      <dc:description>Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) leads to a decreased quality of life in patients because&#xd;
of pruritus and skin lesions. However, there is still little evidence on the impact that a worse sleep&#xd;
quality could have on the quality of life and emotional disorders in these patients. The aims of&#xd;
the present study are to analyze the potential impact of sleep quality on the quality-of-life and&#xd;
emotional status of patients with CSU. A cross-sectional study of 75 CSU patients was performed.&#xd;
Socio-demographic variables and disease activity, quality of life, sleep, sexual disfunction, anxiety,&#xd;
depression and personality traits were collected. A majority of 59 of the patients suffered from poor&#xd;
sleep quality. Sleep quality impairment was associated with worse disease control, greater pruritus&#xd;
and swelling and poorer general and urticaria-related quality-of-life (p &lt; 0.05). Patients with poor&#xd;
sleep quality showed an increased prevalence of anxiety (1.62-fold) and depression risk (3.93-fold).&#xd;
Female sexual dysfunction, but not male, was found to be linked to poorer sleep quality (p = 0.04).&#xd;
To conclude, sleep quality impairment in patients with CSU is related to poor quality-of-life, worse&#xd;
disease control and higher rates of anxiety and depression. Global management of the disease should&#xd;
take sleep quality into account to improve the care of CSU patients.</dc:description>
