Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) predominantly affects individuals aged 20 to 40, with a prevalence of 0.5% to 1% in the general population. Women are twice as likely to be affected compared to men. The condition typically lasts 1 to 5 years, but can persist longer in severe cases. Clinical manifestations include wheals or hives and angioedema, which can vary significantly among individuals. These symptoms may differ in size, shape, and duration, and can be influenced by various factors, including individual patient characteristics and underlying conditions.

Panelists discuss how chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) affects approximately 0.5% to 1% of the population, predominantly impacting women and often presenting with variable wheals and angioedema.
