Description
The Angioedema Activity Score (AAS) is a validated, easy to use questionnaire to determine disease activity in patients with recurrent angioedema. It can be used in patients with histamine-mediated, bradykinin-mediated and idiopathic recurrent angioedema. The AAS is designed as a diary-type tool, to be used by patients for a daily documentation of their swelling episodes, including their duration, severity and impact on daily functioning and appearance.
The AAS was developed by a Charité team of scientists led by Dr. Karsten Weller and Dr. Marcus Maurer. Briefly, after a set of potential AAS items was developed, item evaluation and reduction were performed, for example, by means of impact analysis and by checking for face validity. In addition, the items of the final AAS were tested for their validity and reliability during a validation study.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes) products that cost nothing and others that cost 15 Euros?
If you plan to use PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes) products (e.g. AAS, AE-QoL, UCT) commercially, there is a small fee per patient (15 €). This applies, for example, to industry-sponsored trials and clinical studies or market research.
You can order free versions, if you plan to use them for non commercial purposes, e.g. for patient management or for academia-driven non commercial
research projects. When you order PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes) products, these instruments are sent per e-mail.
I would like to use PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes) products commercially. Do I have to buy one version each for every time I plan to use it, even in the same patient?
No. Each PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes) products you purchase can be used multiple time by the same patient.
What do I do if PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes) products are not available for my country or in the language I need?
The version you are looking for is probably already under development. Feel free to get in touch with us by e-mail to check when it will be available.
