| description | Introduction: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) is the most common cause of chronic upper airway obstruction in children. It is highly prevalent in patients with allergic disorders. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of respiratory allergies in children’s candidates for adenotonsillectomy in the ENT clinic.Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 78 children aged 5 to 10 who were candidates for adenotonsillectomy in the ENT department of Fatemi Hospital, Ardabil City, a referral center in the Ardabil province of Iran. Patients were evaluated for respiratory allergies with a skin prick test after completing forms for recording data in the Allergy clinic of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 21.Results: It was detected that 44.9% of children were allergic to various respiratory allergens. The presence of a history of asthma in patients with a probability of 75% led to being positive for respiratory allergy (P˂0.001). In addition, familial history of allergy was a risk factor, in which 7.66% of these children were reported with positive respiratory allergy (P˂0.01). The presence of atopic dermatitis and eye allergy symptoms led to the positivity of respiratory allergy with a higher probability, but it was not statistically significant.Conclusions:Results showed that the prevalence of respiratory allergies was high in patients who were candidates for surgery with a history of asthma, atopic dermatitis, eye allergy, and familial history of allergies. Therefore, it is recommended that further evaluations be performed on these patients prior to surgery. |
