description Chronic urticaria is a debilitating disease that affects health-related quality of life, but few studies have evaluated its impact on psychological wellbeing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with chronic urticaria and determine its impact on their emotional and psychological wellbeing. A cross-sectional multicentre study of a cluster of 264 Lebanese patients visiting dermatology/immunology clinics was conducted between July 2018 and June 2020. The impact of chronic urticaria on quality of life was assessed using the Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire (CU-Q2oL) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), as well as its consequences on mood changes using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Beirut Distress Score 22 (BDS-22) scores. A multivariable analysis of covariates was performed to determine the effect of the triggering factors of urticaria on both CU-Q2oL and PHQ-9. A moderate negative correlation was found between Urticaria Control Test and quality of life scores as well as PHQ-9 and BDS-22 (p < 0.001). Patients with the lowest Urticaria Control Test score had the highest impairment in quality of life and depression scores. In conclusion, chronic urticaria compromises patients’ quality of life and emotional wellbeing. This distress is more pronounced when the disease is more severe.
