Todkill D, et al. – The purpose of this trial was to use a surveillance network of general practitioners (GPs) to elucidate the epidemiology of allergic rhinitis (AR) consultations in England. It was illustrated that the AR rates were higher in those aged 5–14 years, females and in urban and socioeconomically deprived areas. This ought to be viewed in the context of this study’s limitations. It ought to be taken into account in the health promotion and service planning.
