The Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) is the first questionnaire to assess control of both diseases concurrently. However, to have an impact on healthcare it needs to be disseminated and adopted. In this paper we discuss the dissemination of CARAT in different countries and it...

Fonseca, JA; Nogueira-Silva, L; Morais-Almeida, M; Sá-Sousa, A; Azevedo, LF; Ferreira, J; Branco-Ferreira, M; Rodrigues-Alves, R; Bugalho-Almeida, ABACKGROUND: The Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT10) has been proposed as the first tool to implement the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma initiative guidelines in clinical practice. 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-retest reliability, responsiveness and longitud...
