Cholinergic Urticaria Activity Score (CholUAS)

The CholUAS is a disease-specific questionnaire to assess the disease activity in patients with cholinergic urticaria. It consists of a daily three-item questionnaire and is quick and easy to use for patients.

The CholUAS was developed at the Charité by a team headed by Sabine Altrichter, Karsten Weller and Marcus Maurer. The questions included in the CholUAS were created together with patients. The making of the CholUAS also involved impact and factor analyses as well as visual validity testing, and the development of a scoring system. The CholUAS is also suitable for the use in patient care as well as clinical research and studies.
