Randomized Controlled TrialValidity and responsiveness of the Urticaria Activity and Impact Measure: A new patient-reported tool.
Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), also known as chronic idiopathic urticaria, may produce hives, itch, and angioedema. The Urticaria Activity and Impact Measure (U-AIM) is a newly developed 9-item patient-reported measure designed for use in routine clinical practice to assess CSU activity and impact during the previous 7 days. ⋯ The U-AIM is valid and responsive to change and may help clinicians monitor CSU activity and track treatment effectiveness.
