OUTPATIENT TREATMENT OUTCOMES OF ALLERGIC RHINITIS WITH INTRANASAL BUDESONIDE AT MILITARY HOSPITAL 103
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the improvement in clinical symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) undergoing outpatient treatment with intranasal Budesonide. Methods: A prospective, case-by-case descriptive study was conducted on 61 patients diagnosed with AR at Military Hospital 103 from October 2023 to December 2024. Results: House dust was the most common allergen, accounting for 83.6% of cases. After three months of treatment: 77.0% of patients had complete resolution of nasal itching; 73.8% had no further sneezing episodes; 78.7% experienced cessation of rhinorrhea; and 45.9% achieved full relief from nasal congestion. Additionally, 72.1% exhibited normalization of the nasal mucosa, and 83.6% showed restored inferior turbinate morphology. The mean QoL score improved significantly from 2.2 ± 0.6 to 0.8 ± 0.2, with a mean reduction of 1.4 ± 0.5 points, reflecting an overall improvement rate of 63.6%. Conclusion: Intranasal Budesonide showed marked improvement in both clinical symptoms and quality of life in patients with allergic rhinitis after three months of treatment.
