control Test (AECT), have been developed and translated into different languages. However, these PROMs have yet to be validated in Chinese individuals, and their correlations in the Chinese population remain unknown.

Objective

Our aim was to validate the Chinese versions of the AAS, AE-QoL questionnaire, and AECT and assess their intercorrelations.

Methods

A prospective cohort of 118 Chinese patients with recurrent angioedema at the Angioedema and Urticaria Centre of Reference and Excel
