Popis: Pollen seasons progress differently in their timing, course, and intensity in different countries/biogeographical regions depending on regional factors such as vegetation, elevation, urbanization, and others. The variable regional situation often provides obstacles for a standard season definition.1 The season definition of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) was published as a pollen concentration season definition depending on the selected pollen type reaching a certain threshold after a certain period of consecutive days, 2, 3 and it was demonstrated that they can be correlated with pollen-induced symptom loads.4 The season definition was developed for studies with a medical framework, particularly to allow a prospective approach. However, pollen concentrations do not reach the same level in Europe or globally and affect persons concerned differently.5 Therefore, there is a strong need to expand the scope of application of the EAACI season definition to a retrospective approach if the standard season definition criteria are not met within the site selection or during a clinical trial.
