The Angioedema Activity Score (AAS) is recommended by the EAACI/GA2LEN/EDF/WAO guidelines for urticaria as a standard measure for assessing disease activity in patients with recurrent angioedema. To date, it has been translated into 80 languages and used in 52 countries. It refers to a patient record by which activity and duration of angioedema is recorded and thus apparent to the physician providing care.
