Prognostic Calculator of the Clinical Response to Antihistamines in Chronic Urticaria: External Validation
Background
Antihistamines (antiH1) are the first-line treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), but 40% to 60% of patients do not achieve clinical control with this therapy. Early identification of the non-responder patients could undergo prompt initiation of other therapies.
Objective
To achieve external validation of a prognostic calculator of clinical response to antiH1 in adult patients with CSU.
Methods
The prognostic calculator consisted of five variables easily accessible during clinical appointments (age, angioedema, anxiety or depression, duration of the disease, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug hypersensitivity, and urticaria activity score (UAS). Patients with CSU from four countries were evaluated before and after antihistamine administration. Calibration and discrimination were used to evaluate prognostic accuracy. The main outcome, clinical response to antihistamines, was evaluated with the UAS for 7 days (UAS7). Control was defined as a UAS7 score less than 6 and no control was defined as UAS7 greater than 7 points.
Results
A total of 542 patients were included. The prognostic model performance demonstrated consistency (accuracy of 78.6%; Hosmer-Lemeshow, 0.89; area under the curve, 0.829). The model correctly predicted 82.9% of patients with UAS7 greater than 7 and 72.7% of patients with UAS7 less than 6. Patients without antiH1 control had more frequent autoimmune disease and inducible urticaria, and patients with antiH1 control had higher levels of total IgE and a higher frequency of IgE anti-thyroperoxidase, IgE anti-eosinophil peroxidase and IgE anti-eosinophil cationic protein.
Conclusion
This prognostic calculator was demonstrated to be a useful tool in clinical practice for an early personalized therapeutic approach according to the individual probability of response with antihistamines, potentially reducing time with suboptimal treatments.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
