dc.description.abstractBackgroundCRUSE (R) is an app that allows patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) to monitor their daily disease activity through the use of visual analogue scales (VASs). We aimed to determine the concurrent validity, reliability, responsiveness and minimal important difference (MID) of CRUSE (R) VASs.MethodsWe evaluated the properties of three daily VASs: VAS for how much patients were affected by their CSU ('VAS urticaria'), VAS for the impact of urticaria on work/school productivity ('VAS productivity') and the VAS of EQ-5D. Concurrent validity was assessed by measuring the association between each VAS and the Urticaria Activity Score (UAS). Intra-rater reliability was determined based on the data of users providing multiple daily questionnaires within the same day. Test-retest reliability and responsiveness (ability to change), respectively, were tested in clinically stable and clinically unstable users. MIDs were determined using distribution-based methods.ResultsWe included 5938 patients (67,380 days). Concurrent validity was high, with VAS urticaria being more strongly associated with the UAS score than the remaining VASs. Intra-rater reliability was also high, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) being above 0.950 for all VASs. Moderate-high test-retest reliability and responsiveness were observed, with reliability ICC being highest for VAS EQ-5D and responsiveness being highest for VAS urticaria. The MID for VAS urticaria was 17 (out of 100) units, compared to 15 units for VAS productivity and 11 units for VAS EQ-5D.ConclusionDaily VASs for CSU available in the CRUSE (R) app display high concurrent validity and intra-rater reliability and moderate-high test-retest reliability and responsiveness.
