Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2024:10.1007/s00405-024-08948-8. [PMID: 39230611 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-024-08948-8] [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: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of deep learning models for the diagnosis of maxillary fungal ball rhinosinusitis (MFB) and to compare the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score with a rhinologist. METHODS Data from 1539 adult chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients who underwent paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) were collected. The overall dataset consisted of 254 MFB cases and 1285 non-MFB cases. The CT images were constructed and labeled to form the deep learning models. Seventy percent of the images were used for training the deep-learning models, and 30% were used for testing. Whole image analysis and instance segmentation analysis were performed using three different architectures: MobileNetv3, ResNet50, and ResNet101 for whole image analysis, and YOLOv5X-SEG, YOLOv8X-SEG, and YOLOv9-C-SEG for instance segmentation analysis. The ROC curve was assessed. Accuracy, sensitivity (recall), specificity, precision, and F1-score were compared between the models and a rhinologist. Kappa agreement was evaluated. RESULTS Whole image analysis showed lower precision, recall, and F1-score compared to instance segmentation. The models exhibited an area under the ROC curve of 0.86 for whole image analysis and 0.88 for instance segmentation. In the testing dataset for whole images, the MobileNet V3 model showed 81.00% accuracy, 47.40% sensitivity, 87.90% specificity, 66.80% precision, and a 67.20% F1 score. Instance segmentation yielded the best evaluation with YOLOv8X-SEG showing 94.10% accuracy, 85.90% sensitivity, 95.80% specificity, 88.90% precision, and an 89.80% F1-score. The rhinologist achieved 93.5% accuracy, 84.6% sensitivity, 95.3% specificity, 78.6% precision, and an 81.5% F1-score. CONCLUSION Utilizing paranasal sinus CT imaging with enhanced localization and constructive instance segmentation in deep learning models can be the practical promising deep learning system in assisting physicians for diagnosing maxillary fungal ball.

Abstract
Objective: Population-based studies on chronic sinusitis have predominantly focused on Europe and the Americas, but research on chronic sinusitis within large Asian populations remains scarce. This study aims to explore the link between dietary factors and chronic sinusitis among ethnic Koreans in Asia. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: Data were collected from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) in 2012. Participants: Participants in the study were included based on a doctor's diagnosis of chronic sinusitis, as determined through the ear, nose, and throat examination questionnaires. Results: Adolescents [adjusted P value (aP) < .001, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.881, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.380-2.564] and individuals with college and higher education (aP = .042, aOR = 1.298, 95% CI = 1.009-1.669) were more likely to develop chronic rhinosinusitis. In addition, levels of dietary fat [P = .001, interquartile range (IQR) = 34.085] and energy intake (P = .004, IQR = 981.106) were associated with an increased risk of chronic sinusitis. Moreover, high dietary inflammatory index (aP < .001, aOR = 0.547, 95% CI = 0.415-0.721), and high intake of fried pork chops (aP = .028, aOR = 1.335, 95% CI = 1.033-1.777), bread (aP = .024, aOR = 1.364, 95% CI = 1.042-1.786), and rice (aP = .021, aOR = 1.382, 95% CI = 1.051-1.818) were risk factors for chronic sinusitis, while cucumber consumption (aP < .001, aOR = 0.547, 95% CI = 0.415-0.721) was a protective factor for chronic sinusitis. Conclusion: This study revealed a significant correlation between diet and development of chronic sinusitis. These findings suggest that promoting an anti-inflammatory dietary pattern and providing guidance on healthy eating habits could help reduce the incidence of chronic sinusitis and enhance its management.

