We are often asked which reference type to use when referencing an article from UpToDate.com. APA 7 calls for articles from UpToDate to be formatted like periodicals.
The link below from the official APA website discusses how an UpToDate article should be formatted.

To accomplish this in PERRLA, you will use the Journal reference type.
Under Choose a type, select An article in a database.
From there, fill out all of the relevant information.
In the Database Name field, you will type UpToDate.
Also, be sure to include a Retrieval Date since the content is designed to change over time.
That's it! Your UpToDate reference will now be formatted in accordance with APA 7.
