Description
Summary:Acute Rhinosinusitis (ARS) is a common respiratory disease, particularly in Vietnam, where the tropical monsoon climate favors its development. This study analyzed data from over 1,300 ARS patients at Quang Nam General Hospital, collected from January 2022 to June 2024, to assess epidemiological trends and environmental influences. The results showed that women and middle-aged individuals (45–60 years) had the highest prevalence. Tam Ky City recorded the highest number of cases (34.6%), followed by Tien Phuoc and Nui Thanh. ARS incidence peaked in the summer, particularly from June to August, correlating with hot, dry weather and air pollution. The findings provide essential insights to optimize ARS management and treatment at the local level while contributing to the development of effective public health policies to mitigate the disease's impact.
