Background: Chronic urticaria (CU) diagnosis includes the patient's clinical history and physical examination. However, atypical presentations or misdiagnosis can lead to diagnostic delay (DD).
Objective: The impact and contributing factors of DD in CU are unknown and were assessed in the present study.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed data from CU adult patients from the international, multicenter Chronic Urticaria Registry (CURE).
Results: Of 4332 CU patients, 61% had standalone chronic spontaneous urticaria (sCSU), 18% had ≥ 1 form of chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), and 21% had a combination of both (CSU + CIndU). Diagnosis of CU was delayed in 24% of patients by at least 1 year. CIndU patients showed a longer DD compared to those with sCSU or CSU + CIndU (median, [IQR]: 4, [0-22] vs. 1, [0-6] vs. 2, [0-9] months, p < 0.001). Among CIndU patients, symptomatic dermographism (n = 264) and cholinergic urticaria (n = 103) patients had the longest DD compared to all other CIndU subgroups (median: 4 months, p = 0.005 for both). In CIndU patients, a longer DD was associated with having an additional CIndU (OR: 12.8, p = 0.03), younger age, comorbidities, lower disease control, and lack of second-generation H1-antihistamine treatment. In CSU patients, a DD of ≥ 6 months was associated with lower CSU activity (median weekly Urticaria Activity Score of 14 vs. 21, p = 0.02) compared to that of DD < 6 months.
Conclusions: Diagnosis of CU is delayed in one out of four patients. Greater awareness of the guideline-recommended CU classification, clinical presentation, and diagnostic work-up can facilitate CU diagnosis.
背景:慢性荨麻疹的诊断包括患者的临床病史和体格检查。然而,非典型表现或误诊可导致诊断延迟(DD)。目的:本研究对CU中DD的影响和影响因素进行了评估。方法:我们回顾性分析来自国际多中心慢性荨麻疹登记(CURE)的CU成年患者的数据。结果:在4332例CU患者中,61%为单纯性慢性自发性荨麻疹(sCSU), 18%为≥1种形式的慢性诱导性荨麻疹(CIndU), 21%为两者合并(CSU + CIndU)。24%患者的CU诊断延迟至少1年。与sCSU或CSU + CIndU患者相比,CIndU患者的DD时间更长(中位数,[IQR]: 4, [0-22] vs. 1, [0-6] vs. 2,[0-9]个月,p = 1)。在慢性阻塞性肺病患者中,与慢性阻塞性肺病患者相比,DD≥6个月与较低的慢性阻塞性肺病活动度相关(每周荨麻疹活动度中位数为14比21,p = 0.02)。提高对指南推荐的CU分类、临床表现和诊断检查的认识可以促进CU的诊断。

<p>Birch pollen allergy is one of the most common pollen allergies in Northern- and Central Europe. Up to 70%–80% of affected patients experience allergic symptoms due to cross reactivity to certain fruits, nuts and vegetables, also known as ‘birch pollen related food allergy’ (BPFA) [<span>1-3</span>]. Patients with BPFA typically report mild oropharyngeal symptoms. However, severe allergic reactions can occur [<span>3-5</span>]. This study aims to investigate the severity of BPFA by detailed history, including confirmation by oral food challenge (OFC) and home-based OFC (HOFC).</p><p>Patients aged 18–65 years with BPFA were recruited. BPFA was defined as follows: presence of symptoms with sensitization to birch pollen extract and/or Bet v 1, and a positive challenge for at least one BPFA-food, and sensitization to the associated PR-10 component, without sensitization to non-PR-10 components. The study was approved by the local ethics committee (protocol number 22-819); all patients provided written informed consent.