The ability to diagnose, classify, and treat HAE-nl-C1INH, however, continue to present daunting clinical challenges. In the following article we have attempted to summarize current areas of scientific consensus as well as provide some insights envisioned to assist physicians caring for affected individuals. Coherently describing the field of HAE-nl-C1INH in many ways embodies a precarious balance between assertions anchored by data versus conjecture. In this Rostrum we have tried to encapsulate the numerous scientific developments over the past 25 years into a proposed classification schema intended to facilitate decisions when evaluating patients with recurrent angioedema. Founded upon an accurate diagnosis in conjunction with an appreciation of the underlying pathomechanism, targeted patient treatment strategies can be appropriately designed. It is hoped that this approach will lay the groundwork for future advances in our understanding of HAE-nl-C1INH while bringing patients ever closer to the goal of leading a normal life.</p>","PeriodicalId":51323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology-In Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143588147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The five domains of SDOH (economic stability, education access and quality, health care access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context) shape the lived experiences of individuals with FA. Challenges such as food insecurity, limited access to specialty care, and the high cost of allergen-free foods disproportionately burden under-resourced and marginalized populations, leading to gaps in care and adverse outcomes. This report explores the interplay between SDOH and FA management, focusing on the economic, emotional, and social barriers to optimal care. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of understanding domain-specific QOL, emphasizing tailored interventions to address inequities. Future research must prioritize inclusive representation in clinical trials, innovative strategies to overcome economic and systemic barriers, and tools to measure the unique QOL impacts of FA across diverse populations.
