Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW There is an incomplete understanding regarding the extent of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in managing chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and its effect on outcomes. This study aimed to assess and compare limited sinus surgery, full-house, extended and radical ESS for optimizing CRS outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS An online search in adherence with PRISMA guidelines was performed. Data were pooled for meta-analysis. Forty-six articles met inclusion criteria. Full-house ESS yielded greater improvements in SNOT-22 and endoscopy scores over limited ESS. Radical ESS improved nasal symptoms and reduced disease recurrence more than full house ESS, while extended ESS decreased revision ESS rates when compared to full-house ESS. Total ethmoidectomy reduced SNOT-22 scores more than limited ethmoidectomy. There was no difference in perioperative complications for all extents of ESS. When compared to limited ESS, full-house ESS yielded better patient symptom outcomes. Radical ESS demonstrated even greater reductions in nasal symptoms, while extended ESS additionally decreased revision surgery rates. Thus, in general, greater extent of ESS leads to better outcomes, while all extents of ESS are relatively safe.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2024:10.1007/s00405-024-08832-5. [PMID: 39001916 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-024-08832-5] [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: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze recurrence patterns of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) in patients who underwent complete FESS and identify predisposing factors for different patterns of recurrence. METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients with CRSwNP who underwent complete FESS at our tertiary medical center. Recurrence patterns were classified into edema, polyp and normal endoscopy, as well as into early (within 6 months) and late recurrence. Statistical analysis to identify risk factors for recurrence included univariate, multivariate logistic regression and cox regression models. RESULTS 114 patients were included with an average follow-up of 27 months. 91% were categorized as type-2 inflammation. Recurrence was observed in 65.8% of patients within a mean of 12.9 months. 46.7% had polyp recurrence while 53.3% had edema recurrence. Early recurrence was observed in 41%. Serum eosinophilia > 500 cells/uL was found to be significantly associated with recurrence (RR = 1.62, p-value = 0.046), and particularly with polyp recurrence (RR = 3.9, p-value = 0.001). No predictive factors for early recurrence were identified. Edema recurrence was managed with intranasal corticosteroids while polyp recurrence required systemic therapy including biologic therapy. CONCLUSIONS In this study, two thirds of patients experienced post operative recurrence, either mucosal edema or nasal polyps, with similar frequency during an average follow up of over 2 years. Early recurrence was noted in 41% of recurrent cases. Serum eosinophils > 500 cells/uL was the only risk factor for recurrence on multivariate analysis, more accurate markers are needed for improved treatment allocation to CRSwNP patients.

Effectiveness of dupilumab versus endoscopic sinus surgery for the treatment of type-2 chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps: a preliminary report. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2024; 281:1317-1324. [PMID: 37910208 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-023-08309-x] [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: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Historically managed with intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) and endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), type-2 Chronic RhinoSinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP) treatment was revolutionized by the introduction of dupilumab but universally accepted guidelines are still lacking. METHODS Patients treated at our University Hospital for type-2 CRSwNP were enrolled. Demographic data were collected, as well as laboratory (eosinophils, total IgE), endoscopic [nasal polyps score (NPS), modified Lund-Kennedy score (mLKS)], radiological [Lund-Mackay score (LMS) at CT scan], SNOT-22, and olfactory [Sniffin' Sticks identification test (SSIT)] features. Patients were treated with dupilumab or ESS and re-evaluated after 3 and 12 months. RESULTS At 3 and 12 months, patients undergoing ESS achieved a higher reduction of NPS and mLKS, while patients receiving dupilumab experienced a higher improvement at SNOT-22 and SSIT with a greater positive variation in the prevalence of anosmia (- 57.7% vs - 42.9%) and normosmia (+ 37.8 vs + 28.5%). Mean mLKS and LMS were quite similar. Results were independent of clinical features known to contribute to CRSwNP severity, except for patients with ≥ 2 prior ESS who had a significantly lower smell improvement. CONCLUSION ESS and dupilumab were effective at reducing CRSwNP inflammatory burning. CRSwNP smell impairment cannot be attributed only to olfactory cleft obstruction and other mechanisms may be involved. Dupilumab acts systemically with poor correlation with NPS. As of today, dupilumab appears to be more suitable for elderly patients with anesthesiological contraindications and/or several previous surgeries, while ESS may represent the first-line choice in surgery-naive patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The advances in the knowledge of the molecular basis of the inflammatory response in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) have led the management of these patients towards personalized and precision medicine. Surgery has been positioned as a suitable alternative in patients who do not achieve control with appropriate medical treatment, but polypoid recurrences remain a constraint. The emergence of new surgical approaches based on patient phenotyping and the poor disease control associated with type 2 inflammatory phenotype makes it necessary to review the role of personalized and precision surgery in managing the disease. RECENT FINDINGS Surgical approaches based on wide resection of bony sinus structures and the treatment of mucosa lining the sinonasal cavity have been analyzed and compared with other techniques and seem to offer more favorable surgical outcomes and improved quality of life (QoL), in addition to lower relapse rates. The innovations with new complementary surgical techniques, such as reboot surgery adding an extended autologous mucosal graft from the nasal floor (mucoplasty), may benefit endoscopic and QoL outcomes in the most severe CRSwNP patients with type 2 phenotype. Using bilateral endonasal mucoplasty as a complementary technique to reboot surgery is a suitable technical choice that has improved short- and medium-term QoL and endoscopic outcomes for patients with severe CRSwNP. These results are likely due to a combination of the extension of reboot and the inherent inflammatory and healing properties of mucoplasty. We propose this technique as a valuable surgical resource, although more robust clinical studies are needed to evaluate its long-term benefits comprehensively.

