Although allergic rhinitis (AR) has not been acknowledged as a strong risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), several pathophysiological linkages between these two conditions have frequently been reported. However, epidemiological data relating to the prevalence of OSA in patients with AR remain scarce.The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of patients at high risk for OSA among patients with AR, and to determine the relationship between OSA and severity of AR.
