This comprehensive practice parameter for allergic rhinitis (AR) and nonallergic rhinitis (NAR) provides updated guidance on diagnosis, assessment, selection of monotherapy and combination pharmacologic options, and allergen immunotherapy for AR. Newer information about local AR is reviewed. Cough is emphasized as a common symptom in both AR and NAR. Food allergy testing is not recommended in the routine evaluation of rhinitis. Intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) remain the preferred monotherapy for persistent AR, but additional studies support the additive benefit of combination treatment with INCS and intranasal antihistamines in both AR and NAR. Either intranasal antihistamines or INCS may be offered as first-line monotherapy for NAR. Montelukast should only be used for AR if there has been an inadequate response or intolerance to alternative therapies. Depot parenteral corticosteroids are not recommended for treatment of AR due to potential risks. While intranasal decongestants generally should be limited to short-term use to prevent rebound congestion, in limited circumstances, patients receiving regimens that include an INCS may be offered, in addition, an intranasal decongestant for up to 4 weeks. Neither acupuncture nor herbal products have adequate studies to support their use for AR. Oral decongestants should be avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy. Recommendations for use of subcutaneous and sublingual tablet allergen immunotherapy in AR are provided. Algorithms based on a combination of evidence and expert opinion are provided to guide in the selection of pharmacologic options for intermittent and persistent AR and NAR.

Previously published practice parameters and guidelines of the JTFPP are available at www.allergyparameters.org. www.AAAAI.org, and www.ACAAI.org. |
|
Resolving conflict of interest: The JTFPP is committed to ensuring that all guidelines are based on the best scientific evidence at the time of publication, and that such evidence is free of commercial bias to the greatest extent possible. Before confirming the selection of the work group chairperson and members, the JTFPP discusses and resolves all relevant potential conflicts of interest (COIs) of each work group member. The JTFPP recognizes that experts in a field are likely to have interests that could come into conflict with the development of a completely unbiased and objective guideline. Therefore, a process has been developed to acknowledge potential COIs when making specific recommendations. To preserve the greatest transparency regarding potential COIs, all members of the JTFPP and work group complete a COI form prior to the development of each document and again prior to the guideline submission for publication. |
|
During the review process there are additional measures to avoid bias. At the work group level, all the recommendations and discussion sections are reviewed by all work group members to ensure that content is appropriate and without apparent bias. If any recommendation or section is deemed to have apparent bias, it is appropriately revised, without the section author’s involvement, in an attempt to remove potential bias. In addition, the entire document is also reviewed by the JTFPP and any apparent bias is acknowledged and removed at that level. For each and every recommendation, a vote is required by the work group and JTFPP, and any member with any perceived COI is recused from that vote (and so explained in the document). Any dissenting votes that cannot be resolved are described and explained in the document. |
|
In a final stage of review, the practice parameter is sent to invited expert reviewers for review, selected by the AAAAI and the ACAAI. The document is also posted on the AAAAI and ACAAI websites for general membership and the public-at-large to review and offer comment. All reviewers must provide statements of potential COIs. Although the JTFPP has the final responsibility for the content of the documents submitted for publication, each reviewer’s comments will be discussed and reviewers will receive written responses to comments when appropriate. |

Disclaimer: The AAAAI and the ACAAI have jointly accepted responsibility for developing “Rhinitis 2020: a practice parameter update.” The medical environment is rapidly changing, and not all recommendations will be appropriate or applicable to all patients and may change over time. Because this document incorporates the efforts of many participants, no single individual, including members serving on the JTFPP, is authorized to provide an official AAAAI or ACAAI interpretation of this guideline. Any request for information or interpretation of this practice parameter by the AAAAI or ACAAI should be directed to the executive offices of the AAAAI and the ACAAI. Practice parameters and guidelines are not designed for use by the pharmaceutical industry in drug development or promotion. The JTFPP understands that the cost of diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions is an important concern that may appropriately influence the evaluation and treatment selected for a given patient. The JTFPP recognizes that the emphasis of our primary recommendations regarding a medication may vary, for example, depending on third-party payer issues and product patent expiration dates. However, because a given test or a therapeutic intervention’s cost is so widely variable, and there is a relative paucity of pharmacoeconomic data, the JTFPP is not always able to consider cost when formulating recommendations. In extraordinary circumstances, when the cost benefit of an intervention is prohibitive as supported by pharmacoeconomic data, commentary may be provided. |

Contributors: The JTFPP has made a concerted effort to acknowledge all contributors to this parameter. If any contributors have been excluded inadvertently, the JTFPP will ensure that appropriate recognition is provided. |
