- Abstract: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) greatly affects the quality of life of patients. Currently, no sensitive and convenient biomarkers are available to assess the severity of CSU and efficacy of drug therapies. It is particularly important to apply patient-reported outcome assessment tools with good reliability and validity in daily management of CSU, such as urticaria activity score, urticaria control test and chronic urticaria quality of life questionnaire. This review outlines the existing CSU assessment tools, analyzes their strengths, limitations and clinical application, aiming to establish a CSU clinical scoring system, and to facilitate personalized treatment and efficacy evaluation.
