Allergic rhinitis (AR) is associated with significant decreases in quality of life and productivity losses. We hypothesized that symptoms of AR may differentially associate with lost productivity due to AR. We performed a cross-sectional cohort study of 105 prospectively recruited patients with persistent AR. AR control, severity of depressed mood, and sinonasal symptoms were assessed with the Rhinitis Control Assessment Test (RCAT), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2), and the 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), respectively. Lost productivity was assessed by asking the number of days of work/school missed due to AR in the last 3months. Patients missed a mean of 1.5days (SD:2.9) of work or school. Lost productivity was associated with PHQ-2 (adjusted linear regression coefficient []=.68, 95% CI: 0.20-1.15, P=.007) analysis but not SNOT-22 or RCAT scores. Productivity losses due to AR are associated with severity of depressed mood rather than classic nasal or extra-nasal symptoms of AR.
