Assessment of disease control and impact
The UCT was used to assess disease control during the past month. The maximum UCT score, 16 points, reflects completely controlled disease, and scores from 0 (the lowest score) to 11 points indicate poorly controlled disease. The DLQI permits clinicians to assess the impact of skin disease on the quality of life of patients over the past week. The minimum score (0 points) corresponds to the absence of a negative effect of urticaria symptoms on the patient’s quality of life. The higher the score, the more severely the quality of life is affected (the maximum result is 30 points).
