Abstrakt: These surgeries may alter immune function and microbiota, thereby altering the risks of certain diseases.[2] The altered immune function and dysbiosis after appendectomy or tonsillectomy may also alter the risk of allergic diseases. Patients received dual appendectomy-tonsillectomy was at the highest risk of AR (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.28-4.42), followed by those received tonsillectomy (aHR 3.09, 95% CI 2.99-3.20) and those received appendectomy (aHR 1.11, 95% CI 1.09-1.13). The selected patients had no allergic diseases prior to enrollment; 276 patients received dual appendectomy-tonsillectomy (Group 1), 175,353 patients received appendectomy (Group 2), 20,624 patients received tonsillectomy (Group 3), and 20,930,884 patients received no related surgery (Group 4), as displayed in Table 1.
