Drug Hypersensitivity Quality of Life Questionnaire: validation procedures and ...
Castro, ED; Barbosa, J; Mesquita, AM; Caires, A; Ribeiro, L; Cernadas, JR; Baiardini, IBackground: Hypersensitivity reactions to drugs are unpredictable and can be very complex and severe, even life threatening. Assess its impact on patient’s health related quality of life (HRQoL) is crucial. The Drug Hypersensitivity Quality of Life Questionnaire (DrHy-Q) is the only validated disease-specific HRQoL questionnaire. We aimed to translate and cross-cultural validate the DrHy-Q to the Portuguese p...
Overrating Classifier Performance in ROC Analysis in the Absence of a Test Set:...
Cilluffo, G; Fasola, SJ; Ferrante, G; Montalbano, L; Baiardini, I; Indinnimeo, L; Viegi, G; Fonseca, JA; La Grutta, SBACKGROUND: The use of receiver operating characteristic curves, or "ROC analysis," has become quite common in biomedical research to support decisions. However, sensitivity, specificity, and misclassification rates are still often estimated using the training sample, overlooking the risk of overrating the test performance. METHODS: A simulation study was performed to highlight the inferential implications of s...
ARIA 2016: Care pathways implementing emerging technologies for predictive medi...
Bousquet, J; Hellings, PW; Agache, I; Bedbrook, A; Bachert, C; Bergmann, KC; Bewick, M; Bindslev-Jensen, C; Bosnic-Anticevitch, S; Bucca, C; Caimmi, DPThe Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) initiative commenced during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999. The initial goals were (1) to propose a new allergic rhinitis classification, (2) to promote the concept of multi-morbidity in asthma and rhinitis and (3) to develop guidelines with all stakeholders that could be used globally for all countries and populations. ARIA-disseminated and im...

Baiardini, I; Braido, F; Bindslev-Jensen, C; Bousquet, PJ; Brzoza, Z; Canonica, GW; Compalati, E; Fiocchi, A; Fokkens, W; Gerth van Wijk, RThe aim of this Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA(2)LEN) consensus report is to provide recommendations and suggestions for assessing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) including health-related quality of life in patients with urticaria. We recommend that PROs should be used both in clinical trials and routine practice for the evaluation of urticaria patients. We suggest that PROs should be considere...
Specific recommendations for PROs and HRQoL assessment in allergic rhinitis and...
Braido, F; Bousquet, PJ; Brzoza, Z; Canonica, GW; Compalati, E; Fiocchi, A; Fokkens, W; Gerth van Wijk, R; La Grutta, S; Lombardi, C; Maurer, MThe GA(2)LEN taskforce on Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) published in 2009 a position paper concerning PROS and HRQoL assessment in clinical trials on allergy. Because of the specificity of this topic in asthma and rhinitis, specific recommendations are needed. The aim of this position paper is to define PROs and their meaning in asthma and rhinitis research, explore...
