Abstract:
Chronic urticaria (CU), particularly chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), is a persistent dermatological condition that significantly impacts patients' physical, emotional and social well-being. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the severity of symptoms in CU patients and evaluate their effects on daily life activities and quality of life. A cross-sectional design was employed to collect data from 109 participants, examining sociodemographic, clinical and psychosocial factors. Thus, we show that CU's severity strongly correlates with impairments in work, sleep and social relationships. This research advances knowledge by integrating clinical severity with detailed patient-reported outcomes, providing a comprehensive understanding of CU's broader impact on daily functioning.
