CKS is no longer commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). NICE remains committed to providing a replacement service for CKS and is currently reviewing its options. In the meantime, although CKS content is now not being maintained, it still remains relevant and will continue to be made available. CKS content was generated under a programme of topic creation and update. To check if the topic you are viewing is current or out of date, please refer to the topic publication details by clicking on the 'How up-to-date is this topic?' link in the left hand menu on individual topic pages.
Urticaria - How up-to-date is this topic?
Changes
Version 1.2, revision planned in 2011.
Last revised in April 2007
April 2008 — minor update. Information included from the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI) guidelines for the management of chronic urticaria and angio-oedema (2007). Issued in May 2008.
January to April 2007 — this is a new CKS topic, replacing the PRODIGY guidance on Urticaria and angio-oedema. The evidence base has been reviewed in detail, and recommendations are more clearly justified and more transparently linked to the supporting evidence.
There are no major changes to the recommendations.
