Objective: A key component of determining that a patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure is fit-for-purpose is to ensure that respondents understand its instructions and items. Any modification to a measure should be evaluated for relevance and understandability. The objective of the study was to assess comprehension of the adapted Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) questionnaire among adolescents aged populations with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and the modification to UAS question 2 to include patient-friendly terminology "wheals (hives).

Background: The Urticaria Control Test (UCT) is a well-established, very easy to use and calculate 4-item patient-reported outcome measure to assess chronic urticaria disease control during the previous 4 weeks. Clinical trials and practice may benefit from the use of a UCT version with a shorter recall period, but this does not exist.
Objectives: We sought to develop and validate a UCT version with a 7-day recall period, the UCT7.

Background: There is considerable burden of illness in hereditary angioedema (HAE). However, instruments to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in HAE are limited.
