Abstract
Background
Angioedema (AE) manifests with intermittent, localized, self-limiting swelling of the subcutaneous and/or submucosal tissue. AE is heterogeneous, can be hereditary or acquired, occurs only once or be recurrent, with or without wheals, due to mast cell mediators, bradykinin or other mechanisms. Currently, different taxonomic systems are used, making it difficult to compare the results of studies, develop multicenter collaboration, and harmonize treatments of AE patients.
Objective
To develop a consensus on the definition, acronyms, nomenclature, and classification of angioedema (DANCE).
Methods
The initiative involved 91 experts from 35 countries and was endorsed by 53 scientific, medical societies, and patient organizations. A consensus was reached by online discussion and voting using the Delphi process over a period of 16 months (June 2021 to November 2022).
Results
The DANCE initiative resulted in an international consensus on the definition, classification and terminology of AE. The new consensus classification features five types and endotypes of AE and a harmonized vocabulary of abbreviations and acronyms.
Conclusion
The DANCE classification complements current clinical guidelines and expert consensus recommendations on the diagnostic workup and treatment of AE. DANCE does not replace current clinical guidelines and expert consensus algorithms and should not be misconstrued in a way that affects reimbursement of medicines prescribed by a physician using sound clinical judgment. We anticipate that the new AE taxonomy and nomenclature will harmonize and facilitate AE research and clinical studies, thereby improving patient care.
