Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on postoperative recurrence of chronic sinusitis (CRS) is unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between T2DM and postoperative recurrence in CRS patients. METHODS CRS patients who underwent surgery in our hospital from January 2018 to April 2020 were included and followed up for three years. Patients were classified into non-recurrent and recurrent CRS groups based on follow-up outcome, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for postoperative recurrence. RESULTS A total of 412 CRS patients were included of whom 68 had T2DM. The postoperative recurrence rate was significantly higher in the T2DM group compared to the non-T2DM group (p < .05). T2DM prevalence and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels were higher in recurrent CRS patients than those in non-recurrent CRS cases (p < .05). Multivariate regression analyses showed that age, duration of disease, FBG, and comorbid allergic rhinitis (AR) were significantly associated with an increased risk of postoperative recurrence of CRS (p < .05). Furthermore, adjusted logistic regression model revealed that T2DM was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence of CRS (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS Elevated FBG levels may significantly influenced the postoperative recurrence of CRS in Chinese patients, and T2DM was an independent risk factor for recurrence.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to evaluate the relationship between chronic sinusitis (CRS) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in a Chinese population and to explore the risk factors for olfactory dysfunction in patients with CRS. Methods A total of 387 CRS patients were enrolled. Olfactory function was assessed by the Sniffin' Sticks 12-item test and MS was diagnosed according to the guidelines. Logistic regression analysis was performed on CRS patients to screen independent risk factors of olfactory dysfunction, adjusted for confounding factors. Results Among 387 patients, average age of visit and duration of onset were 48.7 years and 1.8 years, respectively. The prevalence of MS was 15.0%. CRS patients with MS were more likely to be older (51.2 vs. 46.8, p = .004), predominantly male (p < .001) and have a higher proportion of olfactory dysfunction (62.1% vs. 44.1%, p = .018) than those without MS. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, MS was associated with olfactory dysfunction in CRS patients (OR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.14-3.72, p = .016). This association remained significant after controlling for confounding factors. In addition, nasal polyps (OR: 13.41, 95% CI: 8.11-22.17, p < .001) and allergic rhinitis (OR: 3.16, 95% CI: 1.67-5.99, p < .001) were also risk factors for olfactory dysfunction after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions MS is associated with olfactory dysfunction in patients with CRS. MS, nasal polyps, and allergic rhinitis are risk factors for olfactory dysfunction in CRS patients. Level of evidence IV.

Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol 2023; 132:317-321. [PMID: 35473357 DOI: 10.1177/00034894221091348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and its associated immune dysfunction are well-studied risk factors for adverse surgical outcomes. The literature regarding endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is less robust and there have been conflicting reports on post-operative complications and surgical results in this patient population. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of diabetes mellitus on outcomes after ESS via rates of post-operative medical intervention in the first 6 months after surgery. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of 176 subjects who underwent ESS from 2015 to 2019 at a single institution by 2 fellowship-trained rhinologists. Subjects were divided into 2 groups, those with a documented Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) >6.5 or diagnosis of DM and those with HbA1C < 6.5. Patient age, demographics, 6-month preoperative HbA1c, surgical status and extent, and 6-monthpostoperative need for steroids and/or antibiotics were collected. RESULTS Out of n = 176 total patients, n = 39 (22.2%) were categorized into the DM group, which were older (46.4 vs 53.8 years, P = .004) and higher proportion of white patients (89.7% vs 68.6%, P = .008). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in proportion of revision surgery, surgical extent, and post-operative use of antibiotics or steroids. When including all variables in binary logistic regression for use of postoperative antibiotics or steroids, the only significant variable predicting these outcomes was the extent of surgical resection including sphenoid sinus (P = .001, OR [95% CI] = 4.02 [1.73-9.34]) or frontal sinus (P < .001, OR [95% CI = 9.86 [4.00-24.33]). CONCLUSIONS Patients with DM do not appear to have worse post-operative outcomes outside of the initial 6-month postoperative period.

Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2023; 13:151-159. [PMID: 35771157 DOI: 10.1002/alr.23053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND While various sinus computed tomography (CT) scoring systems have been proposed and used in the literature, no single system has been identified as superior. The strength of associations between CT scoring systems and measures of olfaction also remains unclear. METHODS A systematic review of PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Studies that reported both CT scores and measures of olfaction in a cross-sectional manner were included. RESULTS A total of 37 studies were eligible for meta-analysis. Of 8035 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, 55.6% were male patients and 53.2% had chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Analysis by meta-regression was performed of Lund-Mackay (LM) versus Smell Identification Test-40 (SIT-40; 12 studies), Brief Smell Identification Test (BSIT; 10 studies), Sniffin' Sticks (SS; 10 studies), and Toyota & Takagi (T&T) olfactometry (four studies). A significant moderate association was found between LM and SIT-40 (R2 = 0.612, p < 0.001) and LM and SS (R2 = 0.612, p < 0.001). An association between LM and BSIT approached significance (R2 = 0.461, p = 0.054). No significant associations were noted between LM and T&T olfactometry and between LM and SS when stratified by nasal polyp status. CONCLUSION There is a significant moderate association of current CT scoring systems to SIT-40 and SS. Further research should focus on associations of objective measures of olfaction to CT scores of the nasal cavity, sinuses, and olfactory cleft, as well as other disease markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature regarding clinical olfaction, olfactory loss, and olfactory dysfunction has expanded rapidly over the past two decades, with an exponential rise in the past year. There is substantial variability in the quality of this literature and a need to consolidate and critically review the evidence. It is with that aim that we have gathered experts from around the world to produce this International Consensus on Allergy and Rhinology: Olfaction (ICAR:O). METHODS Using previously described methodology, specific topics were developed relating to olfaction. Each topic was assigned a literature review, evidence-based review, or evidence-based review with recommendations format as dictated by available evidence and scope within the ICAR:O document. Following iterative reviews of each topic, the ICAR:O document was integrated and reviewed by all authors for final consensus. RESULTS The ICAR:O document reviews nearly 100 separate topics within the realm of olfaction, including diagnosis, epidemiology, disease burden, diagnosis, testing, etiology, treatment, and associated pathologies. CONCLUSION This critical review of the existing clinical olfaction literature provides much needed insight and clarity into the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with olfactory dysfunction, while also clearly delineating gaps in our knowledge and evidence base that we should investigate further.

Cumulative comorbidity burden does not worsen outcomes in management of chronic rhinosinusitis. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2022; 12:28-38. [PMID: 34259379 PMCID: PMC8716416 DOI: 10.1002/alr.22866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of multiple coexisting medical comorbidities on treatment outcomes in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is unknown. In this study we sought to evaluate the effect of comorbidities on sinonasal quality of life (QOL) and general health utility values by utilizing the Functional Comorbidity Index (FCI) in CRS patients. METHODS Patients with CRS were prospectively enrolled in a cross-sectional study of medical and surgical therapies. The 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 6D (SF-6D) scores were recorded at enrollment and 6-month follow-up; Lund-Kennedy endoscopy and Lund-Mackay computed tomography scores were recorded at enrollment. The FCI was calculated using the electronic medical record. The impact of cumulative comorbidity burden on baseline and posttreatment outcomes was assessed using univariate and bivariate correlations. RESULTS A total of 428 participants with CRS were included. The average (mean standard ± deviation) FCI score was 3.03 ± 2.28 (range, 0-12). Significant linear correlations were identified between increasing FCI score and baseline SNOT-22 and SF-6D scores (R = 0.166, p = 0.001 and R = -0.245, p < 0.001, respectively). There was no correlation between FCI and change in SNOT-22 or SF-6D scores after CRS treatment (R = 0.066, p = 0.17 and R = -0.087, p = 0.074, respectively). Achievement of a minimally clinically important difference was also independent of FCI. CONCLUSION Although cumulative comorbidity burden, as measured by FCI, is associated with worse baseline SNOT-22 and SF-6D scores, it does not appear to limit posttreatment improvement in either outcome measure. On average, patients with high comorbidity burden report substantial improvement in both QOL and health utility after CRS treatment, similar to those with fewer comorbidities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between physician-diagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) phenotypes in a national population-based study. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional study. SETTING Population-based survey data were collected by the Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey between January 2008 and December 2012. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS A total of 34 670 participants aged over 19 years were enrolled in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2008 to 2012. The relationship of CRS prevalence, with and without nasal polyps, with physician-diagnosed DM and non-DM were assessed. Differences in sinonasal symptoms between patients with and without DM were analysed in this cross-sectional study. RESULTS A significant association was observed between DM and CRS with nasal polyps after adjustment for multiple variables. No substantial association was observed between DM and CRS without nasal polyps. Among patients with CRS, olfactory dysfunction for >3 months was significantly more frequent in the DM group than in the non-DM group. CONCLUSION We demonstrated significant associations between DM and CRS with nasal polyps and olfactory dysfunction among patients with CRS in a large national clinical cohort study. The direct mechanism of the association between DM and CRS with nasal polyps should be further investigated to clarify the pathogenesis of CRS with nasal polyps.

