The Angioedema Control Test (AECT) is a validated, easy to use questionnaire to determine disease control in patients with recurrent angioedema. It can be used in patients with histamine-mediated, bradykinin-mediated and idiopathic recurrent angioedema. The AECT is designed as a retrospective instrument and may be applied and evaluated quickly and easily during patient consultations.
A cutoff-value of 10 was found to have the best balance of sensitivity (76%) and specificity (84%) to identify patients with well-controlled angioedema (AECT <10 points indicates poorly controlled recurrent angioedema, AECT ≥10 points indiactes well-controlled angioedema). However, the cut-off value may be adjusted to the purpose of the AECT application, e.g. if the sensitivity is more important than specificity of vice versa. Results of both AECT versions (4-week version and 3 months versino) are interpreted identically.