[PMID: 38910285 PMCID: PMC11199156 DOI: 10.4168/aair.2024.16.3.279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the impact of aeroallergens on the development and progression of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), with a focus on the specific associations between aeroallergens and CRS according to allergen type, number, and extent of sensitization. METHODS The medical records of 256 CRS patients were retrospectively analyzed. All were divided into nonallergic, house dust mite (HDM)-allergic, pollen-allergic, and double allergic groups via specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) testing. Clinical characteristics, computed tomography (CT) scores, olfactory functions, and demographic data were compared. Correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationships between the extent of allergen sensitization and CRS severity. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for hyposmia and anosmia. RESULTS The allergic group exhibited higher total CT scores than the nonallergic group (P = 0.001). Sensitivity to HDM or pollen allergens alone was not significantly associated with increased CRS severity. No significant differences were observed between the effects of HDM and pollen allergens on CRS severity. However, the double allergic group exhibited significantly higher CT scores (P < 0.001, < 0.001, and 0.003) than the other groups. Although the prevalence rates of anosmia and hyposmia were notably higher in the double allergic group, the difference was not statistically significant. The maximum specific IgE levels to HDM and pollen allergens positively correlated with the CT scores (P = 0.001 and 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Allergen sensitization, particularly to multiple common allergens, contributed to CRS severity. CRS patients sensitized to both HDM and pollen allergens tended to experience the diminished olfactory function. These findings underscore the importance of considering the allergen sensitization pattern when assessing CRS severity and its potential progression.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a highly heterogeneous disease characterized by inflammation in the nasal and sinus mucosa. The CRS phenotypes, based on the presence or absence of nasal polyps, are known as CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). However, this classification has limitations in fully capturing the mechanisms and clinical manifestations of CRS. To address the heterogeneity of CRS, there has been a growing focus on classifying the condition into distinct endotypes. Endotype classification involves grouping patients based on specific molecular, immunological, and clinical characteristics, allowing for more personalized and targeted treatment approaches.This review delves into the current state of endotype classifications for CRS. It explores the role of geographic factors, microbiome, and subphenotype in shaping different endotypes. Additionally, the review examines how various clinical features are associated with specific endotypes, providing valuable insights into tailoring treatment options for better outcomes and transitions between different endotypes.Overall, this review offers a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the intricate realm of CRS endotype classifications. By unraveling the molecular and clinical intricacies, this review lays the foundation for more precise, effective, and individualized treatment strategies in the management of CRS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore associations between inflammatory endotypes and clinical presentations in CRS. To investigate the value of secretions myeloperoxidase (MPO) and eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) detections in the diagnosis of endotypes of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), so as to provide guidance for the clinical application of MPO and ECP detection in secretions. METHODS We collected clinical symptom scores from patients with CRS and examined the differences between endotypes in clinical features. Patients' nasal secretions and polyps (or middle turbinate for control) were collected and their NEU number, EOS%, MPO and ECP levels were measured. Correlation analysis was performed for these biomarkers in secretions and tissues, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess the predictive potential of the biomarkers mentioned above in nasal secretions. RESULTS Patients with Eos+Neu+ and Eos+Neu-CRS scored highest in most clinical symptom scores, while Eos-Neu+ and Eos-Neu-CRS scored lowest. Correlation analysis showed that tissues NEU number was correlated with NEU number and MPO level in nasal secretions (R = 0.4088; 0.6613); tissues EOS % was correlated with EOS% and ECP level in nasal secretions (R = 0.2344; 0.5774). To diagnose Neu+CRS, the highest area under the curve (AUC) (0.8961) was determined for MPO in secretions; the highest AUC (0.7400) was determined for NEU number in secretions. To diagnose Eos+Neu-CRS from Eos-Neu-CRS in Neu-CRS, the highest AUC (0.8801) was determined for ECP in secretions. CONCLUSIONS Clinical presentations are directly associated with CRS endotypes. Measurement of MPO and ECP in nasal secretions is useful for the endotypes diagnosis of CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite having a similar prevalence to Western populations, literature on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in the Asian population is sparse. There is limited data on the epidemiology and aetiology of CRS in Asia. OBJECTIVES To review the current literature on the epidemiology and aetiology of CRS in Asia. METHODS This is a narrative review of published data on the epidemiology and aetiology of CRS. Studies on CRS in Asian countries, published in English and indexed on PubMed or Google Scholar were reviewed. Where available, data extracted included epidemiology, endotype and cytokine profiles and genetic profiles. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The prevalence of CRS in Asia ranges widely from 2.1% to 28.4%. Type 2 inflammation has been reported in 5%-55% of Asian patients, with lower levels of Type 2 cytokines reported in head to head comparisons of Western versus Asian patients. Notably, there exists marked heterogeneity in criterion of the tissue eosinophilic infiltration for diagnosis of type 2 CRS. Our review suggests that differences in prevalence of CRS and proportion of eosinophilic CRS between Asia and Europe and the Americas requires further study. Large-scale Asian studies utilising standardised definitions are needed to bridge this gap. Head to head genetic and microbiomal analysis may also be useful in understanding differences in CRS between the Asian and Western populations.

