The association of alcohol consumption and immunoglobulin E (IgE) sensitization is debated. Few population-based studies have investigated whether such associations differ by sex. We explored the association of alcohol consumption with IgE sensitization in the general population, stratified by sex. We analyzed data for 1,723 adults from the 2010 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We divided subjects into three groups according to their self-reported alcohol consumption or serum level of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), an objective marker of alcohol consumption. After adjustments, the odds ratios (ORs) of male high-risk drinkers were 2.09 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34–3.28) for total IgE and 1.71 (95% CI, 1.03–2.83) for Dermatophagoides farinae (DF)-specific IgE compared with male low-risk drinkers. In females, the dog-specific IgE level was associated with high-risk drinking (OR, 11.74; 95% CI, 2.04–67.24). The ORs of males in the high-serum-GGT group were 2.73 (95% CI, 1.72–4.33) for total IgE and 2.17 (95% CI, 1.35–3.47) for DF-specific IgE compared with those in the low-serum-GGT group. This study suggests a possible link between alcohol consumption and IgE sensitization, moreover, the risk of IgE sensitization was significantly higher in male high-risk drinkers. Therefore, clinicians should consider the risk of IgE sensitization possibly afflicting male high-risk drinkers.

“…An inflammatory process conduces to sickness behaviour, such as fatigue, anhedonia, loss of appetite, and social withdrawal or loss of interest in social activities [30]. In Korean population-based, nationwide cross-sectional study, AR and/or rhinosinusitis showed a negative impact on quality of life measured EQ-5D questionnaire [29]. Bedolla-Barajas et al [31] in their study estimated that the risk of suicidal thoughts in people with AR reached 11.7% (in the general population the prevalence of this phenomenon was 9.2% [32]), however, when compared with the control group, no correlation was found between AR and the presence of suicidal thoughts.…”

Emotional distress and quality of life in allergic diseases

et al. 2020

Emotional disorders accompany many somatic diseases, especially ones with severe or chronic course, and such are allergic diseases. Long-term course of the disease, the need for chronic treatment and repeated exacerbations as well as symptoms of depression or anxiety have a significant impact on the quality of life of patients, constituting a serious burden both from the point of view of the individual and the society. The data evaluating emotional disturbances and their impact on the quality of life in three atopic diseases: bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis and seasonal rhinitis were analysed. Mood disorders as well as mental and behavioral disorders due to alcohol abuse are the most common psychiatric disorders observed in patients with bronchial asthma. There are data indicating a relationship between the occurrence of allergic rhinitis and mood disorders, anxiety disorders and suicidal tendencies. Atopic dermatitis is associated with an increased risk of depressive and anxiety disorders and sleep disorders, and in children with more prevalence of behavioral disorders. Most studies highlighted the relationship between emotional disorders and quality of life in the above-mentioned patient groups. In addition to physical ailments, patients suffering from allergic diseases also report emotional problems that can adversely affect the course of the disease, the treatment process, and reduce quality of life. Therefore, these patients require a holistic approach with a more accurate assessment of emotional disorders.

ObjectiveWhile general health may be influenced by sinonasal symptoms, their effects may be overshadowed by comorbid states which may be more serious. To assess the validity of this postulate, we measured the extent to which sinonasal symptoms and concurrent conditions influenced general health.Study DesignObservational outcomes study.SettingAcademic medical center, community care sites.MethodsAdults with sinonasal symptoms completed the 22‐item Sinonasal Outcome Test, along with the Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System global health short form. Comorbidities were categorized with the Deyo modification of the Charlson comorbidity index. Multivariate regression analyses were utilized to determine the relative impact of sinonasal symptoms and concurrent comorbid conditions on general health.ResultsData from 219 consecutive patients demonstrated that sinonasal symptoms were associated with significantly diminished general physical (β = −1.431, p < .001), mental (β = −1.000, p < .001), overall (β = −1.026, p < .001), and social health (β = −0.872, p = .003), regardless of the presence of potentially life‐threatening comorbid conditions. Comorbid conditions included cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, connective tissue disease, peptic ulcer, diabetes mellitus, and hepatic disease. The effect of sinonasal symptoms was neither subsumed nor overshadowed by the effects of comorbid states. Nasal, ear, sleep, and psychological domain scores were also associated with general physical, mental, and global health while adjusting for the impact of comorbidities.ConclusionSinonasal symptoms have a substantial effect on general health which is not subsumed by the presence of potentially life‐threatening concurrent comorbidities. These data may help support the importance of funding and resource allocation for conditions causing sinonasal symptoms.
