The comparative study of life quality in patients with various forms of chronic urticaria
Abstract.
Objectives. To estimate the influence of various forms of chronic urticaria on life quality of patients, suffering from this disease.
Material and methods. By means of the Russian version of «Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire» (CU - Q2oL) we conducted the research of life quality of 100 patients with various forms of chronic urticaria aged 18-60 years receiving treatment in the Vitebsk regional clinical hospital. 7 patients with dermographic urticaria (6 women and 1 man), whose mean age made up 35 (25-53) years, 32 persons with cold urticaria (26 women and 6 men) at the mean age of 49 (38,5 - 52) years, 61 patients with chronic not specified urticaria (52 women and 9 men) at the mean age of 42 (28 - 51) years participated in the research.
Results. It has been revealed that in all patients suffering from chronic urticaria subjective evaluation of their health condition according to all scales of a specific questionnaire is lowered. Life quality, to the greatest extent, was lowered in patients with chronic not specified urticaria.
Conclusions. Improvement of patients’ life quality should be considered as one of the main tasks of the provided medicinal and nonmedicinal therapy. Russian version of «Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire» can be used not only for estimation of life quality of patients with chronic urticaria, but also for estimation in dynamics of the efficacy of the given treatment, selection of the differentiated techniques of treatment with their special features taken into account.
Key words: chronic urticaria, cold urticaria, physical urticaria, dermographic urticaria, quality of life.
