Few studies describe the factors associated with allergic diseases in adult patients undergoing immunotherapy in Latin American countries.\nObjective: This study aimed to determine the factors associated with allergic rhinitis (AR) and AR in comorbidity with asthma (CARAS) in adults treated with immunotherapy in two allergy referral centers in Bogot\u00e1 (Colombia).\nMaterial and Methods: Observational, cross-sectional study conducted between January 2018 and January 2019. ISAAC-III and sociodemographic questionnaires were applied to determine the factors associated with AR and CARAS in adults treated with immunotherapy who attended the allergy consult at the Fundaci\u00f3n Santa Fe de Bogot\u00e1 and Unimeq-Orl.\nResults: Among 416 adults aged 18\u201368 years, 71.4% (n = 297) were women. Regarding the sensitization results obtained by skin prick test, the most frequent allergens were house dust mites (64.18%): 49.03% were positive for both\u00a0Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus\u00a0and\u00a0Dermatophagoides farinae, while 28.61% were positive for\u00a0Blomia tropicalis. Excluding house dust mites, the most frequent allergens were dog hair (31.01%), cat hair (15.1%), grasses (15.9%), and food (15.9%). The main factor associated with exclusive AR was regular acetaminophen use more than four times a year: Prevalence ratio (PR) = 1.77 (95% CI: 1.12\u20132.25). The main factor associated with CARAS was cesarean delivery PR: 1.44 (95% CI: 1.09\u20131.78).\nConclusion: The main factor associated with AR was regular acetaminophen use, while that associated with CARAS was cesarean delivery. The ISAAC-III questionnaire can be a useful low-cost tool to assess the factors associated with allergic diseases in adults in tropical countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15586\/aei.v51i4.833","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,2]],"date-time":"2023-07-02T20:12:26Z","timestamp":1688328746000},"page":"78-86","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Factors associated with allergic rhinitis and combined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome (CARAS) in adults undergoing immunotherapy in a tropical country: Is ISAAC-III questionnaire useful in adult populations?"],"prefix":"10.15586","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1598-8472","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Augusto","family":"Pe\u00f1aranda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8041-6433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luc\u00eda C.","family":"P\u00e9rez-Herrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4617-0940","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela","family":"Gantiva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3043-0963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergio","family":"Moreno-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julian","family":"Manrique","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2220-0746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Pe\u00f1aranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7456-4007","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"6228","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,1]]},"container-title":["Allergologia et Immunopathologia"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.all-imm.com\/index.php\/aei\/article\/download\/833\/1357","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.all-imm.com\/index.php\/aei\/article\/download\/833\/1358","content-type":"text\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.all-imm.com\/index.php\/aei\/article\/download\/833\/1359","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.all-imm.com\/index.php\/aei\/article\/download\/833\/1357","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,28]],"date-time":"2023-07-28T20:24:32Z","timestamp":1690575872000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.all-imm.com\/index.php\/aei\/article\/view\/833"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,2]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.15586\/aei.v51i4.833","relation":{},"ISSN":["0301-0546"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0301-0546","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,1]]}}}
