Allergic Rhinitis is a common Ear, Nose and Throat disorder. Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis are diseases with similar underlying mechanism and pathogenesis. The aim of this survey was to highlight current treatment trends for Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma.
A questionnaire was emailed to all registered consultant members of the British Association of Otorhinolaryngologists - Head and Neck Surgeons regarding the management of patients with Allergic Rhinitis and related disorders.
Survey response rate was 56%. The results indicate a various approach in the investigation and management of Allergic Rhinitis compatible with recommendations from the Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Asthma guidelines in collaboration with the World Health Organisation.
A combined management approach for patients with Allergic Rhinitis and concomitant Asthma may reduce medical treatment costs for these conditions and improve symptom control and quality of life.
变应性鼻炎是一种常见的耳鼻喉疾病。哮喘和变应性鼻炎是具有相似潜在机制和发病机制的疾病。本次调查的目的是突出变应性鼻炎和哮喘当前的治疗趋势。
通过电子邮件向英国耳鼻喉科医师协会 - 头颈外科的所有注册顾问成员发送了一份关于变应性鼻炎及相关疾病患者管理的问卷。
调查回复率为56%。结果表明，在变应性鼻炎的调查和管理中采用了多种方法，这与变应性鼻炎及其对哮喘的影响指南与世界卫生组织合作提出的建议相符。
针对变应性鼻炎合并哮喘患者的联合管理方法可能会降低这些疾病的医疗费用，并改善症状控制和生活质量。
