“…In normal subjects occlusion of the nose during the night causes an increase in sleep apnoea and transient arousals (50) suggesting that nasal obstruction irrespective of cause is an important cause of OSAS. In AR there is a general relationship between the presence and degree of nasal obstruction and obstructive sleep apnoea (8,50,51). This has also been confirmed in population studies (17).…”

“…[2,[16][17][18] The reasons for poor sleep quality are not clearly defined, but nasal congestion and elevated inflammatory cytokines have been reported to be the likely causes of sleep impairment. [2,16] Colás et al [35] reported that among 2,275 patients with AR, 52.8% had sleep disturbances and sleep quality was affected by severity of the disease.…”

“…Restless legs syndrome symptom severity: Restless legs syndrome severity score was significantly higher in AR group than control group (15.00 [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and 11.00 [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] respectively, p=0.046) ( Table 2).…”

“…The disease itself or the drugs given for treatment may both result in fatigue and difficulty in concentration during day time. [16][17][18] There is a strong relationship between poor sleep quality and AR with impaired nasal function. [2,[16][17][18] Also, the addition of RLS to AR may cause poor sleep quality or RLS and AR may have a potentiating effect on sleep.…”

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the frequency and severity of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and its relationship with sleep quality in children with allergic rhinitis (AR) with the hypothesis that comorbid RLS may be an additional causative factor of sleep disturbances in pediatric AR. Patients and methods:A total of 143 children with AR (aged 8-18 years) and 144 healthy control subjects (aged 8-18 years) were included. The diagnosis of AR was established on history, clinical examination and skin prick test according to the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma guidelines. Presence of RLS was determined using the International RLS study group (IRLSSG) criteria. The severity of RLS was assessed using the IRLSSG rating scale. Sleep quality was evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).Results: Thirteen patients (9.1%) in AR group, and six children (4.2%) in control group had RLS (p=0.159). The frequency of RLS in AR group was higher than two folds when compared to the control group; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Restless legs syndrome severity score was significantly higher in AR group than control group (15.00 [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and 11.00 [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] respectively, p=0.046). Total PSQI scores were similar between groups. Also, no significant differences were observed in total PSQI scores of AR patients with or without RLS. Conclusion:Restless legs syndrome was not more common but was more severe in children with AR. There was no evidence that RLS has an obvious effect on sleep quality in children with AR.

“…A very common problem suffered by allergy sufferers is interrupted sleep and daytime somnolence (Santos et al (2006) Tashiro et al (2002)). Additionally, cytokines appear to affect mood, and have been linked to mood disorders, such as major depression (Kronfol and Remick (2000)).…”

Clinical research has established that these allergies result in large and consistent decrements in cognitive functioning, problem solving ability and speed, focus and energy. However, the impact of seasonal allergies on achievement in schools has received no attention at all from economists. Here, I use data on daily pollen counts merged with school district data to assess whether variation in the airborne pollen that induces seasonal allergies is associated with performance on state reading and math assessments. I find substantial and robust effects: A one standard deviation in ambient pollen levels reduces the percent of 3rd graders passing ELA assessments by between 0.2 and 0.3 standard deviations, and math assessments by between about 0.3 and 0.4 standard deviations. I discuss the empirical limitations as well as policy implications of this reduced-form estimate of pollen levels in a community setting. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may D I S C U S S I O N P A P E R S E R I E S NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYIn this paper I examine the effect of pollen on school children's performance on mandatory tests of 3rd through 8th graders in the United States. We know from clinical studies that allergies limit cognitive ability. This is the first paper to estimate the impact of a widespread and chronic health problem on student achievement, often measured during the height of allergy season. 1The effect of airborne allergens on the cognitive functioning of allergy sufferers has been the subject of much attention among medical researchers.Numerous clinical studies identify effects on fatigue, mood, focus, the speed and accuracy of problem solving and reasoning. 1 There is also a substantial body of research on the effects of common treatments for allergens on many of these same outcomes. 2 Indeed, the advantages of newer generation treatments are their more limited side effects. 3 Surprisingly, the impacts of seasonal allergies in community--based settings have received almost no attention from economists.Economists have done a substantial amount of research linking exposure to air pollution on child health outcomes and development. Airborne allergens are related to this work on pollutants. However, research on air pollution generally examines the longer--term impact of exposure on development (e.g. birth weight) or health outcomes. In the case of airborne allergens, the phy...
