The prevalence of urticaria is 15-20%. Women are twice as likely to be affected.
To present the epidemiology of urticaria and angioedema in Poland.
A questionnaire-based survey was conducted on a representative group of 4,897 individuals, aged 15-74 years.
A total of 11.2% of respondents reported at least one episode of urticaria symptoms in their life, and the frequency was higher in females (OR = 1.46; < 0.001). Single episodes accounted for 34.8%, while repeated episodes accounted for 65.2%. Acute urticaria was observed in 10.6% (more frequent in females; OR = 1.41; < 0.001), chronic in 0.6%. Median age of the first episode was 15 years. Angioedema was observed in 3.2%. The last episode of urticaria symptoms and/or angioedema occurred within the previous week in 0.7% of subjects, the last month in 1%, and the last year in 2.2%. 8.8% had experienced urticaria symptoms or angioedema over 1 year prior to the survey. The impact of urticaria symptoms on patients' daily activities was rated with 3.8 points on a scale of 0-10. In addition, chronic urticaria was rated 6.5, and acute urticaria 3.6. Angioedema and urticaria had a negative impact of 5.7 points.
Urticaria and angioedema are serious health problems in Poland, although their prevalence is below the mean rate for the global population. Females are more likely to suffer from these diseases. People affected by urticaria most frequently report contact with plants and substances, insect bites/stings, and food as the provoking factors.
荨麻疹的患病率为15% - 20%。女性受影响的可能性是男性的两倍。
介绍波兰荨麻疹和血管性水肿的流行病学情况。
对4897名年龄在15 - 74岁的具有代表性的人群进行了问卷调查。
共有11.2%的受访者报告一生中至少有一次荨麻疹症状发作，女性的发作频率更高（比值比=1.46；P<0.001）。单次发作占34.8%，而反复发作为65.2%。观察到急性荨麻疹的发生率为10.6%（女性更常见；比值比=1.41；P<0.001），慢性荨麻疹为0.6%。首次发作的中位年龄为15岁。血管性水肿的发生率为3.2%。0.7%的受试者在过去一周内出现过荨麻疹症状和/或血管性水肿的最后一次发作，1%在过去一个月内，2.2%在过去一年内。8.8%的人在调查前一年多曾经历过荨麻疹症状或血管性水肿。荨麻疹症状对患者日常活动的影响在0 - 10分的量表上评分为3.8分。此外，慢性荨麻疹评分为6.5分，急性荨麻疹为3.6分。血管性水肿和荨麻疹的负面影响评分为5.7分。
在波兰，荨麻疹和血管性水肿是严重的健康问题，尽管其患病率低于全球人口的平均水平。女性更容易患这些疾病。受荨麻疹影响的人最常报告接触植物和物质、昆虫叮咬/蜇伤以及食物为诱发因素。