</p><p>OFCs and HOFCs (further referred to as ‘challenges’ when mentioned together) were performed following the local protocol, based on PRACTALL guidelines and expert opinion. Patients who performed a HOFC were carefully selected and thoroughly informed. They needed to have clear, non-severe symptoms in history and be confident about performing the challenge at home. For HOFC, we instructed patients to stop the HOFC in case the following symptoms occurred: visible swelling lips/tongue/throat/eyelid, tightness of throat, hoarseness, swallowing complaints, runny or congested nose, watery eyes, redness of skin, urticaria or any gastro-intestinal, respiratory or cardiovascular symptom. Doctor's diagnosed severity was assessed based on oFASS-5 severity score [<span>6</span>]. Patient-perceived severity was assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS, range 1–10). From now on, severity scores will be referred to as oFASS clinical severity and NRS patient-perceived severity.</p><p>In total, 38 patients were included, mean age: 33 years, 60.5% female. The median number of food allergies per patient was 8 with a maximum of 16. The doctor's diagnosed severity of the clinical history based on oFASS showed that 48.1% were classified as mild, 40.4% as moderate, but 11.4% as severe. Severe symptoms were most commonly reported for hazelnut (29%), followed by soy milk (25%), apple (19%), plum (18%) and tomato (15%) (https://osf.io/wrdpu). Overall, 81.6% of patients reported more than only oropharyngeal symptoms.</p><p>A total of 109 challenges were performed and 84.2% of patients experienced more than only oropharyngeal symptoms during challenge. Assessing the oFASS clinical severity of all challenges, 43.0% were classified as mild, 44.1% as moderate and 12.9% as severe (Figure 1). When examining the patients with severe symptoms during OFC more closely, all patients had pulmonal symptoms (https://osf.io/wrdpu). Two patients (16.7%) received medi
桦树花粉过敏是北欧和中欧最常见的花粉过敏之一。高达70%-80%的患者由于对某些水果、坚果和蔬菜的交叉反应而出现过敏症状,也称为“桦树花粉相关食物过敏”(BPFA)[1-3]。BPFA患者通常报告轻微的口咽症状。然而,可能会发生严重的过敏反应[3-5]。本研究旨在通过详细的病史调查双pfa的严重程度,包括通过口腔食物挑战(OFC)和家庭OFC (HOFC)进行确认。招募年龄在18-65岁的BPFA患者。BPFA定义如下:存在对桦树花粉提取物和/或betv1致敏的症状,并且对至少一种BPFA-食物呈阳性反应,并且对相关的PR-10成分致敏,对非PR-10成分无致敏。该研究已获得当地伦理委员会批准(方案号22-819);所有患者均提供书面知情同意书。OFCs和HOFCs(一起提到时进一步称为“挑战”)是根据PRACTALL指南和专家意见,按照当地协议进行的。进行HOFC的患者是经过精心挑选和充分告知的。他们需要有明确的、不严重的病史,并有信心在家中进行挑战。对于HOFC,我们建议患者在出现以下症状时停止使用HOFC:明显的嘴唇/舌头/喉咙/眼睑肿胀,喉咙紧绷,声音嘶哑,吞咽不适,流鼻涕或充血,眼睛流泪,皮肤发红,荨麻疹或任何胃肠道,呼吸道或心血管症状。根据oFASS-5严重程度评分[6]评估医生诊断的严重程度。采用数值评定量表(NRS,范围1-10)评估患者感知的严重程度。从现在开始,严重程度评分将被称为oFASS临床严重程度和NRS患者感知严重程度。共纳入38例患者,平均年龄33岁,女性占60.5%。每位患者食物过敏的中位数为8例,最多为16例。医生根据oFASS诊断的病史严重程度,48.1%为轻度,40.4%为中度,11.4%为重度。严重症状最常见的是榛子(29%),其次是豆浆(25%)、苹果(19%)、李子(18%)和番茄(15%)(https://osf.io/wrdpu)。总体而言,81.6%的患者报告不止口咽症状。总共进行了109次挑战,84.2%的患者在挑战期间经历了不止口咽症状。评估所有挑战的oFASS临床严重程度,43.0%为轻度,44.1%为中度,12.9%为重度(图1)。当更仔细地检查OFC期间症状严重的患者时,所有患者都有肺部症状(https://osf.io/wrdpu)。2名患者(16.7%)接受了针对其症状的药物治疗,5名患者(41.7%)的峰值流量下降,5名患者(41.7%)由于症状在最终剂量之前停止了注射。在109个挑战中,45.0%在家中进行。鲜苹果(44.9%)最常受到HOFC的威胁,其次是榛子产品(22.4%)。在oFASS临床严重程度方面,33.3%的hofc为轻度,57.8%为中度,8.9%为重度。不需要肾上腺素,患者感知的这些严重症状的严重程度的平均NRS评分为3.2,表明只有轻度损伤,症状不在严重程度谱的最极端端。在hofc中,55.1%的人按照方案停止了治疗,这可能降低了在家出现严重症状的风险。此外,患者按照指示适当地停止刺激,这表明在精心选择的低风险个体中可以安全地进行HOFC。这是第一个对食物挑战证实的双酚a患者进行深入表征的研究。双酚a通常是轻微的,通常仅表现为局部口咽症状[1,3,5]。然而,我们也发现相当比例的患者在食物挑战期间出现中度(44.1%)甚至严重(12.9%)的反应。值得注意的是,oFASS评分系统不区分不同程度的肺部症状,也不区分局部或全身症状。总之,我们的研究结果表明,BPFA可以呈现比以前认为的更广泛和更严重的症状谱[1,3,5]。OFCs是确认食物过敏的黄金标准。在这项研究中,由于致病性过敏原的不稳定性,OFCs很难对BPFA进行盲法研究,因此进行了公开挑战[3,4]。结果表明,HOFC对食物过敏的确认和阈值剂量的估计具有一定的价值。然而,当涉及到评估所有症状时,hofc可能会由于每个方案的停止而导致严重程度的代表性不足。 任何客观症状的出现都应立即停药,以防止潜在的严重或危及生命的反应。另一方面,在家对症状的自我评估也可能导致对严重程度的高估。然而,所有最终的严重程度分类都由专家小组评估,以尽量减少潜在的偏倚并加强结果的可靠性。有了明确的指导和适当的患者选择,低风险患者可以在家中安全地进行挑战,而无需等待医院的OFC[7-9]。据我们所知,没有其他研究调查过hofc。由于这种方法可以实现更快的诊断和更有针对性的饮食建议,我们建议进一步的研究来支持我们的数据。总之,BPFA在大多数患者中是轻微的,但超过80%的患者会出现口咽部以外的症状,甚至12.9%的患者会出现严重反应。hofc对于经过精心挑选的患者是安全的,为减少医院资源使用提供了一种有希望的方法。所有作者都对本研究的构思和设计做出了重大贡献,并参与了手稿的起草或修改。所有作者都对即将出版的版本给予了最终批准,并同意对工作的各个方面负责。E.

