Urticaria has a high socioeconomic burden worldwide. However, the global epidemiology of urticaria and its geographical and temporal trends are not well studied. Using the Global Burden of Disease dataset, the aim of this study was to analyse the age-standardized prevalence, incidence, years lived with disability, and mean duration of urticaria in 195 countries from 1990 to 2017. In addition, the relationship between socioeconomic development and urticaria was evaluat-ed. The global prevalence of urticaria in 2017 was 86 million people. Females and children aged 1-4 years were more commonly affected than males and adults, respectively: these differences were outside the 95% uncertainty intervals. Regression analyses show-ed that a lower gross domestic product per capita was associated with a higher prevalence and incidence of urticaria (p < 0.001). The global prevalence of urticaria, incidence, and years lived with disability have remained stable from 1990 to 2017.
荨麻疹在全球范围内具有较高的社会经济负担。然而，荨麻疹的全球流行病学及其地理和时间趋势尚未得到很好的研究。本研究使用全球疾病负担数据集，旨在分析 1990 年至 2017 年 195 个国家/地区的年龄标准化患病率、发病率、残疾年限和荨麻疹平均持续时间。此外，还评估了社会经济发展与荨麻疹之间的关系。2017 年全球荨麻疹患病率为 8600 万人。女性和 1-4 岁儿童的发病率高于男性和成年人，这些差异超出了 95%的不确定性区间。回归分析表明，人均国内生产总值较低与荨麻疹的患病率和发病率较高相关（p<0.001）。1990 年至 2017 年，全球荨麻疹的患病率、发病率和残疾年限保持稳定。
