New-Onset Rhinitis Symptoms Among Hospitalized Patients: Are Flowers a Culprit?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
New-onset rhinitis symptoms following admission to the hospital were reported by 12.7% of surveyed patients. Presence of flower arrangements in the proximity of patients' beds was highly associated with the development of new rhinitis (odds ratio, 9.7; 95% confidence interval, 4.3-21.7), or what may be more aptly referred to as “florocomial” rhinitis.
