Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in Allergic Rhinitis Symptom Severity (SNOT-22 Score)
This outcome measures the long-term change in allergic rhinitis symptom severity over several years using the Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22). The SNOT-22 is a validated tool that assesses the impact of sinonasal conditions on quality of life. The study will track the effects of help-seeking behaviors for both allergies and mental health (anxiety and depression) on allergic rhinitis symptom control, examining changes in SNOT-22 scores over multiple follow-up periods. Scores range from 0 to 110, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms and lower quality of life.
