“…The UK working group has provided criteria for AD that have been shown to be reliable and valid for epidemiologic studies in UK populations 21 but may have poorer sensitivity elsewhere. 22,23 The ISAAC criteria for AD, which are based on the initial data from the UK working party, are more inclusive, and as a separate component of this study, we assessed the validity of both the ISAAC and UK working party criteria for the first time in an Ethiopian population. We found that the ISAAC criteria identified more cases (n = 350 of the original survey) than the UK criteria (n = 127), with relatively little loss in positive predictive value compared with a clinical examination as gold standard.…”

“…10,11 Comprehensive validation studies for the U.K. Working Party [12][13][14][15][16][17] and the ISAAC diagnostic criteria 18,19 performed in many parts of the world have demonstrated their validity, although some have shown low sensitivity. 17,19 One study in Germany has suggested that cultural and educational factors could influence the universal application of such questionnaire-based criteria.…”

“…17 We mitigated against this possibility by selecting an experienced paediatrician (A.H.) who was familiar with AE and its differential diagnosis to act as our reference standard. The same person also undertook a period of study with a dermatology department in the U.K. in order to further familiarize himself with the concept of AE.…”
