In recent decades, the amount of data about allergic rhinitis (AR) in Korean National Health Insurance Service has increased. ⋯ This was the first study conducted in Korea to investigate the prevalence of AR in the general population by using both questionnaires and SPTs. The allergens used for the SPTs were chosen based on the common allergens in this study, and this current pollen data will contribute to establish the cause of increasing AR prevalence in Korea.