Zhao R, Chen K, Tang Y. Olfactory changes after endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis: A meta-analysis. Clin Otolaryngol 2020; 46:41-51. [PMID: 32865350 DOI: 10.1111/coa.13639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 08/02/2020] [Accepted: 08/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is an important treatment modality for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, its effect on olfaction remains controversial. OBJECTIVE OF REVIEW To assess the olfactory impact of ESS in patients with CRS. TYPE OF REVIEW A meta-analysis. SEARCH STRATEGY A systematic literature search in the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases was conducted to identify studies that assessed change in olfaction after ESS in patients with CRS. Search terms were related to paranasal sinus diseases, smell and endoscopy. EVALUATION METHOD The extracted data included authors, publication year, study type, age, sex, diagnostic criteria, surgical mode, sample size, follow-up time, olfaction measurement tool and outcome. We analysed the olfactory changes as continuous variables. RESULTS Thirty-five studies including 3164 patients with CRS were eligible for the meta-analysis. Among patients having CRS with nasal polyps, olfactory dysfunction improved, as assessed by the Sniffin' Sticks total score (P = .000), Sniffin' Sticks discrimination score (P = .023), Sniffin' Sticks identification score (P = .005), University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (P = .046) and Visual Analogue Scale (P = .000). However, the threshold score of the Sniffin' Sticks test did not improve significantly (P = .361). Olfactory dysfunction did not improve in patients having CRS without nasal polyps according to the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (P = .404). In non-classified CRS patients, improvement in olfactory dysfunction was observed according to the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (P = .000), Visual Analogue Scale (P = .001) and Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders-Negative Statements (P = .001). However, there were no significant improvements according to the Brief Smell Identification Test (P = .325), Sniffin' Sticks threshold score (P = .160) and Sniffin' Sticks identification score (P = .079). CONCLUSION Endoscopic sinus surgery may be beneficial for improvement in olfactory conditions in patients with CRS. Further thorough and comprehensive studies need to be conducted.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disease, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. The hyperglycemic milieu leads to endothelial injury in blood vessels of variant size, which results in microangiopathy and macroangiopathy (atherosclerosis). Consequential ischemia of nerves and hyperglycemia by itself lead to nerve degeneration and generalized neuropathy, affecting most often the sensory peripheral nerves and the autonomic nervous system. Auditory, vestibular and olfactory sensorium may be compromised by DM. People with DM have an increased susceptibility to infection, as a result of neutrophil dysfunction and impaired humoral immunity. Therefore DM predisposes to certain infectious diseases, such as fungal sinusitis or malignant otitis externa, which are rare in general population. Recovery from infections or from injuries may be compromised by coexisting DM. In this review we discuss complications of DM in the head and neck region. Otolaryngologists and general practitioners should be alert to specific conditions related to DM and be minded of the relevant complications and consequences.

