Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Symptom Score Sheets

UAS7 + DLQI for patient use

The Urticaria Activity Symptom 7 (UAS7) score sheet and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) are a standardised patient-reported questionnaires which are used to measure the severity of ongoing chronic spontaneous urticaria.

The UAS7 measures 2 outcomes: the quantity of hives and the severity of the pruritus (itching).

The totals are calculated from daily scores over 1 week.

These scores are recorded on patient’s medical file and can be used as criteria within multi team disciplinary meetings for treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Urticaria Activity Symptom 7 Day Score Sheet (UAS7)

Please complete the diary for 7 days. This will provide your UAS7 score for the week before your next appointment or review.

When completing the diary, please try to consider the previous 24 hours as a whole, not merely the current situation.
