Abstract
Introduction (contexte de la recherche)
Angioedema in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) has a substantial impact on patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and remains underdiagnosed.
Objective
The objective of this study was to assess the burden of angioedema associated with CSU among patients in EU5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom) and the US.
Methods
Data from 2020 EU5 and 2019 US nationally representative surveys of patient-reported outcomes were analyzed. Adult with a physician diagnosis of CSU reported if they experienced angioedema in the past 3 months and were categorized into YES-ANGIO and NO-ANGIO groups. Disease control was assessed using Urticaria Control Test (UCT). Burden associated with angioedema was assessed using several questionnaires including General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Healthcare resource utilization was reported in emergency room (ER) visits and hospitalizations in the past 6 months. Bivariate analyses were conducted.
Results
Among 379 respondents with CSU in EU5 and 371 in the US, YES-ANGIO represented 24.0% and 38.3% of each cohort while NO-ANGIO represented 76.0% in EU5 and 61.7% in the US. Less than 8.0% of the YES-ANGIO patients had well controlled CSU (UCT ≥ 12) compared to > 40.0% of patients with NO-ANGIO (P < 0.001 for EU5 and US). The % of respondents reporting mild/moderate/severe anxiety (GAD-7 ≥ 5) and depression (PHQ-9 ≥ 5) were significantly higher among the YES-ANGIO group compared to NO-ANGIO (EU5: GAD-7: 95.6% vs. 63.2%, and PHQ-9: 94.5% vs. 66.7%; P < 0.001). The mean [SD] DLQI score was significantly higher (worse HRQoL) for YES-ANGIO patients versus NO-ANGIO (EU5: 17.6 [7.4] vs. 4.2 [5.9] P < 0.001). YES-ANGIO patients compared to NO-ANGIO reported a significantly higher ER visits (EU5: 75.8% vs. 22.2% P < 0.001) and hospitalizations (EU5: 72.5% vs. 11.8% P < 0.001) in past six months.
Conclusions
This real-world study shows that angioedema among CSU patients is associated with high humanistic and economic burden, with significantly higher % with anxiety and depression along with significantly higher healthcare resource utilization compared to patients without angioedema.
期刊介绍:
La Revue Française d''Allergologie : un véritable forum pour faire connaître des travaux originaux et permettre la diffusion de l''information auprès de toutes les spécialités concernées par les pathologies allergiques. La Revue Française d''Allergologie (8 numéros par an) est au carrefour de nombreuses spécialités - dermatologie, pédiatrie, ORL, pneumologie, ophtalmologie, médecine interne - qui, toutes, ont à traiter des maladies allergiques. Les symptômes des allergies fondés sur des mécanismes communs sont le plus souvent associés et se succèdent chez un même patient. En forte progression depuis 20 ans, les maladies allergiques sont dans l''attente de perfectionnements et d''avancées thérapeutiques qui permettront aux nombreux patients qui en sont atteints de mieux vivre avec leurs allergies. La Revue Française d''Allergologie se veut donc un véritable forum de discussions et d''échanges entre tous les spécialistes confrontés aux pathologies