Abstract
Objective Wide variation exists regarding reported outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This study seeks to combine data across studies to generate a summary measure and explore factors that might lead to variation. Data Sources OVID Medline, Scopus, EbscoHost, Database of Abstracts and Reviews of Effects, Health Technology Assessment, and National Health Service Economic Evaluation Database. Review Methods A search was performed following the PRISMA guidelines. Two independent researchers conducted a search using the mentioned data sources. Studies published before August 29, 2016, that involved ESS to treat CRSwNP were included. Mean changes in Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) scores were determined through metaregression of the following independent variables: publication year, sex, age, allergy status, asthma, tobacco use, prior surgery, follow-up length, and preoperative SNOT-22. Results Fifteen articles with 3048 patients treated with ESS met inclusion criteria. Pooled analyses of SNOT-22 scores revealed a mean change of 23.0 points (95% CI, 20.2-25.8; P < .001). A metaregression of patient factor effects on the mean change of SNOT-22 scores demonstrated that age ( r = 0.71, P = .01), asthma ( r = 0.21, P = .01), prior ESS ( r = 0.29, P = .01), and preoperative SNOT-22 score ( r = 0.4, P < .01) correlated with greater improvement in SNOT-22 scores. Tobacco use ( r = -0.91, P = .01) and longer lengths of follow-up ( r = -0.45, P < .01) were associated with less improvement in SNOT-22 scores. Conclusions Quality-of-life outcomes are significantly improved after ESS among patients with CRSwNP. Patient-specific factors may affect the degree of SNOT-22 change after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The endoscopic modified Lothrop (Draf-III) surgery has improved treatment of recalcitrant frontal sinus disease, with favorable safety and long-term results. However, the short-term clinical and quality-of-life morbidity after Draf-III relative to less-extensive procedures has yet to be investigated. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the surgical and quality-of-life outcomes, including the burden of follow-up care, in patients who underwent endoscopic modified Lothrop (Draf-III), and compared these results with a less-extensive intervention, the endoscopic frontal sinusotomy (Draf-IIa). METHODS A retrospective review of early (<8 weeks) postoperative recovery of patients who underwent Draf-III (2014 to 2016) for chronic rhinosinusitis was conducted and compared with age and radiographically matched Draf-IIa controls. Primary outcomes included perioperative complications, the number of postoperative clinic visits, debridements, and steroid and antibiotic therapy days. Secondary outcomes included the change in the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores and/or subscores (domains). RESULTS Thirty-eight patients (19 Draf-III, 19 Draf-IIa) were included. Patients who underwent Draf-III versus Draf-IIa required more postoperative clinic visits (4.9 ± 1.7 versus 3.3 ± 0.8; p < 0.05), debridements (4.2 ± 2.0 versus 2.3 ± 0.8; p < 0.05), and antibiotic therapy days (24.4 ± 11.8 versus 15.6 ± 6.3; p < 0.05). The mean (SD) SNOT-22 scores improved for both groups (-12.7 ± 34.5 versus -9.5 ± 20.4; p = 0.74) over the follow-up period, and subscore (domain) analysis demonstrated worsening extranasal symptoms (2.5 ± 3.0 versus -1.5 ± 4.7; p < 0.05) at the first postoperative visit, and less improvement in ear/facial symptoms at the second (-0.5 ± 2.6 versus -3.9 ± 4.7; p = 0.03) and third postoperative visits (-1.1 ± 1.6 versus 3.5 ± 3.3; p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Draf-III is associated with more postoperative clinic visits, debridements, and antibiotic therapy days. The patients who underwent Draf-III demonstrated worsening of extranasal symptoms at the first postoperative visit and less improvement in the ear/facial score at the second and third visits. Informed consent and counseling patients who may require Draf-III should include a detailed discussion of the burden of postoperative care and recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The goal of the study was to perform a systematic review with meta-analysis to determine the mean change in the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) across patients who have had endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in the literature. METHODS A literature search was performed to identify studies that assessed SNOT-22 scores before and after ESS in adult patients with CRS. A random effects model with inverse variance weighting was used to generate the mean change after surgery, along with the forest plot and 95% confidence interval (CI). The impact of patient-specific factors