荨麻疹和血管性水肿是常见的临床病症，是医生和患者的主要关注点。世界过敏组织 (WAO) 认识到这些疾病的重要性，为之前的荨麻疹诊断和治疗指南做出了贡献。 WAO 科学和临床问题委员会提议制定这份全球立场文件，通过来自世界所有 WAO 地区的知名专家的参与，进一步加强这些疾病的临床管理。关于定义和分类、患病率、病因和发病机制、诊断、治疗和预后的章节均基于目前可获得的最佳科学证据。本文件还纳入了专门讨论儿童和孕妇荨麻疹和血管性水肿、生活质量和患者报告结果以及身体荨麻疹的其他章节。预计本文将通过 WAO 指定的专家小组的贡献补充最新的国际指南，提高人们对荨麻疹和血管性水肿在医疗实践中重要性的认识，并将成为全球最佳患者管理的有用信息来源。
Urticaria and angioedema are common clinical conditions representing a major concern for physicians and patients alike. The World Allergy Organization (WAO), recognizing the importance of these diseases, has contributed to previous guidelines for the diagnosis and management of urticaria. The Scientific and Clinical Issues Council of WAO proposed the development of this global Position Paper to further enhance the clinical management of these disorders through the participation of renowned experts from all WAO regions of the world. Sections on definition and classification, prevalence, etiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis are based on the best scientific evidence presently available. Additional sections devoted to urticaria and angioedema in children and pregnant women, quality of life and patient-reported outcomes, and physical urticarias have been incorporated into this document. It is expected that this article will supplement recent international guidelines with the contribution of an expert panel designated by the WAO, increasing awareness of the importance of urticaria and angioedema in medical practice and will become a useful source of information for optimum patient management worldwide.
