Exploring the real-world profile of refractory and non-refractory chronic idiopathic urticaria in the USA: clinical burden and healthcare resource use.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CIU/CSU in this real-world study - particularly those with refractory CIU/CSU - were slow to receive specialist care and had substantial symptom burdens; patient-physician perception of disease severity was discordant. Earlier diagnosis of CIU/CSU may lead to timely use of CIU/CSU therapies. PMID: 30793986 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
