The Relationship between Serum Vitamin D Levels with Allergic Rhinitis Incidence and Total Nasal Symptom Score in Allergic Rhinitis Patients.
Allergic diseases and vitamin D deficiency were found to have a relationship. However, there was limited number of studies on the relationship between vitamin D with allergic rhinitis (AR) and total nasal symptom scores (TNSS), particularly in determining the cut-off points of serum vitamin D levels which correlated to AR. ⋯ There was a strong, negative correlation between serum vitamin D levels with AR and TNSS. The cut-off points of serum vitamin D levels correlated to AR were approximately12.83 ng/mL. Thus, further research needs to be conducted.
