Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is an unpredictable inflammatory skin condition characterized by the onset of itchy wheals, angioedema, or both, which occurs for longer than 6 weeks overall. Despite relatively straightforward diagnostic algorithm CSU, relying primarily on a detailed medical history and only limited laboratory tests, patients often wait years to be diagnosed, with many cycling through different healthcare practitioners before diagnosis made. Even then, current treatment options CSU are limited, approximately half resistant standard-of-care second-generation antihistamines at standard higher doses. As such, there unmet need improved, streamlined management CSU. Here, we review evidence-based consider required steps workup, provide practical, real-world advice improve timely care this debilitating disease.

In this study, the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Task Forces on Quality Life Patient-Oriented Outcomes Urticaria Angioedema has examined Health-Related (HRQoL) measurement in treatment urticaria. The Index was most frequently used HRQoL instrument clinical trials Many reports urticaria gave no exact numeric results related to changes, making clear conclusions comparisons with other studies impossible. interpretation impairment data is more difficult when assessed by instruments without severity stratification systems. minimal clinically significant difference (MCID) a oriented relevant parameter than depending statistically changes scores. Therefore, using established MCID practice preferred.
