Abstract

The prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) is on the increase and this condition is frequently associated with asthma, thus leading to the concept that these two conditions are different aspects of the same disease. There is now accumulating evidence that AR often precedes the onset of asthmatic symptoms. This notion has important implications, not only for the diagnosis and management of these common allergic conditions but also for the potential progression of disease. Very little is known about the risk factors responsible for the progression of AR to asthma; current treatment options can control symptoms but do not prevent or cure the disease. However, there are recent data supporting the notion that it is possible to prevent new asthma cases by modifying the immune response and clinical outcome with allergen immunotherapy. This review article evaluates the impact of AR on the development of asthma, examines putative predictors for the progression of AR to asthma, and reviews recent, promising literature suggesting that early treatment of allergic individuals with immunotherapy may aid in asthma prevention.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 October 2015.
All research outputs
#12,891,407
of 22,739,983 outputs
Outputs from Current Allergy and Asthma Reports
#460
of 803 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#156,174
of 304,956 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Allergy and Asthma Reports
#11
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,739,983 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 803 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 304,956 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
