| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Score |
| Brief Description |
The ENT activity score (ENTAS) aims for standardizing ENT assessment, including activity and damage to the inner and external nose, paranasal sinus, ear, larynx and subglottis. |
| Number of Items | 35 |
| Range | - |
| Responses options/scale |
Yes Yes/No |
| Developed for | Research, Clinical practice |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Physician |
| Recommendations to score |
GPA/ENT activity was evaluated in dichotomy (yes/no) and grading (none/mild/moderate/ high). |
| Score Interpretation | - |

| Smallest detectable change applied to | --- |
| Completion time by the patient | - minutes |
| Scoring time by the assessor | - minutes |
| Training to score | Not necessary |
| Strengths | Useful in clinical practice & research |
| Limitations | Ceiling effect |
| OTHER COMMENTS | |
| Other Comments |
A modifified ENT assessment score based on anamnesis, endoscopic and diagnostic data was published, named ENTAS 2, that showed high intra-rater reliability in damage evaluation (87.8%, κ=0.74). |
