Abstract

The Danyoung classification characterizes progressive endoscopic changes in the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis (AR) patients, but its clinical correlation with disease severity and chronicity remains unestablished. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the association between Danyoung stages (1: hypertrophic, 2: dimple, 3: wrinkled) and AR symptomatology. Fifty AR patients from a tertiary allergy-immunology clinic were enrolled over a six-month period. Data on symptom duration, profile, and ARIA-based severity (intermittent/persistent, mild/moderate-severe) were collected. Nasoendoscopic examination was performed for Danyoung staging. Statistical analysis using chi-square tests demonstrated no significant association between Danyoung stage and symptom duration (p=0.85) or clinical disease severity (p=0.96). The findings indicate that the Danyoung classification, as an objective morphological descriptor, is not a statistically significant predictor of symptom-based AR severity or chronicity in this patient cohort. This suggests that the progression of endoscopic nasal mucosal changes may follow a pathway independent of the clinical parameters defined by ARIA guidelines, limiting its utility as a standalone clinical prognostic tool.

Abstract

Allergic Rhinitis (AR) is an inflammatory condition of the nasal mucosa triggered by allergies, with total IgE often used as a biomarker to assess disease severity. Objective: To analyze the relationship between total IgE levels, symptom duration, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, and Danyoung Classification in AR patients. Methods: A cross-sectional observational analytical study was conducted on 73 patients at the Allergy-Immunology Clinic of Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital. Total IgE levels were measured using the ELISA method, while VAS and nasal mucosa classification were assessed through anamnesis and nasoendoscopy. Results: The study showed68.5% of patients had IgE levels above 100 IU/ml, with an average of 982.97 IU/ml. Although higher IgE levels were often found in AR patients, there was no statistically significant correlation between IgE levels and Danyoung classification (significance value 0.924). The correlation test showed a coefficient of -0.11, indicating a negative correlation, but it was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The nasal mucosa condition in patients with high IgE levels does not always reflect severe inflammation. In addition to IgE levels, external factors such as exposure to pollutants and cigarette smoke also play a role in the condition of the nasal mucosa. Therefore, while high IgE levels often indicate allergic reactions, this study found no significant relationship between IgE levels and AR severity.
