Abstract
Background: To date, a limited number of studies have reported on the natural course and prognostic factors of chronic urticaria (CU) among children aged < 2 years.
Objective: In this study, we delineated the characteristics and natural history of CU in children aged < 2 years, with an additional aim of identifying prognostic factors closely associated with CU.
Methods: This study included children aged < 2 years who had CU between May 2019 and June 2023. The clinical data and laboratory results of these children were retrieved from their medical records or through telephone interviews.
Results: The study population comprised 111 children with a median age of 16.30 (0.3–24) months at onset. Remission rates at 6, 12, and 36 months after the onset of CU were 36.08%, 51.55%, and 77.32%, respectively. After the sex and age at onset were adjusted, multivariate regression analysis revealed that allergic conjunctivitis was a risk factor for CU (ORadjusted = 5.14 [95% CI, 1.03–28.52]).
Conclusion: The course of CU in children aged < 2 years is relatively short, with most children having a favorable outcome. Allergic conjunctivitis serves as a risk factor for CU in this age group.
期刊介绍:
Dermatologic Therapy has been created to fill an important void in the dermatologic literature: the lack of a readily available source of up-to-date information on the treatment of specific cutaneous diseases and the practical application of specific treatment modalities. Each issue of the journal consists of a series of scholarly review articles written by leaders in dermatology in which they describe, in very specific terms, how they treat particular cutaneous diseases and how they use specific therapeutic agents. The information contained in each issue is so practical and detailed that the reader should be able to directly apply various treatment approaches to daily clinical situations. Because of the specific and practical nature of this publication, Dermatologic Therapy not only serves as a readily available resource for the day-to-day treatment of patients, but also as an evolving therapeutic textbook for the treatment of dermatologic diseases.
