Abstract: Introduction: Rhinitis in general can be said as stuffy nose, which includes conditions like nasal obstruction, runny nose, postnasal drip, itchy nose, sneezing, watery red eyes, etc. It is mainly of allergic type or the non-allergic type. Allergic rhinitis is an IgE mediated immunological response of nasal mucosa to any airborne allergens which is characterized by typical features of rhinitis. Apnea is defined as the absence of breathing, which is obstructive, Central or mixed. Apnea during sleep causes hypoxia and retention of carbon dioxide causing pulmonary construction which leads to congestive heart failure, bradycardia or cardiac hypoxia. Our study was an effort to establish the prevalence of Obstructive sleep apnea in allergic rhinitis patients. Objective: To assess the allergic rhinitis patient and find the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in allergic rhinitis patients using questionnaires. Methodology: It is a retrospective study done on allergic rhinitis patients using questionnaires. The study is done at ENT OP in a Tertiary health care center. A total of 100 allergic rhinitis patients is taken into consideration. First, they were assessed using audit allergic rhinitis questionnaire. Then using Berlin questionnaire, the patients were evaluated for the risk of developing Obstructive sleep apnea. Result: There is a statistical significance between allergic rhinitis and obstructive sleep apnea. The allergic patients having the troublesome score of 6 – 10 have significant association of developing obstructive sleep apnea with the p value of 0.002641098. There is significant association between obesity and development of Obstructive sleep apnea with the p value of 0.000798056. But there is no significant association between gender and the development of Obstructive sleep apnea with the p value of 0.094815092. Conclusion: The statistical significance between severity of allergic rhinitis and risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea has been proven by the p value. There is significant relationship between obesity and development of Obstructive sleep apnea. Furthermore, studies have to be done in the future to confirm its practical correlations and its applications.
Keywords: Allergic rhinitis, Obstructive sleep apnea, Snoring, Obesity, Berlin questionnaire.
