There is a lack of recent studies on the burden of this disease in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This article reported the incidence, prevalence, and disability\u2010adjusted life years (DALYs) of urticaria from 1990 to 2021 in the MENA region, by age, sex, and socio\u2010demographic index (SDI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrieved data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2021 on the incidence, prevalence, and DALYs due to urticaria in the MENA region. They were estimated using the DisMod\u2010MR 2.1 tool. The values were presented as total counts and age\u2010standardized rates per 100,000 individuals alongside their 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In 2021, the age\u2010standardized incidence rate was 1649.2 (95% UI: 1452.7\u20131854.3), the point prevalence was 936.1 (95% UI: 825.8\u20131058.6) and the DALY rate was 56.1 (95% UI: 36.8\u201379.2) per 100,000 in MENA region, with no significant changes since 1990. Egypt displayed the highest burden of urticaria, while Turkey had the lowest one. The incident cases and rates were highest in younger ages with the peak observed in children under\u20105 years old with higher incidence in women across all ages. Countries with mid\u2010level SDI had the highest age\u2010standardized DALY rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, the burden of urticaria has not changed significantly since 1990.