Abstract
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis is a heterogenous disease with variation in the endotypes of nasal polyps, with type 2 inflammation being more prevalent in Caucasian populations whereas Chinese populations are more heterogenous. We aim to describe the variation in endotypes for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis in our unique multiracial population. Methodology: Demographic, clinical and structured histopathological data of 66 patients who underwent sinus surgery for nasal polyposis were evaluated retrospectively. Results: 54.6% had eosinophilic disease, and 45.4% had non-eosinophilic disease with no significant demographic differences between the 2 populations. There were significantly higher peripheral eosinophil levels in patients with eosinophil-predominant inflammation on tissue histology (mean absolute eosinophil count 0.59 ± 0.18 x 109) compared with non-eosinophilic disease (mean absolute eosinophil count 0.24 ± 0.11 x 109). Structured histopathological reporting revealed that patients with eosinophilic disease had higher degree of inflammation and eosinophil aggregates. Conclusions: Our population is shown to have a slight preponderance toward eosinophilic disease, however the Chinese majority tended to have non-eosinophilic disease. Serum eosinophilia and the presence of asthma seems to correlate well with tissue eosinophilia, which can potentially be utilised as markers of type 2 inflammatory disease.

Predictive Values of Serum IL-33 and sST2 in Endotypes and Postoperative Recurrence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:9155080. [PMID: 35633657 PMCID: PMC9135518 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9155080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background. Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common inflammatory disease with high heterogeneity and postoperative recidivation. The IL-33/ST2 axis is known to be involved in Th2 immune responses. This study is aimed at exploring levels of serum IL-33 and soluble ST2 (sST2) in CRSwNP patients and their potential for predicting CRSwNP endotypes and postoperative recurrence. Methods. The present study recruited 149 CRSwNP patients, 80 of whom were noneosinophilic (neCRSwNP) and 69 eosinophilic (eCRSwNP), as well as 60 healthy controls (HCs). Serum samples were collected from all participants, and sST2 and IL-33 concentrations were measured using ELISA. Multivariate analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to evaluate the value of serum sST2 and IL-33 levels in distinguishing CRSwNP endotypes and predicting postoperative recurrence. Results. The levels of serum sST2 and IL-33 in CRSwNP patients were significantly higher than those in HCs, especially in the eCRSwNP group. Increased sST2 and IL-33 levels were associated with eosinophil counts and percentages in both tissue and blood. Multivariate regression and ROC curve analysis showed that serum sST2 and IL-33 exhibited potential for distinguishing CRSwNP endotypes, and the combination of serum IL-33 and sST2 showed even more predictive power. Finally, 124 CRSwNP patients completed the entire 3-year follow-up. Multivariate analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves showed that serum sST2 and IL-33 levels were associated with recurrence; serum sST2 and IL-33 each exhibited potential for predicting postoperative recurrence, and combining serum sST2 and IL-33 exhibited better accuracy and practicability. Conclusion. Our results suggested that serum sST2 and IL-33 levels were upregulated in CRSwNP patients and related to the degree of mucosal eosinophil infiltration and postoperative recurrence. Serum sST2 and IL-33 might serve as objective biomarkers for distinguishing phenotypes and predicting recurrence in CRSwNP, and their combined use outperformed either marker alone.