Influence of asthma on ARIA classification of allergic rhinitis in the French population-based cohort Constances

Conclusion: This is a paradigm changing study as, for the first time we show how taking asthma status into account modify ARIA classification. Moreover, it was done in a large population-based study in adults. This study confirms that rhinitis alone and rhinitis and asthma represent two entirely different phenotypes. This new classification should be used for new guidelines.
