ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the distribution of common allergens and indoor factors influencing the severity of allergic rhinitis in patients from the Chaoshan region.Methods:
Patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis from Shantou, Jieyang, and Chaozhou were selected for serum allergen-specific IgE testing. A questionnaire survey was conducted to analyze the distribution of allergens and indoor factors affecting the severity of the disease.Results:
A total of 1 800 questionnaires were collected, with 1 646 valid responses, resulting in an effective response rate of 91.4%. Among the 1 646 included patients with allergic rhinitis, there were 1 285 childrenï¼≤14 yearsï¼ ï¼361 adolescents and adultsï¼>14 yearsï¼ï¼of which 999 were males and 647 were females. The top three allergens with the highest positive rates were house dust mitesï¼n=1 457, 88.5%ï¼, milkï¼n=569, 34.6%ï¼, and crabï¼n=360, 21.9%ï¼. The proportions of allergen sensitization to house dust mites, house dust, dog dander, egg white, milk, fish, crab, shrimp, and beef showed statistically significant differences between children and adolescents and adultsï¼P<0.01ï¼. There were also statistically significant differences in crab and shrimp sensitization between males and femalesï¼P<0.01ï¼. Multivariate analysis revealed that active/passive smoking, religious rituals, air conditioning usage, pet ownership, air purifier usage, and bedding drying were indoor factors influencing the severity of allergic rhinitis. Among them, active/passive smoking, religious rituals, air conditioning usage, and pet ownership were risk factors for exacerbating the disease, while air purifier usage and bedding drying were protective factors.Conclusion:
House dust mites are the most common allergen in patients with allergic rhinitis in the Chaoshan region. Active/passive smoking, religious rituals, air conditioning usage, and pet ownership can worsen the condition, while air purifier usage and bedding drying can help control the disease. The results of this study can provide clinical reference.Palabras clave
