Prevalencia y características de la rinitis en pacientes asmáticos de las consultas de Atención Primaria, Alergología y Neumología en España (Estudio AIR)

Some 75% of our asthmatic patients had associated rhinitis and this association was more frequent in atopic subjects. There is a positive correlation between the severity of rhinitis and asthma and between the number of asthma exacerbations and the presence of rhinitis. These results support the main message of ARIA and GEMA recommendations regarding the integral management of airways to improve the control of asthma.
