Abstract

Background: Although the understanding of the pathophysiology and pharmacology of rhinitis has increased within recent years, few studies have examined the impact of rhinitis on patients’ behaviour. Aim: To compare perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) and perennial nonallergic rhinitis (PNR) in terms of patients’ perception of their disease and its psychosocial concomitants. Methods: Thirty‐one PAR patients and 32 PNR patients responded to a standard symptom list and were interviewed in‐depth regarding their complaints and the impact of rhinitis on their daily lives. Results: PAR and PNR patients reported similar somatic and psychosocial complaints. In both disease groups the adverse effects of rhinitis were reported to be substantially limiting, particularly in social contacts, the impact appearing to be more severe in the women. Conclusion: Rhinitis has a severe impact on the daily lives of patients, women reporting more severe psychosocial effects. Disease perception and social adjustment appear to not depend appreciably on whether or not an objective diagnosis of rhinitis can be established.

  • The basis for the female predilection in alcohol-induced nasal symptoms is not well understood.

    “but the basis for this predilection is not well understood.168-170”

    From International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Allergic Rhinitis (2018) · cites this paper as [169]

    The Results (page unavailable) report that women with persistent rhinitis described more severe symptoms and psychosocial effects than men. Our copy does not address female predilection for alcohol-induced nasal symptoms or whether its basis is understood (searched: alcohol-induced nasal symptoms, alcohol, drinking, and sex differences).

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.
