Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2024; 171:35-44. [PMID: 38488239 DOI: 10.1002/ohn.717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Provide clinicians with current evidence for biologic therapy in children with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). DATA SOURCES PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and clinical trial registries. REVIEW METHODS Key search terms related to biologic therapy in pediatric CRSwNP were identified via a structured query of current medical literature and clinical trial databases. CONCLUSIONS There is a dearth of active clinical trials and research studies for biologics targeting pediatric CRSwNP. There is an ongoing compassionate-use clinical trial involving Dupilumab for children with nasal polyps as well as only 1 published work specifically focused on Dupilumab for pediatric CRSwNP in the setting of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE For children with atopic dermatitis, asthma, and chronic idiopathic urticaria, biologic therapies such as Omalizumab, Dupilumab, and Mepolizumab have gained Food and Drug Administration approval. The role of biologic therapy in pediatric CRSwNP demonstrates significant promise in the comprehensive management of the unified airway. Additional Phase III trials are necessary to broaden clinical indications for children with comorbid conditions and complex sinonasal disease.

Abstract
Introduction Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is frequently associated with greater inflammation, poorer prognosis, and a high recurrence rate after sinus surgery. Objective This study evaluated the clinical and imaging characteristics of eosinophilic CRSwNP in patients aged 12-17. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 139 patients aged 12-17 with bilateral CRSwNP. Clinical characteristics, computed tomography (CT) features, tissue eosinophil counts, and eosinophil activity were evaluated. Results Twenty-three (16.5%) patients had recurrent nasal polyps that required revision surgery. Patients requiring revision surgery had higher tissue eosinophil infiltration in the sinus mucosa than those not requiring revision surgery. The optimal cut-off value to distinguish the need for revision surgery was a tissue eosinophil count > 21.5/high-power field determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve. The Lund-Mackay and olfactory cleft opacification scores on CT images were significant predictors of tissue eosinophil count in the univariate analysis, and only olfactory opacification scores remained statistically significant in the multivariate analysis. Conclusion This study revealed that the CT feature of the olfactory cleft opacification score could be a significant characteristic of eosinophilic CRSwNP in adolescents.

Jones G, Hemmerich C, Rucker B, Wise A, Kee M, Johnson A, Brame L, Hamilton T, Vassar M. Harms reporting by systematic reviews for functional endoscopic sinus surgery: a cross-sectional analysis. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2023; 280:2805-2819. [PMID: 36595047 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-022-07803-y] [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: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the completeness of harms reporting in systematic reviews (SRs) pertaining to functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). METHODS Using a cross-sectional study design, we performed a comprehensive search using MEDLINE (PubMed and Ovid), EMBASE, Epistemonikos, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews databases for SRs regarding FESS on May 15th, 2022. Returns were screened and data were extracted in a masked, duplicate manner. Following established methodology, we extracted general study characteristics, harms items, and overall methodological quality for each SR in our sample. Corrected covered area (CCA) was calculated for SR dyads. For data analysis, using Stata 16.1 we performed a bivariate analysis between variables. RESULTS Fifty-five SR's were included in our sample after excluding 375 studies that did not meet our inclusion criteria. Of the included SRs, 19 (19/55, 34.5%) did not report harms and 39 (39/55, 70.9%) reported half of the harms items or fewer. Our study found that 23 (23/55, 41.8%) of SRs demonstrated a method of harms data collection, 26 (26/55, 47.3%) of SRs had patients available for harms analysis in their results, and 25 (25/55, 45.5%) of SRs had a balanced discussion of harms and benefits of FESS. Fifty-two SRs were appraised as "critically low" quality using AMSTAR-2. A significant association was found between completeness of harms reporting (Mahady) and whether harms were listed as a primary outcome. No other associations were statistically significant. Two SR dyads had CCAs between 20% and 50% overlap and were compared for unique and shared harms. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates gaps in harms reporting regarding FESS in SRs. We recommend future studies implement guidelines such as the STROCCS guidelines or the harms extension of the PRISMA guidelines to improve harms reporting. Accurate harms reporting may advance patient safety and promote a more objective risk-benefit analysis for physicians and patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Review the diagnosis and management of pediatric chronic sinusitis given recent advances in both surgical and medical management. RECENT FINDINGS Balloon catheter dilation (BCD) of the sinuses has been used as an adjunct to adenoidectomy or in lieu of traditional endoscopic sinus surgery. BCD has been shown to be a safe technique in children although its efficacy compared to maxillary sinus irrigation or traditional sinus surgery cannot be determined based on current studies. SUMMARY New advances in BCD and biologics may serve as useful adjuncts in surgical and medical therapy respectively with additional research needed to better delineate the optimal indications for each in the treatment continuum.

Clinical Evidence and Biomarkers Linking Allergy and Acute or Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Children: a Systematic Review. Curr Allergy Asthma Rep 2020; 20:68. [PMID: 32889648 PMCID: PMC7474513 DOI: 10.1007/s11882-020-00967-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Purpose of the Review We provide a systematic review of experimental and clinical evidences linking allergy to acute, including common cold, and chronic rhinosinusitis in children. Furthermore, we questioned if anti-allergy treatment may prevent the occurrence of rhinosinusitis or improve outcomes of its specific management. Recent Findings Allergic rhinitis is a common childhood disease in industrialized countries that is responsible for a major impact on quality of life and healthcare resources. Over the years many authors tried to correlate allergy with comorbidities and in particular to the onset of rhinosinusitis including common cold, even though conflicting results are frequently reached. We performed a systematic review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) process. Our search yielded 7103 that were finally screened. This resulted in 25 publications of which the full texts were assessed and included in a qualitative analysis per different phenotypes of rhinosinusitis. Summary The evidence suggests that allergy may lead to overall impairment of mechanical and immunological defense function of the nasal mucosa against viruses and that anti-allergy treatment may significantly decrease the number and severity of upper respiratory tract infections including common colds in children. It was not possible to perform the analysis for allergy and post-viral acute rhinosinusitis, bacterial acute rhinosinusitis, and recurrent acute rhinosinusitis because of paucity and heterogeneity of data. Although there is no definitive proof of causation linking allergy to chronic rhinosinusitis, studies lead to suppose that anti-allergy treatment may improve outcomes of specific CRS treatments.
