Global burden of urticaria in children and adolescents, 1990 to 2021: Trends, disparities, and future projections.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to analyze the global, regional, and national burden of urticaria among individuals under 20 years old using 2021 global burden of disease data. Data on prevalence, incidence, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of urticaria in children and adolescents from 1990 to 2021 were extracted. The estimated annual percentage change was calculated to assess temporal trends. The sociodemographic index (SDI) was used to evaluate regional differences, and Bayesian age-period-cohort modeling was applied to predict future trends. From 1990 to 2021, global age-standardized prevalence (ASPR), incidence (ASIR), and DALY rates of urticaria showed marginal changes. In 2021, ASPR was 1203.16 per 100,000, ASIR was 2142.29 per 100,000, and DALY rate was 73.75 per 100,000. The estimated a
