New Study Finds Link Between Hayfever and Exam Performance

---

Omschrijving
Children who experience hayfever symptoms while taking their GCSE exams are 40% more likely to drop a grade between their mocks and final exams, according to the findings of a new study conducted by the charity Education for Health, in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh and Imperial College London(1). This figure rises to 70% if they are taking a sedating anti-histamine treatment (which can cause drowsiness)(1,2). Despite current guidelines advocating the use of widely-available non-sedating medication,(2) 28% of the students taking medication for their symptoms were on a sedating anti-histamine(1). The study is the first to look at the impact of hayfever on actual exam performance (as opposed to simulated conditions) and is available on-line today from the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
