Abstract
The development of the new Dutch guideline on chronic urticaria started in 2014. In this multidisciplenary guideline, initiated by the NVDV, evidence for predefined outcomes were assessed using the EBRO and GRADE approach. This guideline discusses the nomenclature of CSU. In addition the guideline reviews the questionnaires designed to assess disease activity and quality of life in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU).The therapeutic options for chronic spontaneous urticaria and a treatment algorithm are also presented in the guideline. Furthermore, it discusses the collaboration between secondary care and general practitioners. In addition to this guideline, a patient version of this guideline and a summary will be developed in the near future.
