To determine the prevalence of nasal polyposis among allergic patients, and to investigate the impact of polyposis on allergic inflammatory markers.
The cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2018 to January 2019 at the Asthma and Allergy Centre, Babylon, Iraq, and comprised patients aged 15-71 years with allergic asthma and or allergic rhinitis. The patients were divided into two groups; A with nasal polyposis, and B without nasal polyposis. Other than demographical data, total serum immuglobulin E, and blood eosinophil percentage were collected. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.
Of the 240 patients, 81(33.8%) were in group A, and 159(66.2%) were in group B. The overall mean age of the sample was 35.9±13.8 years. The overall mean immunoglobulin E level was 221±141 and the mean peripheral eosinophil percentage was 4±1.68. Prevalence of nasal polyposis increased with age (p<0.05), but was not affected by gender or residency (p>0.05). The markers increased significantly in the presence of polyposis in patients with respiratory allergy (p<0.05).
Nasal polyposis was found to be highly prevalent in patients with respiratory allergy and the combined presence of these two diseases caused additional increment in allergic markers.
确定变应性患者中鼻息肉的患病率,并研究鼻息肉对变应性炎症标志物的影响。
本横断面研究于 2018 年 1 月至 2019 年 1 月在伊拉克巴比伦的哮喘和过敏中心进行,纳入年龄在 15-71 岁之间的过敏性哮喘和/或过敏性鼻炎患者。将患者分为两组;A 组有鼻息肉,B 组无鼻息肉。除了人口统计学数据外,还收集了总血清免疫球蛋白 E 和血嗜酸性粒细胞百分比。使用 SPSS 22 进行数据分析。
在 240 名患者中,81 名(33.8%)在 A 组,159 名(66.2%)在 B 组。样本的总体平均年龄为 35.9±13.8 岁。总体平均免疫球蛋白 E 水平为 221±141,外周血嗜酸性粒细胞百分比平均为 4±1.68。鼻息肉的患病率随年龄增长而增加(p<0.05),但不受性别或居住地影响(p>0.05)。在呼吸道过敏患者中,存在鼻息肉时标志物显著增加(p<0.05)。
鼻息肉在呼吸道过敏患者中发病率很高,这两种疾病同时存在会导致过敏标志物的进一步增加。
