Rhinitis with Postnasal Drip Group
Among the 98 participants, 61.2% were grouped as “rhinitis with PND” while 38.8% were grouped as “rhinitis only”. The visual analogue scale for PND is58.87±26.14. The most common PND symptoms reported were feel drip (65.3%), followed by the fullness of nasopharynx (57.1%), hawking (51%) and intermittent cough (42.9%). The “rhinitis with PND” group has more participants with moderate to severe AR (85% vs 57.9%, p<0.01) and more severe VAS (65.82±23.94 vs 44.58±27.0, P<0.01). There were no significant differences between these two groups in terms of age, gender, duration, asthma, and usage of intranasal corticosteroids. (Table 1).
