| Research Abstract |
Database of medical fee receipt was analyzed to assess the Japanese medical practice and drug prescription pattern in patients defined as spring season allergic rhinitis(SAR). About 15% of children and 7% of adults in receipt cohort population were considered as SAR patients. About 50% of SAR patients had consulted otolaryngologists. Two-thirds of SAR patients had visited medical institutes only once or twice in a spring season. The most prescribed drug was second-generation antihistamines in SAR medicines.
