Whether eliminating specific components of the existing criteria would have the same diagnostic utility as the original remains unknown.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>To evaluate the performance of several simplified criteria for diagnosing ABPA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We compared the performance of seven new criteria (after excluding or modifying one or more of the components of the ISHAM-AWG criteria) with the modified ISHAM-AWG criteria in asthmatic subjects using latent class analysis (LCA). We also tested the performance of the newer criteria using accuracy measures against a multidisciplinary team (MDT) diagnosis of ABPA. We considered the diagnostic accuracy of the newer criteria to be acceptable if the correct classification and false-negative rates were &amp;gt;95% and &amp;lt;5%, respectively, on an MDT evaluation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We analyzed data from 543 asthmatic subjects (58.8% women; mean age, 36.8 years). Using LCA, the sensitivity of the <jats:italic>A.fumigatus<\/jats:italic>-specific IgE-based criteria ranged from 92-99%, while the specificity varied between 92% and 100%. The MDT diagnosed ABPA in 106 (19.5%) subjects. Using MDT as the reference standard, the correct classification and false-negative rates were &amp;gt;95% for three of the seven and &amp;lt;5% for four of the seven newer criteria.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found several of the newly developed criteria to perform, like the modified ISHAM-AWG criteria, for diagnosing ABPA complicating asthma.
