[Is it possible for chronic urticaria diagnostic approach to be simplified? A clinical data checklist].

Background: Existing clinical guidelines do not offer an efficient alternative for the collection of data on relevant clinical traits during history and physical of the patient with chronic urticaria.

Objective: Our aim was to provide a clinical data checklist together with its guide to allow for thorough information to be obtained and for a physical exam that identifies the main features and triggering factors of the disease to be carried out.

Methods: A search was conducted for relevant literature on chronic urticaria in Medline, the Cochrane library and PubMed.

Checklist for a complete chronic urticaria medical history: an easy tool.

Background: Existing guidelines do not offer a quick, efficient alternative to the patient's recollection of relevant clinical features during anamnesis and physical examination for chronic urticaria (CU). This study aimed to identify specific items reflecting the main characteristics of CU that should be included in a comprehensive medical history for patients with CU. We also aimed to clarify possible eliciting factors for CU to support accurate diagnosis of the disease.
