Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patient-generated symptom and medication scores are essential for diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR). Previous studies have shown solid consistencies between different scores at population level in real-life data and trials. For clinicians, the evaluation of individual data quality over time is essential to decide whether to rely on these data in clinical decision-making.Entities:

FIGURE 1(i) Average population values of RTSS (0–18 points, red graph), CSMS (0–6 points, yellow graph), and VAS (0–10 points, green graph) over time in Rome (RM) (A) and Pordenone (PN) (G); (ii) correlation of daily mean values of RTSS and VAS for RM (B) and PN (H); (iii) correlation of daily mean values of CSMS and VAS for RM (C) and PN (I); (iv) consistency between RTSS and VAS at individual timepoints of recording (the bubble size indicates the number of data sets recorded with the respective combination of both scores) in RM (D) and PN (J); (v) the association of individual patient averages for RTSS and VAS in RM (E) and PN (K); and (vi) the association of individual patient averages for CSMS and VAS in RM (F) and PN (L)
FIGURE 2Frequency distribution of the coefficient of determination (R 2) (B, D) between RTSS score and VAS score in Rome (A) and Pordenone (B). Arbitrarily established cut‐offs are: R 2 0–0.2 for low, 0.2 < R 2 ≥ 0.6 for medium, and 0.6 < R 2 for high correlation
FIGURE 3Individual patient slopes (#1–#10) of RTSS (red) and VAS (green) with their respective correlation (scattergrams) in Rome (A) and Pordenone (B). Panel a and b report patients with low (#1–#5) and high (#6–#10) level of consistency, respectively
