“…Therefore, the Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire (CUQ2oL) and the Urticaria Control Test (UCT) were applied. 8 The CUQ2oL (Figure 1) was created and validated in 2005 by Baiardini et 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17); II -pruritus/impact on activities (questions 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 22); and III -edema/limitations/appearance (questions 3, 4, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 23). Patients responded, taking into account the last two weeks, indicating the intensity of each item separately on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 5.…”

Introdução: A urticária crônica é uma doença com prevalência em pelo menos 0,1% da população, definida pela presença de pápulas pruriginosas, angioedema ou ambos por período superior a seis semanas. Os pacientes com urticária crônica têm um severo prejuízo na qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da urticária crônica na qualidade de vida dos portadores da doença dentro de um serviço especializado no estado de Sergipe. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo observacional a partir de dados coletados de 40 pacientes atendidos, em 2021, no Serviço de Alergia e Imunologia do Ambulatório de Alergia e Imunologia do Decós Day Hospital, através de dois questionários específicos para a avaliação da qualidade de vida na urticária crônica: o Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire e o Urticaria Control Test. Resultados: Foi possível identificar uma correlação positiva, através do questionário Urticaria Control Test, entre a intensidade dos sintomas e a piora da qualidade de vida (r = 0,774; p < 0,001). Também foi possível identificar uma correlação positiva entre a intensidade dos sintomas e a piora da qualidade de vida, desta vez mensurada pela escala Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire (r = 0,768; p < 0,001). Noventa por cento dos pacientes afirmaram se sentir cansados durante o dia porque não dormiram bem, 87,5% sentem dificuldade para se concentrar, 90% sentem-se nervosos, 80% afirmaram sentirem-se para baixo, 75% disseram ter vergonha das lesões da urticária que aparecem no corpo, e 60% tem vergonha de frequentar lugares públicos. Conclusões: A urticária crônica compromete a qualidade de vida, medida pelos questionários Urticaria Control Test e Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire. O comprometimento da qualidade de vida dos doentes com urticária crônica ocorre principalmente nos aspectos psicológicos, nos relacionamentos sociais e na qualidade do sono.Descritores: Urticária crônica, qualidade de vida, inquéritos e questionários.Introduction: Chronic urticaria is a disease with a prevalence in at least 0.1% of the population, defined by the presence of pruritic papules, angioedema or both for a period longer than six weeks. Patients with chronic urticaria have a severe loss in quality of life. Objective: To assess the impact of chronic urticaria on the quality of life of patients with the disease within a specialized service in the state of Sergipe. Methods: This is a descriptive observational study based on data collected from 40 patients treated, in 2021, at the Allergy and Immunology Service of the Allergy and Immunology Outpatient Clinic of Decós Day Hospital, using two specific questionnaires for quality assessment of life in chronic urticaria: the Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Urticaria Control Test. Results: It was possible to identify a positive correlation, through the Urticaria Control Test questionnaire, between the intensity of symptoms and the worsening of quality of life (r = 0.774, p < 0.001). It was also possible to identify a positive c...

“…Three of these PROs are urticaria-specific: weekly Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7); Urticaria Control Test (UCT); and Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire (CU-Q2oL); and then two for angioedema: Angioedema Activity Score (AAS) and Angioedema Quality of Life Questionnaire (AE-QoL). [11][12][13][14][15] In 1999, the World Health Organization (WHO) started to describe the QoL as multidimensional, in the physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions. 16 Among those likely to be important is spiritual well-being (SpWB).…”

Background: Patients with chronic urticaria (CU) often report an impaired quality of life (QoL). Although a positive effect of addressing spirituality in health care has been proved in several chronic diseases, its potential role in CU has received no attention. Objective: We aim to evaluate spirituality and QoL in CU subjects. Methods: In a single-centre observational study, 100 CU subjects were investigated using Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being (FACIT-Sp-12) scale, Chronic Urticaria Quality of life Questionnaire (CU-Q2oL) and Urticaria Control Test (UCT). Results: Of 100 subjects, 82 were female and 18 were male. It was observed that subjects with poorly controlled CU presented FACIT Sp-12 meaning/peace (p = 0.004) significantly lower, and CU-Q2oL (p <0.0001) significantly higher (worst QoL) than subjects with controlled CU. There was no difference in the FACIT Sp-12 faith (p = 0.43) between groups. There was moderate direct correlation between FACIT Sp-12 faith and FACIT Sp-12 meaning/peace (r = 0.483; p <0.0001; n = 100). There was a significant strong inverse correlation between the CU-Q2oL and the UCT (r =-0.762; p <0.0001; n = 100). No correlation was found between the FACIT Sp-12 faith and CU-Q2oL, neither with UCT. Conclusion: No study has ever investigated the role of spirituality in managing patients with urticaria. Our findings support the impact of poorly controlled urticaria in spiritual well-being and QoL. Therefore, clinicians should pay more attention to spirituality among CU patients. We suggest that urticaria guidelines should include specific recommendations on spirituality assessment.

Background: Patients with chronic urticaria (CU) often report an impaired quality of life (QoL). Although a positive effect of addressing spirituality in health care has been proved in several chronic diseases, its potential role in CU has received no attention. This study evaluated spirituality and QoL in CU subjects with different control levels. Methods: In a single-centre observational study, 100 CU subjects were investigated using Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being (FACIT-Sp-12) scale, Chronic Urticaria Quality of life Questionnaire (CU-Q2oL) and Urticaria Control Test (UCT). Results: Of 100 subjects, 82 were female and 18 were male. It was observed that subjects with not controlled CU presented FACIT Sp-12 meaning/peace (p = 0.004) significantly lower, and CU-Q2oL (p <0.0001) significantly higher (worst QoL) than subjects with controlled CU. There was no difference in the FACIT Sp-12 faith (p = 0.43) between groups. There was moderate direct correlation between FACIT Sp-12 faith and FACIT Sp-12 meaning/peace (r = 0.483; p <0.0001; n = 100).
