To serve this purpose, it must have adequate properties to assess the control of an individual over time. This study aimed to prospectively assess the test\u2010retest reliability, responsiveness and longitudinal validity of CARAT10.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adults with asthma and allergic rhinitis were enrolled at 4 outpatient clinics of Portuguese central hospitals. At each of the two visits, 4 to 6 weeks apart, patients filled out CARAT10 and additional questionnaires, followed by a medical evaluation blinded to the questionnaires\u2019 answers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>From the 62 patients included, 51 patients completely filled out CARAT10 at both visits. The test\u2010retest reliability, computed as an intra\u2010class correlation coefficient, was 0.82. Regarding responsiveness, a significant change (p\u2009=\u20090.002) of CARAT10 score in clinically unstable patients was observed (95%CI \u20105.08; \u20101.31) and the Guyatt's responsiveness index was 1.54. As for the longitudinal validity assessment, the correlation coefficients of the changes of CARAT10 scores with those of ACQ5 and symptoms VAS ranged from 0.49 to 0.65, while with the physician assessment of control they ranged from 0.31 to 0.41.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>CARAT10 has good test\u2010retest reliability, responsiveness and longitudinal validity. It can be used to assess control of allergic rhinitis and asthma, both to compare groups in clinical studies and to evaluate individual patients in clinical practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/2045-7022-2-16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,30]],"date-time":"2012-08-30T12:14:15Z","timestamp":1346328855000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) can be used to assess individual patients over time"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Joao A","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Information and Decision Sciences Department Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto Porto Portugal"},{"name":"CINTESIS \u2013 Center for Research in Health Technologies and Information Systems Porto Portugal"},{"name":"Centro Hospitalar S.
