1. Fig. 3. Structural equation modeling to estimate relationships among K-UCT and UAS7/CU-QoL/salivary cortisone levels. The K-UCT was found to be a significant predictor of salivary cortisone levels (β = 0.278, P = 0.016) and CU-QoL (β = 0.501, P < 0.001). The UAS7 negatively impacted both K-UCT (β = −0.303, P = 0.008) and CU-QoL (β = −0.231, P = 0.021). The numbers on the arrows indicate the regression coefficient (β) of the structural equation model. Positive numbers mean a positive correlation between 2 factors, whereas negative numbers mean negative correlations. The direction of the arrows represents cause and effect.K-UCT, Korean version of Urticaria Control Test; CU, chronic urticaria; UAS7, Urticaria Activity Score Over 7 Days; CU-QoL, chronic urticaria-specific quality of life.