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the differences in clinical and laboratory features between eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) and non-ECRS and to compare the diagnostic criteria for ECRS.Methods: We compared clinical features and/or laboratory findings classified as ECRS and non-ECRS according to various diagnostic criteria (histological and clinical criteria). In addition, we analyzed studies to compare endoscopic findings, symptom scores, laboratory findings, and computed tomography (CT) findings between ECRS and non-ECRS. Results: Our search included 55 studies with 6,143 patients. As a result of comparing clinical features and/or laboratory criteria with histological criteria, there were no significant differences regarding nasal symptom scores and CT scores according to criteria. Serum eosinophil levels showed differences according to criteria, however, ECRS were higher serum eosinophil levels than non-ECRS in all criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a highly heterogeneous disease and can be categorized into eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) and non-eosinophilic CRSwNP (neCRSwNP). Exploring effective biomarkers to distinguish endotypes is important for personalized therapies. The present study aims to evaluate the predictive value of serum MIF in CRSwNP endotypes. METHODS One hundred and twenty CRSwNP patients, including 51 eCRSwNP and 69 neCRSwNP, 40 chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) patients and 40 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. Serum MIF levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The patients' clinical variables were analyzed for correlations with serum MIF. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and multivariate analysis were utilized to assess the predictive value of serum MIF in CRSwNP endotypes. RESULTS The serum MIF levels were significantly higher in CRSwNP group than CRSsNP group and HC group (P < 0.001), and the serum MIF levels were increased in eCRSwNP compared to neCRSwNP group (P = 0.006). Elevated serum MIF levels were significantly correlated with blood eosinophil (B-EOS) count (r = 0.411, P < 0.001), B-EOS percentage (r = 0.377, P < 0.001), visual analog scale score (r = 0.204, P = 0.025), tissue eosinophil (T-EOS) count (r = 0.705, P < 0.001) and T-EOS percentage (r = 0.671, P < 0.001) in CRSwNP patients. ROC curve demonstrated that serum MIF exhibited good preoperative prediction in CRSwNP endotypes (area under the curve = 0.925, P < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that serum MIF was an independent factor associated with CRSwNP endotypes. CONCLUSIONS This was the first study identifying serum MIF as a possible specific biomarker for preoperatively distinguishing CRSwNP endotypes. Furthermore, the serum MIF levels were found to be closely associated with the degree of mucosal eosinophil infiltration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have asserted that diverse demographic representation in clinical trials is essential. In light of these federal guidelines, the objective of this study is to assess the racial, ethnic, and gender demographics of patients enrolled in clinical trials registered with the NIH that evaluate chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) relative to the demographics of the US population. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Not applicable. METHODS ClinicalTrials.gov was queried to identify all prospective clinical trials for CRSwNP. Individual study and pooled data were compared with national US census data. RESULTS Eighteen studies were included comprising 4125 patients and evaluating dupilumab, mepolizumab, omalizumab, fluticasone/OptiNose, MediHoney, mometasone, and SINUVA. Women constituted 42.7% of clinical trial participants. Of the 4125 participants, 69.6% identified as White, 6.6% as Black, 20.8% as Asian, 0.1% as Pacific Islander, 0.4% as American Indian, 8.0% as Hispanic, and 2.4% as other. The racial, ethnic, and gender composition of the pooled study population differs significantly from national US census data, with underrepresentation of Black, Hispanic, Pacific Island, and American Indian individuals, as well as females (P < .05). CONCLUSION The racial, ethnic, and gender demographics of patients enrolled in CRSwNP clinical trials registered with the NIH differ significantly from the demographics of the US population, despite federal guidelines advising demographically representative participation. Proactive efforts to enroll participants that better represent anticipated treatment populations should be emphasized by researchers, institutions, and editorial boards.

