ARIA 2019 Care pathways for allergic rhinitis in Kuwait health care system.

A worldwide increase in prevalence of allergic diseases have led to adaptations in national and international health care systems. ARIA initiative (Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Asthma) develops internationally applicable guidelines for allergic respiratory diseases. In collaboration with international initiatives, ARIA offers updates of real life integrated care pathways (ICP) for digitally assisted, integrative, individualized treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). This article presents the specificity of heath care system in Kuwait in regards to management of AR, with the intention to introduce proposed ICP and adopt latest ARIA recommendations. Guidelines for ICP includes views of patients and healthcare providers and covers key areas of allergic rhinitis management. This model of guidelines support real life health care better than traditional mod-els. Aiming at improving both pharmacotherapy and allergy immunotherapy (AIT), ARIA recommendations will be locally integrated in the health care system.
