Cold urticaria (ColdU) is a form of inducible urticaria where cold induces wheals and/or angioedema. The burden of disease is high and linked to trigger thresholds, exposure, and avoidance. There are presently no validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess and monitor disease activity. Our objective was to develop a disease-specific activity score for ColdU that is easy to administer and evaluate.
