Abstract

Aim of the study To evaluate if perennial non-infectious rhinitis is associated with sleep disturbances in asthma.Materials and methods This is a questionnaire based study in a random population sample from Denmark, Estonia, Iceland, Norway and Sweden aged 30-54yr. A total of 1127 individuals reporting asthma from an original random population sample of 16,191 were analysed regarding their quality of sleep in relation to perennial non-infectious rhinitis. Perennial non-infectious rhinitis was defined as having nasal symptoms such as nasal blockage and secretion in the absence of common cold, always. Asthma was defined as both ever having had asthma and having physician diagnosed asthma. Odds ratios (OR) for difficulties inducing sleep, difficulties maintaining sleep, early morning awakenings and daytime sleepiness were calculated in a multiple logistic regression controlling for other risk factors for sleep disturbances such as snoring, wheeze, obesity and smoking.Results The response rate was 74%. A total of 189 (17%) of the subjects with asthma reported perennial non-infectious rhinitis. Perennial non-infectious rhinitis was associated with an increased OR for difficulties maintaining sleep (1.6 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-2.3)), early morning awakenings (1.5 (95% CI 1.1-2.2)) and daytime sleepiness (1.8 (95% CI 1.2-2.9)). The result show that perennial non-infectious rhinitis is an independant risk factor for sleep disturbances in asthma.

  • There are a number of reports suggesting worsening of subjective sleep quality and quality of life measures in both adults and children with allergic and perennial rhinitis.

    “There are a number of reports suggesting worsening of subjective sleep quality and quality of life measures in both adults and children with allergic and perennial rhinitis 137.”

    From Non-CPAP therapies in obstructive sleep apnoea (2011) · cites this paper as [137]

    The Results and Discussion (page not available in our copy) associate perennial rhinitis with self-reported sleep disturbances in adults with asthma, and the Introduction describes prior findings for allergic rhinitis. The paper does not establish the claimed worsening of quality-of-life measures or address sleep and quality of life in children. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
