Pollen-Induced Allergic Rhinitis Prevalence and Risk Factors in Inner Mongolia, 2023

From March to July 2023, a cross-sectional survey of 4,303 participants in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, collected data on pollen-induced allergic rhinitis. The dataset, authored by Ting-ting Ma and published under CC-BY-4.0, includes prevalence rates across ecological zones and results from skin prick tests for 16 allergens.

Use Cases

• Analyze prevalence variations of allergic rhinitis based on ecological zone (urban, agropastoral, desert, mining)
• Model risk factors for pollen-induced allergic rhinitis based on survey and skin prick test data
• Study seasonal allergen patterns based on pollen counts for poplar (spring) and Artemisia (autumn)
• Compare self-reported versus physician-diagnosed allergic rhinitis rates based on survey results

Strengths

• Includes data from 4,303 participants, providing a substantial sample size
• Reports specific prevalence rates: 31.51% for PIAR, 34.70% for PDAR, and 52.89% for SRAR
• Stratifies results by four distinct ecological zones: urban, agropastoral, desert, and mining

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is limited to a single region (Ordos) and a 5-month period in 2023
