Objective:

To investigate the relationship between nasal septum deviation (NSD) and allergic rhinitis (AR) specifically in children.

Key Findings:
  • Higher prevalence of AR in NSD+ children (66.7%) compared to NSD− children (36.2%; p < 0.0001).
  • NSD was independently associated with AR (aOR 3.51; 95% CI 1.65–7.47; p = 0.001).
  • NSD+ children had more severe AR symptoms and lower nasal peak inspiratory flow values.
Interpretation:

The findings suggest that NSD may negatively influence the disease course of AR in children, highlighting the need for clinical awareness.

Limitations:
  • The study is observational and does not establish causality, which may introduce biases.
  • Sample size may limit the generalizability of the findings.
Conclusion:

Early identification and management of NSD may improve AR outcomes; further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm causality and explore preventive strategies.
