Prevalence of potential nonallergic rhinitis at a community-based sleep medical center

Abstract: Regardless of presenting chief complaint and ultimate diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing, potential nonallergic rhinitis was common in patients at a sleep medical center at a rate possibly greater than twice that reported in the general population. Potential NAR+ was associated with worse sleep and distress symptoms. In both prevalence and treatment studies, research must further evaluate the potential impact of NAR on specific sleep disorders.

“…Nasal congestion is considered to be a major factor interfering with sleep quality and inducing daytime somnolence. Previous studies suggest that nasal obstruction contributes to higher risks of OSA [48][49][50] and SDB [51,52]. The role of nasal congestion as a risk factor for snoring has also been confirmed by a population-based cohort study [53].…”

“…To our knowledge, the prevalence of nasal obstruction in OSA has not been described previously. A previous retrospective study reported a prevalence of non‐allergic nasal obstruction of 45% in unselected sleepy patients (Krakow et al ., ). The Wisconsin Sleep Cohort reported nasal obstruction to be a risk factor for apneas, hypopneas and habitual snoring (Young et al ., ).…”

“…This finding is in line with a previous study that reported more insomnia problems in patients with undifferentiated sleep problems and nasal obstruction than in patients without these problems. However, it was a retrospective questionnaire study, and the patients were not diagnosed with OSA (Krakow et al ., ). It is possible that nocturnal nasal obstruction has an influence on late insomnia in OSA patients.…”

“…Congestion may lead to obstruction, which forces a switch to breathing from the mouth, thus increasing the total resistance and risk of sleep‐disordered breathing 59 . Indeed, it has been suggested that nasal obstruction secondary to AR contributes to sleep‐disordered breathing 60 and may be considered a risk factor for OSA in children 61 and adults 62 . This has potential for serious ramifications, as OSA has been linked to cardiovascular disease 63 .…”
