Allergic rhinitis facts from an Irish pediatric population.
Objective: Assessing the main allergens in the pediatric population from the largest urban area in the country.
Methods: Clinical letters of patients referred with possible allergic rhinitis (AR) were retrospectively reviewed over the past 5 years.
Results: Five hundred and fifty-five patients were included. Males suffer twice as often with AR than females and have high titers of allergens. House dust mites (44.7%) and grass pollen (29%) were the main allergens in our area, with 48% of patients sensitized to both allergens. Half of the patients had the diagnosis of AR confirmed with positive allergen-specific tests. For the other half, the diagnosis was based on a clinical assessment performed by a pediatric otolaryngologist.
Conclusions: Half of suspected AR children have environmental allergen sensitivity confirmed by testing, and a large number had a clinical diagnosis of AR after an otolaryngology consultation. Our findings can help clinicians to initiate AR treatment considering the most problematic allergens in the area.
期刊介绍：
The Annals of Statistics aim to publish research papers of highest quality reflecting the many facets of contemporary statistics. Primary emphasis is placed on importance and originality, not on formalism. The journal aims to cover all areas of statistics, especially mathematical statistics and applied & interdisciplinary statistics. Of course many of the best papers will touch on more than one of these general areas, because the discipline of statistics has deep roots in mathematics, and in substantive scientific fields.
