Abstract
pollen sensitive patients accounted for 48.54% (13 325/27 449) of AR. We also found that the number of outpatients diagnosed with AR is strongly correlated with seasonal airborne pollen concentration and is influenced by meteorological factors, such as temperature and humidity. These results may help clinicians and healthcare workers to be prepared for this influx of outpatients in the relevant seasons.
