Abstract

Objective: Allergic-rhinitis (AR) is an IgE-mediated disease with negative effects on quality-of-life (QoL). Despite suggestive symptoms of AR, nonallergic- rhinitis (NAR) is a chronic condition with unclear characteristics and pathophysiology. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of exposure to allergen on rhinitis symptoms and QoL in patients with NAR. Materials and Methods: Patients with NAR (n= 25), AR (n= 16), and control group (n= 10) were compared, regarding generic (SF-36), and specific (MiniRQLQ) QoL, Epworth-Sleepiness-Scale (ESS) and nasal-provocation-test (NPT) with house-dustmite. Results: NPTs were resulted positive in all AR, in 52% of NAR patients and none in control group (p between AR&NAR: < 0.001). Before NPT, social, physical and emotional role domains of SF-36 were lower in NAR group than control group, whereas patients with AR had impairment only in social scores. NAR group had impairment in the general, activity limitation, practical problems and nasal symptoms of MiniRQLQ, while patients with AR had impairment in the general and nasal symptom scores of MiniRQLQ. Results of EUS were similar and in normal levels in all groups. After NPTs, the only change in QoL questionnaires was the impairment in the energy score of SF-36 in NAR group compared to others (p= 0.02). Conclusion: This study showed the impact of rhinitis on QoL was more prominent in NAR patients than AR. Furthermore, after exposure to allergen, rhinitis symptoms devepoed in some of the patients with NAR may be a reflection of atopy. The impact of NPT with allergen on QoL was negligible.

Özet

Giriş: Allerjik rinit (AR), IgE aracılı bir hastalık olup yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilemektedir. AR’a benzer şikayetleri olduğu halde, allerjik olmayan rinit (AOR) özellikleri ve mekanizması net olmayan kronik bir hastalıktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, AOR’li hastalarda allerjene temasın rinit şikayetlerine ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: AOR (n= 25), AR (n= 16) ve kontrol (n= 10) gruplarına, ev tozu akarı ile nazal provokasyon testi (NPT) yapılarak, genel (SF-36) ve rinite özel (MiniRQLQ) yaşam kalitesi anketleri ve Epworth Uykululuk Skalası (EUS) uygulandı. Bulgular: NPT, AR’lı hastaların hepsinde ve AOR’li hastaların %52’sinde pozitif sonuçlanırken (p< 0.001), kontrol grubu hastalarının tümünde negatifti. NPT öncesi, SF-36’nın sosyal, fiziksel ve duygusal rol bileşenleri AOR’li hastalarda kontrol grubuna göre daha düşük iken, AR’lı hastalarda sadece sosyal bileşen daha düşük bulundu. MiniRQLQ anketinde ise AOR grubunda genel, aktivite kısıtlaması, pratik problemler ve burun şikayetleri bileşenleri kontrol grubuna göre kötü iken, AR grubunun genel ve burun şikayetleri bileşenleri olumsuz yönde etkilenmişti. EUS sonuçları, tüm çalışma grubunda birbirine benzer ve normal sınırlardaydı. Allerjenle NPT sonrası, yaşam kalitesi anketlerinde sadece SF- 36’nın enerji bileşeni AOR’li hastalarda, AR ve kontrol grubuna göre daha düşük bulundu (p= 0.02). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, rinitin yaşam kalitesine etkisinin AOR hastalarında AR hastalarından daha belirgin olduğunu gösterdi. Ayrıca, bazı AOR hastalarının allerjenle temas sonrası AR hastalarına benzer rinit şikayetleri geliştirmesi, AOR’de atopinin rol oynayabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Allerjenle NPT’nin yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisi ise önemsiz sayılabilir.
