Recently, global experts in AR gathered to find areas of consensus on AR classification and treatment.1 According to the experts, the visual analogue scale (VAS) was the most reliable scale for classification – beating Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) classification and categorisation based on own clinical judgement, and taking less than 2 minutes to classify patients’ severity.1 Dr Williams is joined by Dr Jumy Fadugba, the head of Allergy at Penn, and Dr Tiffany Dharia to discuss allergic rhinitis and how it is best managed in primary care. This podcast from the University of Pennsylvania covers diagnosing allergic vs non-allergic rhinitis, the treatment of AR and the efficacy and safety of INCS.1 The experts also found that AR treatment could be further simplified, allowing a patient switching from oral antihistamines (OAH) to intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) to remain on the treatment for 1 months without interim review given that the patient remains controlled.1
