“…35 Given the results of this study, current guidelines should be reconsidered and possibly changed to enable family physicians to perform sIgE testing. Finally, when resources are used efficiently, appropriate patient referrals will provide more information to allergists, especially if these patients have had sIgE blood testing before their re-evaluation.…”

Aim: Patients with allergic rhinitis experience a multitude of symptoms that usually compromise some aspect of lifestyle. However, few data are available that specifically address the impact of allergic rhinitis on work productivity. Methods: A questionnaire was developed and mailed to 2,065 patients enrolled in a 500,000-member managed care organisation. Patients were identified by diagnostic codes for allergic rhinitis as determined by a retrospective examination of medical and prescription claims records from January 1 2000 to December 31 2000. Patients were divided into three different care groups according to whether they were managed by family physicians, by allergists, or were self-managed. Results: Chi-square and analysis of variance tests revealed significant differences among the three care groups (p<0.05) for years with allergies, symptoms, family history, testing, immunotherapy, test value, and prescribed antihistamine use. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that sleep, health, certain allergy symptoms and prescribed antihistamines were significantly related to work productivity. Conclusions:The results of this study revealed that the ability of individuals with allergic rhinitis to engage in productive work is influenced by sleep, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), specific symptoms, and prescribed antihistamine use.

38init ve rinosinüzitler sık karşılaşılan, çoğu zaman kronik seyirli olabilen hastalıklardır. Rinit genellikle burun tıkanıklığı, burun akın-tısı, burun kaşıntısı ve hapşırma gibi dört kardinal belirtiden bir ya da daha fazlasının eşlik ettiği, nazal mukozanın inflamasyonu ile karakterize bir hastalıktır.1 Rinosinüzit ise burun tıkanıklığı/konjesyon, burun akıntısı (anterior ya da posterior) belirtilerinin en az birinin bulunup, yüzde ağrı/basınç hissi ve/veya koku alma bozukluğu belirtilerinden en az birinin eşlik ettiği sinonazal mukozanın inflamatuar bir hastalığıdır.2 Alerjik rinit (AR) Amerika'da en sık görülen kronik hastalıktır ve yetişkinlerin %10-30'unu, pediatrik popülasyonun ise %42'sini etkilediği bildirilmektedir.

IntroductionSeasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR), commonly known as hayfever, is a common and growing challenge in Primary Care. Increasing numbers of patients present with symptoms [1] and suboptimal use of medication is widespread [2]. he reported incidence of SAR is between 2-15%, depending on the diagnostic criteria and population [3]. he prevalence of SAR in UK school children has increased since the 1960s [1,4,5] and the lifetime prevalence of SAR also continues to increase in adults [6]. his rising prevalence has been relected in increased use of health services. Consultations with general practitioners (GPs) have increased [1]: the number of patients of all ages consulting GPs for SAR in England and Wales (ICD9-477) doubled between 1971-1991 [6]. Between 1991 and 2004, Primary Care prescriptions for nasal allergy increased by over 60% (from 2.7 to 4.5 million/year) and ocular antiinlammatory prescriptions increased by 50% to 1.4 million/year [6]. While increases in prevalence statistics may relect increased patient awareness or altered diagnostic practice, the increase in prescriptions does conirm that more people are seeking treatment for SAR [7].Common symptoms of SAR include sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy eyes [2,8]. Despite the availability of a wide range of symptom-relieving medications, SAR can signiicantly afect suferers' perceived health and quality of life [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Only a minority of SAR patients report good symptom control, although this statistic may be skewed because many people with SAR (44%) do not consult a clinician [15]. Suboptimal use of medication and poor symptom control may result from not taking medications as...