Abstract
Introduction Aspirin desensitization (AD) and aspirin therapy after desensitization (ATAD) are therapeutic interventions for patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). Our aim is to investigate whether its addition to endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) improves the overall prognosis of the disease. Methods A systematic review of the current literature including adult patients with a positive diagnosis of AERD undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in the context or in absence of upper airway comorbidity, prior to AD + ATAD. Conclusion This review concludes that the surgical approach is beneficial in AERD, but its effects are short-lived. Surgery should be considered initially with subsequent AD + ATAD in AERD patients, due to the sustained improvement achieved compared to those receiving ESS alone.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), especially CRSwNP with type 2 inflammation, remains the most difficult-to-treat subtype with high prevalence worldwide. The emergence of biologics has the potential to fulfill the unmet medical needs of patients with CRSwNP driven by type 2 inflammation. AREAS COVERED A current review of the literature was performed to overview current and emerging biological therapies in the treatment of CRSwNP. EXPERT OPINION In an era of precision medicine, biologics have been given expectations to provide customized therapies to patients with CRSwNP, particularly those with refractory CRSwNP. Large clinical trials and real-world experiences are both essential for the application of biologics. Moreover, to make biological therapy more tailored to patients, an in-depth understanding of the different mechanisms of biologics, further elucidating the relationship between biologics and conventional medical and surgical treatments, and identifying predictive biomarkers warrant thorough investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains a common and challenging clinical entity, and its economic burden has not been well described in China thus far. METHODS A total of 101 CRSwNP patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery were included to investigate direct costs in the first year post-surgery. Costs for outpatient visits, medication use, and examination costs were obtained from the Hospital Information System, and differences were compared between subgroups. Multiple linear regression analysis was adopted to investigate the main influencing factors on annual total direct costs for CRSwNP patients. RESULTS Ninety-two subjects completed the study. The individual mean total direct cost for a CRSwNP patient 1 year post-surgery was $742.4. The largest contributors were pharmacy costs ($580.2), followed by examination costs ($108.1) and outpatient visits ($54.1). Total direct costs were higher in subgroups of patients with uncontrolled clinical status, asthma comorbidity, and eosinophilic CRSwNP compared to their counterparts. The main influencing factors were clinical control status (P = 0.016) and asthma comorbidity (P = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS The individual mean total direct cost of CRSwNP in 1-year post-surgery was $742.4. Clinical control status and asthma comorbidity influence these costs and are therefore important in guiding health resources allocation for CRSwNP management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease, and its complex pathophysiological characteristics pose a challenge to its clinical treatment. CRS is distinguished not only by clinical phenotype but also by endotype characteristics, which are divided into type 2 CRS and non-type 2 CRS. AREAS COVERED In this review, we summarize and discuss current studies that depict the mechanisms and endotypes of CRS. In particular, inflammatory cells and the microbiome play a role in the pathophysiology of CRS. We also listed some of the biomarkers described in recent studies that may serve as a theoretical foundation for additional investigations. We have summarized the advantages and disadvantages of existing treatments and listed the available biological treatments for CRS in detail. EXPERT OPINION Endotype-driven therapeutic options face many challenges because of the complexity of the disease. Glucocorticoids, nasal endoscopic surgery, and biological therapy are the main treatments used in clinical practice, but they have limitations. This review provides advice on the clinical management and treatment options for patients with different endotypes, which will be more conducive to improving the quality of life and reducing the financial burden on patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to identify the histopathologic characteristics associated with difficult-to-treat chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNPs), enabling physicians to predict the risk of poor outcome after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). METHODS A prospective cohort study performed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2015 and December 2018 with CRSwNP patients who underwent ESS. Polyp specimens were collected during surgery and were subjected to structured histopathological evaluation. Difficult-to-treat CRSwNPs were determined at 12-15 months post-operation according to the European Position Paper. Multiple logistic regression model was used to assess the association between histopathological parameters and the difficult-to-treat CRSwNP. RESULTS Among 174 subjects included in the analysis, 49 (28.2%) were classified with difficult-to-treat CRSwNP, which had higher numbers of total inflammatory cells, tissue eosinophils, and percentages of eosinophil aggregates and Charcot-Leyden crystals (CLC) formation but a lower number of interstitial glands than the nondifficult-to-treat CRSwNP. Inflammatory cell infiltration (adjusted OR: 1.017), tissue eosinophilia (adjusted OR: 1.005), eosinophil aggregation (adjusted OR: 3.536), and CLC formation (adjusted OR: 6.972) were independently associated with the difficult-to-treat outcome. Furthermore, patients with tissue eosinophil aggregation and CLC formation had an increasingly higher likelihood of uncontrolled disease versus those with tissue eosinophilia. CONCLUSION The difficult-to-treat CRSwNP appears to be characterized by increased total inflammatory infiltrates, tissue eosinophilia, eosinophil aggregation, and CLC formation in structured histopathology.