<p>In this journal and other allergy specialty journals, we often read about important scientific breakthroughs with potential to improve the lives of people affected by allergic conditions. This month, we highlight areas where attention to ‘the basics’ is all that is needed to improve the clinical care of people with allergies.</p><p>The first Editor's Choice article explores patterns of adrenaline auto-injector prescribing in England. Adrenaline auto-injectors are medical devices which aim to promptly reverse symptoms of anaphylaxis and potentially prevent fatal outcome. Their design, dosing, indications and effectiveness have all attracted debate and controversy [<span>1, 2</span>]. But since their licensing in 1989 they have become an allergy must-have item and a commercial success story. Although there is considerable uncertainty about dosing, it is likely that the treatment dose for larger, older children and adults should be higher than the dose for younger children. Michaelis et al. show us that in community practice, prescription of inappropriately low dose adrenaline auto-injectors is relatively common [<span>3</span>]. In an analysis of 2 years of prescribing data for England, the authors found over 1700 patients, mainly adults, were prescribed a low-dose (150 μg) adrenaline autoinjector. Using national resuscitation council guidance, they estimated that up to half of all 150 microgram prescriptions may have been underdosed. This adds to the known issue that in many regions there is no availability of 500 microgram adrenaline auto-injectors, meaning that ‘correct’ prescription of 300 microgram devices could also be considered to represent underdosing. Clearly further work is needed to ensure more robust prescribing guidance, but checking a patient's weight and the relevant adrenaline dose before issuing a repeat prescription seems like a relatively simple step for clinical practitioners to make (Figure 1).</p><p>The second article suggesting a need to get the basics right concerns hospital-based documentation of allergy in electronic health records [<span>4</span>]. Qiyu et al. used freedom of information requests to ensure a high rate of response to their survey of public health system hospitals in the United Kingdom. They found widespread evidence of inadequate technological support in hospital systems for documenting known allergies in patients. A very wide variety of electronic reporting systems was used between, and even within, each hospital group. It was not uncommon to find hospitals using electronic systems which simply couldn't capture certain types of allergies—for example, over half of hospital trusts had no category for recording food allergy incidents. In their analyses, Qiyu et al. found associations between inadequate electronic reporting systems and incidents of patients being exposed to known allergens. They also carefully documented cases of harm caused by inadequate documentation at a single hospital trust, where th

This month, we highlight areas where attention to ‘the basics’ is all that is needed to improve the clinical care of people with allergies.</p><p>The first Editor's Choice article explores patterns of adrenaline auto-injector prescribing in England. Adrenaline auto-injectors are medical devices which aim to promptly reverse symptoms of anaphylaxis and potentially prevent fatal outcome. Their design, dosing, indications and effectiveness have all attracted debate and controversy [<span>1, 2</span>]. But since their licensing in 1989 they have become an allergy must-have item and a commercial success story. Although there is considerable uncertainty about dosing, it is likely that the treatment dose for larger, older children and adults should be higher than the dose for younger children. Michaelis et al. show us that in community practice, prescription of inappropriately low dose adrenaline auto-injectors is relatively common [<span>3</span>]. In an analysis of 2 years of prescribing data for England, the authors found over 1700 patients, mainly adults, were prescribed a low-dose (150 μg) adrenaline autoinjector. Using national resuscitation council guidance, they estimated that up to half of all 150 microgram prescriptions may have been underdosed. This adds to the known issue that in many regions there is no availability of 500 microgram adrenaline auto-injectors, meaning that ‘correct’ prescription of 300 microgram devices could also be considered to represent underdosing. Clearly further work is needed to ensure more robust prescribing guidance, but checking a patient's weight and the relevant adrenaline dose before issuing a repeat prescription seems like a relatively simple step for clinical practitioners to make (Figure 1).</p><p>The second article suggesting a need to get the basics right concerns hospital-based documentation of allergy in electronic health records [<span>4</span>]. Qiyu et al. used freedom of information requests to ensure a high rate of response to their survey of public health system hospitals in the United Kingdom. They found widespread evidence of inadequate technological support in hospital systems for documenting known allergies in patients. A very wide variety of electronic reporting systems was used between, and even within, each hospital group. It was not uncommon to find hospitals using electronic systems which simply couldn't capture certain types of allergies—for example, over half of hospital trusts had no category for recording food allergy incidents. In their analyses, Qiyu et al. found associations between inadequate electronic reporting systems and incidents of patients being exposed to known allergens. They also carefully documented cases of harm caused by inadequate documentation at a single hospital trust, where th","PeriodicalId":10207,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Allergy","volume":"56 1","pages":"4-6"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cea.70206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145854711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
