    The document discusses using the Urticaria Activity Score 7 (UAS7) to assess disease activity in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU). The UAS7 is a patient-reported measure that sums daily scores over 7 days, with higher scores indicating greater severity. The UAS7 should be used in clinical practice to determine severity and monitor disease activity over time.

    UAS7

    Using the UAS7


    in routine clinical practice
    to assess disease activity

    in patients with CIU*

    *UAS7: weekly Urticaria Activity Score; CIU: chronic idiopathic urticaria


    Chronic idiopathic urticaria is sometimes referred to as chronic spontaneous urticaria.

    UAS7:

    A tool to assess
    disease activity
    in patients with CIU
    Chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) is a skin disorder
    characterized by the spontaneous appearance of
    wheals and/or angioedema for at least 6 weeks.1

    The Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) is a CIU-specific patient-reported measure. It is based


    on the assessment of key CIU symptoms: number of wheals and intensity of itch.1
    Patients with CIU are advised to document 24-hour self-evaluation scores. Daily UAS scores
    are summed over 7 consecutive days to create the UAS7, with higher scores indicating
    greater disease severity.1

    The UAS7 should be used in routine clinical practice to determine disease


    severity in patients with CIU. Comparing UAS7 scores at different visits
    enables to monitor disease activity over time.1

    Please remind patients to bring their completed questionnaires to their next visit.

    Activity Score (UAS7)


    Complete this questionnaire over 7 consecutive days. Your responses
    will help your doctor assess how active your chronic idiopathic urticaria
    (CIU) is. Please circle the score that corresponds to the number of wheals
    you have and the score that represents the intensity of your pruritus
    (itching) on a daily basis (see description in chart below). Remember
    to bring your completed questionnaire to your next visit.

    troublesome to interfere with normal
    daily activity or sleep)

    Remember to complete this questionnaire for your next visit with your doctor.
