Average Adjusted Symptom Score (AAdSS)
The Adjusted Symptom Score (AdSS) is a subject-specific symptom score which is adjusted for rescue medication use. Participants assessed daily, during the pollen period while on treatment, 6 rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms (sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal pruritus, nasal congestion, ocular pruritus and watery eyes) each symptom is scored as follows: 0: no symptoms, 1: mild symptoms, 2: moderate symptoms, 3: severe symptoms. The sum of the 6 symptoms is the Rhinoconjunctivitis Total Symptom Score (RTSS) (range 0-18). If the subject took rescue medication on a given day, the AdSS equals the RTSS of that day or the AdSS of the day before, whichever is higher. This adjustment applies to the day of rescue medication use and the following day. Like the RTSS, the AdSS ranges from 0 to 18. The lower the score, the better the outcome.
Time frame: Pollen period (average of 32.1 days)
