Prevalence of chronic urticaria and healthcare usage of patients with the condition in primary care: a population-based study in the Netherlands

We present a large population-based study on the prevalence and healthcare usage of patients with chronic urticaria (CU) in primary care. The observed annual point prevalence of 0.48–0.30% and a median follow-up duration of 1.5 years provides new and reliable insight into the vastness, relatively modest healthcare usage and estimated disease duration of CU in the general population, which is useful knowledge when counselling new patients with CU in both primary and specialist care settings.
