Based on this study, the use of running applications was not associated with an increased or decreased risk of RRIs. Running applications can be used by runners without any further implications to guide their training activities. However, runners should be aware that the use of predefined running schemes is associated with RRI risk. It is important that following a previous RRI, athletes should be fully recovered before resuming their training sessions as hindrance from a previous RRI is highly associated with the occurrence of a new RRI.

While the 2 included studies suggest that allergic rhinitis adds little to the prediction of a prolonged or chronic course in patients with acute rhinosinusitis, they carry a high risk of bias. As the available evidence does not provide grounds for different management of patients with and without allergic rhinitis, namely, according to clinical practice guidelines, both can be managed with expectant observation and symptomatic treatment.
