Chronic Airways Assessment Test (CAAT)
Chronic Airways Assessment Test: A unified tool for assessing chronic airway diseases
CAAT can now be used for assessing respiratory health status in people with asthma, not just COPD
A simple and standardized health status measure
A standardized, easy to administer, health status measure for use across obstructive lung diseases.
Structure and components of the CAAT
8-items assessing aspects of disease relevant to patients.
Development and validation
The COPD assessment test (CAT) and the Chronic Airways Test (CAAT) were developed by an interdisciplinary group of international experts with support from GSK.
CAT and CAAT activities are monitored by a supervisory council that includes independent experts, one of which is chair of the council.
