Correlation between Allergic Rhinitis and Rhinosinusitis in ENT Outpatient Clinic Patients
Downloads
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional design. The samples were obtained by consecutive sampling. Adult patients above 19 years old with nasal discharge were examined by the doctors on duty and interviewed. Medical data obtained was recorded and analyzed using chi square test.
Results: From 98 patients, 17 patients (17.35%) had both rhinosinusitis and allergic rhinitis, 48 patients (48.98%) only had rhinosinusitis, and 13 patients (13.26%) only had allergic rhinitis. Patients who had neither rhinosinusitis nor allergic rhinitis reported to be 20 patients (20.41%). Chi square test showed that allergic rhinitis had no significant correlation with rhinosinusitis (p=0.266).
Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between allergic rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. Rhinosinusitis is a multifactorial disease.
