A new criterion by which to discriminate between patients with moderate allergic rhinitis and patients with severe allergic rhinitis based on the allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma severity items. For our analysis, we used the (i) cumulative dSS/CSMS/VAS; (ii) average dSS/CSMS/VAS; and (iii) number of "high days", surpassing the arbitrarily chosen thresholds of >=1 for dSS (max. 3), >=2 for CSMS (max. 6) and >=3 for VAS (max. 10). While patients who retrospectively judged their AR symptoms as persistent, indicated to suffer from allergic symptoms during more than 50% of the recorded days (Figure 1, bottom left), those retrospectively assessing their symptoms as intermittent, showed a broader range of data entries indicating symptoms.
