An Indian Cross-Sectional Study to Evaluate In-Clinic Allergic Rhinitis Prevalence in Patients Having Nasal Symptoms Using the SFAR Questionnaire
The in-clinic prevalence of AR in patients with nasal symptoms, as indicated by the SFAR questionnaire, is substantially high in India. A positive family history, indoor dust exposure, nasal symptoms, the months of October to January, and females were strongly linked to AR in Indian patients. The SFAR score is an effective in-clinic screening tool to support early AR diagnosis and management in India.
