Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Occupational Health
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis frequently diminishes social engagement and professional effectiveness.
  • Assessing the real-world impact of allergic rhinitis on work productivity is crucial for patient well-being and economic factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effect of uncontrolled allergic rhinitis on work productivity using data collected via a mobile phone application.
  • To validate the use of visual analogue scale (VAS) data from a mobile app for assessing work impairment in allergic rhinitis patients.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study utilizing the 'Allergy Diary' mobile app to collect daily VAS data on allergic symptoms (global, nasal, ocular, asthma) and work impairment (VAS-work).
  • Data from 1136 users over 5818 days were analyzed, including correlations with the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Allergic Specific Questionnaire (WPAI:AS) in a subset of users.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 60% of days had controlled allergic rhinitis symptoms (VAS-global <20).
  • During uncontrolled rhinitis, over 90% of users reported work impairment, with more than 50% experiencing severe impairment (VAS-work >50).
  • Significant correlations were found between VAS-global and VAS-work (Rho=0.83, P<0.00001) and between VAS-work and WPAI:AS (Rho=0.53, P<0.0001).

Conclusions:

  • Mobile app-based VAS data provides a reliable method for assessing work impairment in individuals with allergic rhinitis.
  • Uncontrolled allergic rhinitis poses a substantial threat to work productivity, underscoring the need for effective symptom management.
