Expert Panel Consensus Recommendations for Allergic Rhinitis in Patients with Asthma in India
Allergic rhinitis and asthma are commonly coexisting conditions, significantly impacting patient health and quality of life. Despite their interrelation, diagnosing allergic rhinitis in patients with asthma remains challenging, leading to underdiagnosis and suboptimal management. The expert consensus engaged a modified Delphi method involving 29 experts including pulmonologists, ear, nose, and throat surgeons, and allergologists. Through group discussions, consensus statements were developed regarding the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of allergic rhinitis and asthma. Final consensus statements were formulated based on the experts' collective clinical judgment and experience. This expert consensus provides updated recommendations tailored to the Indian context, addressing the gaps in existing research and clinical practice. By promoting a systematic and evidence-based approach to diagnosis and management, this consensus aims to support clinicians in effectively identifying and treating allergic rhinitis in patients with asthma, thereby improving overall disease management and patient well-being.
