Faktor risiko yang mempengaruhi disfungsi tuba Eustachius pada penderita rinitis alergi persisten

Abstract

Background: Persistent allergic rhinitis (AR) can lead to Eustachian tuba dysfunction. It could beinfluenced by many factors. Purpose: To prove that AR’s degree, duration, presence of chronic tonsillitisand the use of air conditioner are the risk factors of the Eustachean tube dysfunction in patients withpersistent allergic rhinitis. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients between 11-54years age who came with persistent AR. Tubal dysfunction was detected by tympanometric examination (MEP negative 0.05). Multivariatelogistic regression analysis found that it became a risk factor for tubal dysfunction p= 0.019, RP=5.446, CI 95%= 1.321- 22.575. Conclusion: The use of AC becomes a risk factor for tubal dysfunctionin patients with persistent allergic rhinitis.

Disfungsituba dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor. Tujuan: Membuktikan bahwa derajat RA, lama sakit RA,keberadaan tonsiltis kronik dan pemakaian air conditioner (AC) merupakan faktor risiko terjadinyadisfungsi tuba pada penderita rinitis alergi persisten. Metode: Penelitian dengan metode potong-lintangpada RA persisten usia 11-54 tahun. Disfungsi tuba ditentukan dengan pemeriksaan timpanometri (MEPnegatif/ 0,05). Analisis regresi logistik multivariate didapatkanpemakaian AC secara independen mempunyai risiko terjadinya disfungsi tuba p=0,019, RP=5,446, CI95%= 1,321-22,575. Kesimpulan: Pemakaian AC merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya disfungsi tubapada penderita rinitis alergi persisten. Kata kunci: rinitis alergi persisten, disfungsi tuba, timpanometri