across studies was assessed using a mixed-effects meta-regression. RESULTS The final study list included 40 unique patient cohorts published from 2008 to 2016. All studies showed a statistically significant change in mean SNOT-22 scores between baseline and postoperative time points (P < .001), ranging from 12.7 to 44.8, at an average follow-up of 10.6 months. The summary change in mean SNOT-22 across all studies was 24.4 (95% CI: 22.0-26.8). After forward, step-wise multivariate modeling, studies with higher mean preoperative SNOT-22 score and higher asthma prevalence were associated with greater changes in SNOT-22 score after ESS, whereas studies with longer mean follow-up had smaller changes in SNOT-22 score. CONCLUSIONS Studies evaluating quality-of-life outcomes after sinus surgery using the SNOT-22 instrument universally show significant improvement after ESS. Across the published literature, the magnitude of change is quite variable and appears to be influenced by a number of factors including baseline SNOT-22 score, asthma prevalence, and length of follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In addition to known concerns regarding antibiotic overuse, recent research indicates that excessive antibiotic use is associated with poorer long-term health. Given that rhinosinusitis is the leading condition accounting for antibiotic prescriptions in the ambulatory setting, we aimed to evaluate characteristics associated with greater antibiotic use in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). METHODS Adult CRS patients enrolled in a prospective, multi-institutional, observational cohort study evaluating treatment outcomes were included in this analysis. Study participants were asked to report the number of days out of the previous 90 days that systemic antibiotics were taken for sinus disease. Patient demographics, disease characteristics, and measures of disease severity were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 561 patients from 4 institutions were included in the analysis, with mean antibiotic use of 17.4 ± 22.4 out of the prior 90 days. No differences between antibiotic-use groups were found for objective measures of disease severity (computed tomography [CT], endoscopy, Brief Smell Identification Test [BSIT] scores), however, increased patient-reported symptom burden (22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test [SNOT-22], Rhinosinusitis Disability Index [RSDI]) was associated with more antibiotic use. Patients reporting the most antibiotic use were older (p = 0.004) but no ethnic or gender differences were seen. Comorbid diagnoses of allergy, asthma, diabetes, depression, or fibromyalgia were not associated with increased antibiotic use. In accordance with literature recommendations, CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients were less likely to have used antibiotics. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) significantly decreased antibiotic use. CONCLUSION Variability in antibiotic use in CRS appears to be driven by symptom burden, independent of objective measures of disease severity, patient demographics, and presence of comorbid disease. Clear guidelines are essential to define appropriate antibiotic use in CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has become the treatment of choice for a variety of nasal conditions. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on postoperative outcomes in ESS. METHODS Data on endoscopic sinus surgery performed from 2005 to 2013 were collected from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement (ACS-NSQIP) database. Two groups were created, based on the presence of a DM diagnosis, and were analyzed for preoperative variables, comorbidities, and postoperative complications using SPSS statistical software. RESULTS There were 644 patients included in the analysis, 85 of whom (13.2%) had a diagnosis of DM. Patients with DM were more likely to have higher rates of preoperative dyspnea and hypertension. After accounting for confounding factors, DM patients undergoing ESS were at higher risk of overall medical complications, pneumonia, unplanned reintubation, ventilator use of >48 hours, and mortality. However, after separating patients into outpatient and inpatient groups, DM was found to be an independent predictor of urinary tract infection in outpatients and of ventilator use >48 hours in inpatients. CONCLUSION DM patients undergoing ESS are at increased risk for postoperative medical complications. However, DM does not appear to increase the postoperative surgical complication rate in this population. Furthermore, DM does not appear to have an impact on ESS mortality, readmission, or reoperation rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Many studies have reported that olfactory dysfunction