Factors Influencing Acceptance of Biologics and Small Molecule Targeted Drugs Among Patients with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: A Cross-Sectional Study
This study found that higher educational attainment, marital status, abstinence from alcohol, and a family history of CSU were associated with greater willingness to accept biologics and SMTD, while awareness of these therapies and perceptions of their safety and efficacy were the most influential determinants of treatment acceptance. These findings highlight the importance of improving patient awareness and providing clear, culturally tailored communication to support informed decision-making and facilitate the integration of biologics and SMTD into CSU management in China.
