Physician estimation of the prevalence and clinical impact of chronic urticaria: results of the global, multicenter UCARE CU-PAPER study
Although physicians' estimations of CU prevalence and burden generally align with literature data, non-UCARE physicians may underestimate the burden and overestimate the prevalence. This might affect CU management in primary care potentially leading to a less effective treatment and underscores the need for increased urticaria awareness among non-UCARE physicians via publications, masterclasses, webinars, or other educational initiatives.
