PG - 3515-3525.e4 LID - S2213-2198(23)00924-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jaip.2023.08.020 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) have spontaneous wheals (W), angioedema (AE), or both, for longer than 6 weeks. Clinical differences between patients with standalone W, standalone AE, and W and AE (W+AE) remain incompletely understood. OBJECTIVE: To compare W, AE, and W+AE CSU patients regarding demographics, disease characteristics, comorbidities, disease burden, and treatment response. METHODS: Baseline data from 3,698 CSU patients in the ongoing, prospective, international, multicenter, observational Chronic Urticaria REgistry (CURE) were analyzed (data cut: September 2022). RESULTS: Across all CSU patients, 59%, 36%, and 5% had W+AE, W, and AE, respectively. The W+AE patients, compared with W and AE patients, showed the lowest male-to-female ratio (0.33), higher rates of concomitant psychiatric disease (17% vs 11% vs 6%, respectively), autoimmune disease (13% vs 7% vs 9%, respectively), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) hypersensitivity (9% vs 5% vs 2%, respectively) and the highest disease impact. The W patients, compared with W+AE and AE patients, showed the lowest rates of concomitant hypertension (15% vs 21% vs 40%, respectively) and obesity (11% vs 16% vs 17%, respectively), the highest rate of concomitant inducible urticaria (24% vs 22% vs 6%, respectively), and shorter W duration. The AE patients, compared with W+AE and W patients, were older at disease onset, showed longer AE duration, and the best response to increased doses of H(1)-antihistamines (58% vs 24% vs 31%, respectively) and omalizumab (92% vs 67% vs 60%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide a better understanding of CSU phenotypes and may guide patient care and research efforts that aim to link them to pathogenic drivers. CI - Copyright (c) 2023.
