Category
Detail
Condition
Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU)
Key Mechanisms
Recurring itchy wheals and/or angioedema lasting more than 6 weeks without identifiable external triggers.
Target Population
Patients with CSU in China, approximately 18 million affected.
Care Setting
Routine clinical practice in China.
Key Highlights
35% of treated patients report inadequate disease control (UCT < 12).
84% of patients consider complete symptom control highly important, but only 16% find it achievable.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is used by 38% of patients alongside conventional treatments.
Only 7% of patients recommended advanced therapies actually utilize them.
51% of patients escalating antihistamine doses experience new side effects.
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Self-reported physician-confirmed diagnosis of CSU.
Management
Second-generation H1-antihistamines as first-line therapy, with dose escalation if necessary, followed by biologic treatment and ciclosporin.
Monitoring & Follow-up
Assessment of disease control through Urticaria Control Test (UCT).
Risks
Potential side effects from antihistamine dose escalation, including drowsiness.
Patient & Prescribing Data
Patients with CSU in China, aged 18 and older.
Patients actively seek complementary therapies, with significant barriers to accessing effective treatments.
Clinical Best Practices
Implement structured follow-up schedules to improve disease management.
Enhance treatment access and affordability to align with patient needs.
Consider patient-reported outcomes in treatment planning.
