“…Also, in other studies in the literature, a mild-moderate correlation was observed between the severity of AR symptom and the quality of life (18,19). Since RQLQ is more of a symptom-based questionnaire, the presence of a correlation with symptom score is an expected result.…”

Objective:In this study, we aimed to evaluate coexistent allergic conjunctivitis with allergic rhinitis in Van province and the patients' quality of life in this region. Methods:A total of 94 patients who were admitted to the Otorhinolaryngology Clinics of Van Province Training and Research Hospital and Erciş State Hospital were included in this study. All patients underwent an ophthalmologic evaluation for coexistent allergic conjunctivitis. Moreover, allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis symptom scoring was applied to all patients. The rhinoconjunctivitis quality-of-life scale (RQLQ) was used to assess quality of life in all patients.Results: Mean total symptom score was found to be 12.1±4.2. In 37.2% of patients, coexistent allergic conjunctivitis was diagnosed. Scores of RQLQ sleep, non-hay fever complaints, nasal and ophthalmic complaints, and restricted activities were significantly higher in the group with coexistent allergic conjunctivitis than in the group with no allergic conjunctivitis. Conclusion:Patients with allergic rhinitis must be evaluated by taking the places where they live into account. It is crucial that the treatment procedures of particularly patients with ophthalmic complaints should be planned after they are examined by an ophthalmologist. It should be kept in mind that patients with allergic rhinitis must also be examined by a psychiatrist when necessary.

“…35 As mentioned by Thompson et al, allergic rhinitis does not have an impact only on psychological status but also on mood and cognition. 36 It has been demonstrated that children with allergic rhinitis have learning deficits, distraction, fatigue and irritability, all of which can deteriorate school performance. [36][37][38] In the present study, VKC-positive children were found to have higher attention problems, and 3 VKC patients received ADHD diagnosis.…”

“…36 It has been demonstrated that children with allergic rhinitis have learning deficits, distraction, fatigue and irritability, all of which can deteriorate school performance. [36][37][38] In the present study, VKC-positive children were found to have higher attention problems, and 3 VKC patients received ADHD diagnosis. However, the most striking result is the higher attention problems in VKC patients as compared to controls, which is parallel to Thompson et al's findings.…”

“…AR, immunolojik ve diğer kronik hastalıklar arasında en sık görülen hastalık olup, gelişmiş toplumlarda, nufusun % 10-30'unu etkilemekte ve insidansı giderek artmaktadır (1). Allerjik rinit hayatı tehdit etmemekle birlikte, semptomları nedeni ile kişilerin fiziksel, sosyal ve emosyonel aktivitelerini dolayısı ile yaşam kalitelerini olumsuz yön-de etkilemektedir (2). Prevalansının yüksek olması ve hayat kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerinden dolayı AR major respiratuvar hastalık olarak sınıflandırılmaktadır.…”