Abstract
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by different clinical features and treatment responsiveness. This study aimed to compare the serum metabolomics profiles between eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) and non-eosinophilic CRSwNP (neCRSwNP) and healthy controls (HC) and explore objective biomarkers for distinguishing eCRSwNP before surgery. Methods: Serum samples were collected from 33 neCRSwNP patients, 37 eCRSwNP patients, and 29 HC. Serum metabolomics profiles were investigated by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: The analysis results revealed that neCRSwNP, eCRSwNP, and HC exhibited distinctive metabolite signatures. In addition, eCRSwNP could be distinguished from neCRSwNP referring to their serum metabolic profiles, and the top ten different metabolites were citrulline, choline, linoleic acid, adenosine, glycocholic acid, L-serine, triethanolamine, 4-guanidinobutyric acid, methylmalonic acid, and L-methionine, which were related to several most important pathways including arginine and proline metabolism; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; linoleic acid metabolism; and purine metabolism. Among these distinctive metabolites, citrulline, linoleic acid, adenosine, and 4-guanidinobutyric acid showed good predictabilities, and the serum levels of citrulline, linoleic acid, and adenosine were significantly correlated with tissue eosinophil (T-EOS) percentage and T-EOS count. Conclusion: eCRSwNP patients exhibited discriminative serum metabolic signatures in comparison with neCRSwNP patients and HC. These results suggested that metabolomics profiles contributed to understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of CRSwNP and distinguishing its phenotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) remains a difficult-to-cure disease. The aim of this study was to determine the potential long-term predictors of revision sinus surgery for CRSwNP. METHODS Prospectively gathered patients with bilateral CRSwNP who received primary endoscopic sinus surgery were enrolled. Clinical variables, including the preoperative Lund-Mackay score (LMS), were collected to clarify possible risk factors for revision surgery within a 5-year follow-up. The symptomatic burden was measured using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) before and 1 year after surgery. Further survival analysis was performed to present the revision-free survival in Kaplan-Meier plotting. RESULTS Eighty four qualified patients were identified and all of them experienced significant improvement in VAS after primary surgery. The 5-year revision rate was 19.05%, and the mean time of revision surgery was 25.31 ± 17.11 months postoperatively. Nasal allergy (OR = 9.287; p = 0.011) and LMS (OR = 1.29; p = 0.06) were found to be the independent risk factors for revision surgery. The discriminatory power of LMS for revision surgery was acceptable (AUC = 0.79) with the best cutoff point located at LMS > 13.5. Patients with both nasal allergy and LMS≧14 had only half of revision-free survival in comparison to overall survival (38.1% vs. 80.95%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In patients with CRSwNP who have concurrent nasal allergy and higher preoperative LMS may indicate an advanced disease status and eventually be in a high risk of revision surgery after a long-term follow-up. An outcome-based staging system will be helpful in the future to improve the prognosis for CRSwNP.

Abstract
Eosinophilic airway inflammation is observed in 30% to 50% of chronic cough sufferers. It is a common feature of asthma and upper airway cough syndrome, and it is required in the diagnosis of nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis. Our understanding of the mechanisms underlying allergic and nonallergic eosinophilic inflammation have evolved tremendously in the last 2 decades, but the cause of this inflammation in any individual is often uncertain. Inhaled corticosteroids are the mainstay therapy for cough due to asthma or nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis, and response is related to the presence of biomarkers of eosinophilic airway inflammation. In upper airway cough syndrome, nasal topical corticosteroids are beneficial in allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis. This review will describe the diagnosis, current and possible future treatments, and prognosis of chronic cough in adults with eosinophilic inflammation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Eosinophilic and noneosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP and NECRSwNP) show distinguished clinical pathology, but their underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the clinical, hematological, and histopathological changes in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) endotypes and its association with microbiota. STUDY DESIGN A comparative cross-sectional study. METHODS A comparative study of 46 patients with CRSwNP (34.69 ± 16.39 years old) who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery were recruited and subdivided into ECRSwNP and NECRSwNP groups based on eosinophilic tissue inflammation; 12 healthy controls were also included. A structured histopathological analysis was conducted, and complete blood count was determined in patients. Endoscopic-guided middle meatus swabs and fecal samples were collected from the patients and controls and subsequently subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing on Illumina MiSeq. RESULTS Compared to NECRSwNP, ECRSwNP showed a statistically significant increase in the computed tomography score, endoscopic score, blood eosinophil percentage, tissue