frequently occurs in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) populations; however, the prevalence and degree of olfactory loss has not been systematically studied. The aims of this study were to use combined data to report the prevalence of olfactory dysfunction and to calculate weighted averages of olfactory test scores in CRS patients. DATA SOURCES A search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus, following the methods of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. REVIEW METHODS Studies reporting the prevalence of olfactory dysfunction using objective measures or olfactory test scores using validated scales were included. RESULTS A total of 47 articles were included in a systematic review and 35 in the pooled data analysis. The prevalence of olfactory dysfunction in chronic rhinosinusitis was found to be 30.0% using the Brief Smell Identification Test, 67.0% using the 40-item Smell Identification Test, and 78.2% using the total Sniffin' Sticks score. Weighted averages ± standard deviation of olfactory test scores were 25.96 ± 7.11 using the 40-item Smell Identification Test, 8.60 ± 2.81 using the Brief Smell Identification Test, 21.96 ± 8.88 using total Sniffin' Sticks score, 5.65 ± 1.51 using Sniffin' Sticks-Threshold, 9.21 ± 4.63 using Sniffin' Sticks-Discrimination, 9.47 ± 3.92 using Sniffin' Sticks-Identification, and 8.90 ± 5.14 using the Questionnaire for Olfactory Disorders-Negative Statements. CONCLUSIONS In CRS populations, a significant percentage of patients experience olfactory dysfunction, and mean olfactory scores are within the dysosmic range. Laryngoscope, 2016 127:309-320, 2017.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is underdiagnosed but significantly impacts treatment outcomes and health care utilization. OBJECTIVE To compare undiagnosed depression in a CRS cohort with a healthy, non-CRS control cohort. METHODS A case-control study of patients with symptomatic CRS and a non-CRS control cohort was performed. Demographic and comorbidity factors were correlated to depression-specific outcomes by using the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI). RESULTS We enrolled 42 patients with CRS and 88 control patients with no history of CRS. Physician-diagnosed depression was equivalent in CRS and control patients (6% and 9%, respectively). BDI-detected depression was higher among patients with CRS compared with controls (31% versus 14.8%, respectively; p = 0.031). BDI scores were higher in patients with CRS even when controlling for comorbid asthma, allergy, and aspirin sensitivity. When examined by polyp status, the patients without polyps had more depression than did the controls (38% versus 14.8%; p = 0.048). The somatic subscale scores of the BDI were worse in patients with CRS (p = 0.004), whereas the cognitive subscale trended toward significance (p = 0.081). CONCLUSION Depression may be more common in CRS than previously recognized, especially in patients without polyps. Somatic subscale scores of the BDI are increased in CRS and may impact future treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Objective To use combined pre- and postsurgical olfactory outcomes to assess the impact of endoscopic sinus surgery on chronic rhinosinusitis−related olfactory impairment. Data Sources CINAHL, Cochrane, OVID, EMBASE, PubMed, and SCOPUS. Each database was searched from inception up to October 2015. Review Methods Studies were included that reported subjective or objective olfactory data in chronic rhinosinusitis patients before and after endoscopic sinus surgery. Results Thirty-one studies were used in the meta-analysis. Weighted mean differences of olfactory measures demonstrated significant improvement in mixed CRS patients (those with and without polyps) through visual analog scales (−0.83, P = .001), altered taste/smell item on Sinonasal Outcome Test (−1.32, P < .00001), 40-item Smell Identification Test (3.49, P = .0010), and Sniffin’ Sticks identification (0.34, P = .03). Chronic rhinosinusitis mixed patients demonstrated nonsignificant improvements via Sniffin’ Sticks threshold (1.60, P = .16) and Brief Smell Identification Test (0.20, P = .32). When separated, polyp patients and dysosmic patients experienced the highest levels of olfactory improvement. Polyp patients improved by 7.87 ( P = .006) on the 40-item Smell Identification test, 11.54 ( P < .0001) with the Sniffin’ Sticks total score, and 2.57 ( P < .00001) through Sniffin’ Sticks identification. Dysosmic patients improved by 5.75 via the 40-item Smell Identification Test ( P = .0001). Conclusion Endoscopic sinus surgery improves nearly all subjective and objective measures of olfaction in chronic rhinosinusitis patients. Patients with nasal polyposis or preoperative olfactory dysfunction improve to a greater degree.
