ABSTRACT

Background:

The effect of intranasal corticosteroids and oral antihistamines on acoustic rhinometry parameters has not been directly compared.

Objectives:

The primary objective was to compare the effect of a 21-day course of treatment with nasal beclomethasone dipropionate (nBDP) with that of cetirizine (CTZ) on nasal patency measured using acoustic rhinometry in children with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR). The secondary objective was to compare the effect of both drugs on nasal cytology, symptom severity, sleep quality, and quality of life.

Methods:

In this 21-day, open-label, randomized controlled study, 34 children with PAR (age 6-14 years) with a Total 5-Symptom Score (T5SS) ≥5 received nBDP 100 μg per nostril twice daily or CTZ 10 mg tablets once daily. The measures of effect were the least square mean change (LSmc) in nasal volume, minimal cross-sectional area (MCA), and nasal cytology, as well as the scores on the T5SS, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Paediatric Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (PRQLQ).

Results:

After 21 days, nBDP improved nasal volume and MCA more than CTZ (LSmc, 2.21 cm3 vs 0.20 cm3 [P=.013]; and LSmc 0.63 cm2 vs 0.13 cm2 [P=.002], respectively). Compared with the CTZ group, a more marked improvement was found in the nBDP group with respect to eosinophil classes (LSmc, -1.10 vs -0.40; P=.031) and neutrophil classes (LSmc, -0.97 vs -0.17; P=.010), T5SS (LSmc, -5.63 vs -3.54; P=.008), PSQI (LSmc, -1.30 vs -0.19; P=.025), and PRQLQ total scores (LSmc, -1.15 vs -0.69; P=.031).

Conclusions:

In children with PAR, nBDP is more effective than CTZ in improving nasal patency measured by acoustic rhinometry, with associated beneficial effects on nasal cytology, symptoms, sleep quality, and quality of life
RESUMEN
Antecedentes No hay estudios previos en los que se comparan los efectos sobre la rinometría acústica de los corticoides intranasales y los antihistamínicos orales.

Objetivos:

El objetivo principal fue comparar los efectos de un tratamiento de 21 días con dipropionato de beclometasona (nBDP) frente a ceterizina (CTZ) sobre la obstrucción nasal medida con rinometría acústica en niños con rinitis alérgica perenne (PAR). Los objetivos secundarios incluyen los efectos sobre la citología nasal, la gravedad de los síntomas, la calidad del sueño y la calidad de vida.

Métodos:

Estudio abierto, aleatorizado y controlado, de 21 días de duración. Se incluyeron 34 niños con PAR (6-14 años) con una puntuación de síntomas ≥5 (T5SS) que recibieron 100 μg de nBDP por fosa nasal dos veces al día o CTZ 10 mg una vez al día. Se realizaron las siguientes mediciones cambios en los mínimos cuadrados (LSmc) del volumen nasal, del área transversa mínima (MCA), de la citología nasal, el T5SS, índice de calidad del sueño (PSQI) y el cuestionario de calidad de vida pediátrico (PRQLQ).

Resultados:

después de 21 días, los tratados con nBDP mejoraron el volumen nasal y el MCA más que los tratados con CTZ (LSmc 2,21 cm3,vs 0.20 cm3, p=0,013 and LSmc 0,63 cm2 vs 0,13 cm2, p=0,002, respectivamente). En el grupo tratado con nBDP, con respecto a los tratados con CTZ tuvieron una mayor mejoría en la disminución de clases de eosinófilos (LSmc -1,10 vs -0,40, p=0,031) y neutrófilos (LSmc -0,97 vs -0,17, p=0,010), en el T5SS (LSmc -5,63 vs -3,54, p=0,008), PSQI (LSmc -1,30 vs -0,19, p=0,025) y en la puntuación total de PRQLQ (LSmc -1,15 vs -0,69, p=0,031).

Conclusiones:

en niños con PAR, la nBDP es más efectiva que la CTZ en mejorar la obstrucción nasal medida por rinometría acústica, con los beneficios asociados sobre citología nasal, síntomas, calidad de sueño y calidad de vida
