There are few published studies on prevalence of allergic rhinitis in preschool children. The aims of this study were to verify the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms in the first year of life adding supplementary questions to the EISL instrument. A cross-sectional study used Phase III EISL written questionnaire in addition to modified allergic rhinitis ISAAC questions. One thousand and three parents of infants answered the questionnaire: 484 (48.3%) had at least one sneezing, or a runny or blocked nose episodes without cold or flu in the first year of life. A quarter of infants had recurrent wheezing (≥3 episodes) and more frequent in the presence of AR symptoms. Physician diagnosis of AR and the use of intranasal steroids and both antihistamines and intranasal steroids were more common among those infants with AR symptoms. The prevalence of AR symptoms was high and starting early in life.
目前，有关学龄前儿童变应性鼻炎（AR）发病率的研究较少。本研究旨在通过 EISL 量表增加补充问题，以验证婴儿期第一年 AR 症状的发病情况、临床特征和治疗方法。本研究采用了横断面研究，除了改良的变应性鼻炎 ISAAC 问卷外，还使用了 EISL 第三阶段书面问卷。1031 名婴儿的家长回答了问卷：484 名（48.3%）婴儿在出生后的第一年至少出现过一次打喷嚏、流清涕或鼻塞，但无感冒或流感。四分之一的婴儿出现过反复喘息（≥3 次），且在出现 AR 症状时更为常见。有 AR 症状的婴儿中，医生诊断为 AR 以及使用鼻内皮质类固醇、抗组胺药和鼻内皮质类固醇的情况更为常见。AR 症状的发病率较高，且很早就开始出现。
