The Impact of Allergic Rhinitis on Asthma and Its Effect on the Quality of Life of Asthmatic Patients.

Background Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma are one of the most common diseases in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Asthma and AR patients report significant reductions in their daily activities due to this condition. Therefore, measuring health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in adult asthmatic and AR patients and evaluating the use of allergic rhinitis treatment modalities to improve asthma control may help prevent future respiratory complications, improve patient quality of life, and reduce morbidity.
