| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to review the evidence on the epidemiology, physiopathology, categorization, and management of cholinergic urticaria. We specifically focused on several subtypes of cholinergic urticaria and investigated the relationship between cholinergic urticaria and idiopathic anhidrosis. Using an integrative approach, we reviewed publications addressing the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic approach, physiopathology, subtype classification, and therapeutic approach to cholinergic urticaria. Multiple mechanisms were found to contribute to the development of cholinergic urticaria. This disorder should be classified based on the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of each subtype. Such a classification system would lead to better management of this resistant condition. In particular, sweating function should be given more attention when examining patients with cholinergic urticaria. Because cholinergic urticaria is not a homogeneous disease, its subtype classification is essential for selection of the most suitable therapeutic method. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 December 2020.
All research outputs
#14,339,760
of 22,962,258 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Autonomic Research
#497
of 783 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#173,518
of 309,562 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Autonomic Research
#9
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,962,258 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 783 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 309,562 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
