Sleep-related symptoms are extremely common in patients with allergic rhinitis. Sleep impairment is likely a major contributor to the overall disease morbidity, direct and indirect health care costs, and the loss of work productivity associated with allergic rhinitis. The association between allergic rhinitis and sleep, and the subsequent impact on disease-specific and general health quality of life measures, is well documented in large epidemiologic studies as well as controlled clinical trials. This article focuses on sleep disruption caused by allergic rhinitis, and the therapeutic and surgical options available to tackle the problem.
睡眠相关症状在过敏性鼻炎患者中极为常见。睡眠障碍很可能是导致该疾病总体发病率、直接和间接医疗保健成本以及与过敏性鼻炎相关的工作效率损失的主要因素。在大型流行病学研究以及对照临床试验中，过敏性鼻炎与睡眠之间的关联以及随后对疾病特异性和总体健康生活质量指标的影响都有充分记录。本文重点关注由过敏性鼻炎引起的睡眠中断，以及解决该问题的治疗和手术选择。
