Urticaria Voices: Real-World Experience of Patients Living with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The impact of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is well documented. However, considerable gaps remain in understanding the experience, perception and needs of patients with CSU. In this study, we investigate the perspective of patients with CSU about the disease journey, treatment and management of the condition as well as the physical and psychosocial impact of the disease.

Methods

A multinational, cross-sectional online survey was completed by patients with chronic urticaria (CU) and physicians treating CU. This analysis focuses on data from the patients with CSU. The patient survey included customized questions and a validated patient-reported outcomes measure, the Urticaria Control Test (UCT).