eosinophil count, inflammation degree, subepithelial edema, and eosinophil aggregation. Airway microbiota communities differed among the three groups. The abundance of Moraxella and Parvimonas was significantly higher in the ECRSwNP group. Distinct microbiota dysbiosis in CRSwNP endotypes was found to be correlated with different clinical pathologies. Moreover, the gut microbiota in ECRSwNP and NECRSwNP showed dysbiosis, that is, significant decrease in the abundance of Actinobacteria in the former and significant increase in the abundance of Enterobacterales and several genera in NECRSwNP. CONCLUSIONS Significant clinical pathology and microbiota changes were evident in patients with ECRSwNP and NECRSwNP. Distinct microbiota dysbiosis was correlated with different clinical pathologies. Understanding these differences may improve the prognosis and treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 131:E34-E44, 2021.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) is a histological subtype of CRS that is generally recognised as being more difficult to manage. Patients with ECRS tend to have greater disease severity and poorer treatment outcomes after sinus surgery when compared with non-ECRS patients. The histopathology and biomarker assessments of ECRS are often unavailable prior to surgery and may be impractical and costly to analyse. Thus, the primary objective of this study was to understand clinical comorbidities associated with ECRS. DESIGN/SETTING We searched three independent databases for articles that reported clinical CRS comorbidities associated with tissue eosinophilia. Data from studies with the same reported comorbidities were pooled, and a forest plot analysis was used to assess potential associations with four different conditions including allergic rhinitis, ASA sensitivity, asthma and atopy. The association between the phenotype of nasal polyps and ECRS was also quantified as a secondary objective. ECRS cut-off levels were as defined by papers included. MAIN OUTCOME/RESULTS Eighteen articles were identified. The presence of nasal polyps (the first numbers in brackets represent odds ratios) (5.85, 95% CI [3.61, 9.49], P < .00001), ASA sensitivity (5.63, 95% CI [3.43, 9.23], P < .00001), allergic rhinitis (1.84, 95% CI [1.27, 2.67], P = .001) and asthma (3.15, 95% CI [2.61, 3.82], P < .00001) were found to be significantly associated with tissue eosinophilia. Atopy, however, was not significantly associated with tissue eosinophilia (1.71, 95% CI [0.59, 4.95], P = .32). CONCLUSION Certain clinical disease characteristics such as ASA sensitivity, allergic rhinitis and asthma are more associated with CRS patients with eosinophilia when compared to those without eosinophilia. The phenotype of nasal polyps was also associated with ECRS. It is important for surgeons to recognise these comorbidities to ensure correct diagnoses, management and follow-up are implemented.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common condition that significantly affects patients' life. This work aims to provide an up-to-date overview of CRSwNP in older adults, focusing on its aging-related clinical presentations, pathophysiology, and comorbidity associations including asthma. RECENT FINDINGS Recent large population-based studies using nasal endoscopy have shown that CRSwNP is a mostly late-onset disease. Age-related changes in physiologic functions, including nasal epithelial barrier dysfunction, may underlie the incidence and different clinical presentations of CRSwNP in older adults. However, there is still a paucity of evidence on the effect of aging on phenotypes and endotypes of CRSwNP. Meanwhile, late-onset asthma is a major comorbid condition in patients with CRSwNP; they frequently present with type 2 inflammatory signatures that are refractory to conventional treatments when they are comorbid. However, as they are more commonly non-atopic, causative factors other than classical atopic sensitization, such as Staphylococcus aureus specific IgE sensitization, are suggested to drive the type 2 inflammation. There are additional comorbidity associations in older patients with CRSwNP, including those with chronic otitis media and head and neck malignancy. Age is a major determinant for the incidence and clinical presentations of CRSwNP. Given the heterogeneity in phenotypes and endotypes, longitudinal investigations are warranted to elucidate the effects of aging on CRSwNP.

Abstract
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) frequently presents with dysfunction or loss of the sense of smell, resulting in a significant impairment in quality of life. The medical treatments currently available may improve the olfactory function in patients with CRSwNP, but such an outcome is generally only transitory. We report the case of a patient with CRSwNP who completely recovered from smell sense loss by treatment with mepolizumab. Case presentation The patient was a 62-year-old female who has severe asthma induced by allergy to Dermatophagoides and concomitant CRSwNP. Any treatment for the latter, including oral and injective corticosteroids, was unsuccessful in the loss of smell. Due to the satisfaction of admission criteria to mepolizumab treatment for severe asthma, treatment was initiated on March 2018, resulting in good clinical control of both asthma and CRSwNP, and particularly in complete recovery of the smell loss after 4 months of treatment and still persisting. Conclusion In this case report, the treatment with mepolizumab in a patient allergic to Dermatophagoides and affected by CRSwNP was associated with an improvement of anosmia. That finding may be explained by a reduction of the nasal obstruction by nasal polyps.
