Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how the number of allergens a person is sensitized to (monosensitized vs polysensitized) affects the severity and variety of symptoms in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR).
- - Results show that polysensitized patients reported more symptoms, especially itchy eyes and wheezing, compared to monosensitized patients, indicating that having multiple sensitivities leads to a greater symptom burden.
- - The research concludes that greater sensitization correlates with a wider range of symptoms and suggests that different levels of sensitization may affect various organs in the body.

Objectives: Polypharmacy and multimorbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent, with potential associations with worse COPD outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical characteristics and outcomes of polypharmacy, investigate the relationship of polypharmacy with health status and exacerbations and assess the prevalence of inappropriate medication (PIM), risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and drug-to-drug interactions in COPD patients.
Methods: A total of 245 COPD patients were enrolled from primary care in Crete, Greece.
