The Cow’s Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSSTM) was created as an awareness tool for cow’s milk allergy. The aim of the present study was to analyze the inter-rater variability between a pediatrician, parents, and day to day variability. A Health Care Professional (HCP) and parent filled in the CoMiSS independently and blinded for each other to evaluate inter-rater variability. In order to validate day-to-day variability, a parent filled in the CoMiSS during 3 consecutive days and was compared to the CoMiSS scored by the HCP. The absolute agreement between parent and HCP was 75%, and 92.6% and 100% with a tolerance of 0, 1, and 2 points, respectively, resulting in excellent agreement with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.981 (95% Confidence Interval 0.974–0.986, p < 0.001). Day-to-day variability during 3 consecutive days resulted in an absolute agreement of 30%, increasing to 80% and 88.6% when 2 and 3 points, respectively, were accepted. The ICC was excellent for the parental prospective scores (0.93, 95% CI 0.90–0.96; p < 0.001). Day-to-day variability indicates that CoMiSS has a moderate inter-rater reliability. A very low variability was observed when scored prospectively over three days. Data suggest that the CoMiSS can reliably be scored by parents without additional training.

The diagnosis of cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is particularly challenging in infants, especially with non-Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated manifestations, and inaccurate diagnosis may lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the cow’s milk-related symptom score (CoMiSSTM) in response to a cow’s milk-free diet (CMFD). We prospectively recruited 47 infants (median age three months) who had been placed on a CMFD due to persisting unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms. We compared data with 94 healthy controls (median age three months). The CoMiSSTM score was completed at recruitment and while on the exclusion diet. In 19/47 (40%) cases a response to the diet occurred. At recruitment CoMiSSTM was significantly higher in cases compared to controls (median score 8 vs. 3; p-value: <0.05), 9 cases had a score ≥12 and 8/9 normalized on CMFD. An oral milk challenge was performed in all 19 responders and six of these had a positive reaction to cow’s milk (CM). In eight infants IgE allergy tests were positive. The receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curve identified a CoMISSTM score of 9 to be the best cut-off value (84% sensitivity, 85% specificity, 80% positive (PPV) and 88% negative predictive value (NPV)) for the response to CMFD. We found CoMiSSTM to be a useful tool to help identify infants with persisting gastrointestinal symptoms and suspected CMA that would benefit from CMFD.
