PREG-CU: Pregnancy and Chronic Urticaria: characteristics and outcomes of pregnancy in chronic urticaria patients
As of now, there is sparse knowledge about the course of Chronic Urticaria during pregnancy in the literature. The aim of this project is to analyze both the impact of pregnancy on the course of chronic urticaria as well as the drugs taken during this period and outcomes of the pregnancy.
Study type: Questionnaire
Project Lead: Emek Kocatürk
Steering Committee: Marcus Maurer, Ana Gimenez-Arnau, Laurence Bouillet, Zuotao Zhao, Petra Staubach
The study results will be presented at an international congress (preferably at the EADV or EAACI) and they will be submitted for publication, e.g. in ALLERGY. To become a coauthor, you need to include at least 10 patients to the study and contribute to the interpretation of the results and the development of the manuscript. The sequence of coauthors, in authors who contributed equally to data interpretation and manuscript development will be based on the number of patients included.
Deadline: 30.07.2019