Abstract
Objective This narrative review analyses factors affecting recurrence of Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) after surgery, such as type, extension and completeness of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). We also described new implications in the management of recurrences after the advent of biologics. Methods We identified four topics: definition of disease state; factors linked to recurrence of polyps; evaluation and management of recurrence in clinical practice. Results We analysed the differences between exacerbation and recurrence, as well as the concept of "controlled disease". We focused on potential predictors of recurrence after ESS, such as type 2 inflammation, asthma, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, incomplete initial surgery and lack of adherence to long-term post-operative local corticosteroids. We discussed the new aspects of diagnosis and treatment of recurrences after surgery, summarising our suggestions in a detailed algorithm for practical management of patients with recurrent disease. Conclusions The results emphasised the importance of accurate evaluation of patients with CRSwNP recurrence, focusing on the reasons of failure and risk of disease progression, in order to guide personalised interventions. It is crucial to define the concept of appropriate surgery, which affects the choice between starting a biologic or repeating surgery.

Abstract
Objective Our objective was to specify the indications and duration of effectiveness of Awake Patient Polyp Surgery (APPS) in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP). Secondary objectives were to evaluate complications and Patient-Reported Experience (PREMs) and Outcome Measures (PROMs). Methods We collected information regarding sex, age, comorbidities and treatments. Duration of effectiveness was the duration of non-recurrence defined by the time between APPS and a new treatment. Nasal Polyp Score (NPS) and Visual Analogic Scales (VAS, from 0/10 to 10/10) for nasal obstruction and olfactory disorders were assessed preoperatively and one month after surgery. PREMs were evaluated using a new tool: the APPS score. Results Seventy-five patients were enrolled (SR = 3.1, mean age = 60.9 ± 12.3 years). 60% of patients had a previous history of sinus surgery, 90% had stage 4 NPS and more than 60% had overuse of systemic corticosteroids. Mean time of non-recurrence was 31.3 ± 2.3 months. We found a significant improvement (all p < 0.001) for NPS (3.8 ± 0.4 vs 1.5 ± 0.6), VAS obstruction (9.5 ± 1.6 vs 0.9 ± 1.7) and VAS olfactory disorders (4.9 ± 0.2 vs 3.8 ± 1.7). Mean APPS score was 46.3 ± 5.5/50. Conclusions APPS is a safe and efficient procedure in the management of CRSwNP.

Abstract
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a clinical syndrome primarily characterized by long-term mucosal inflammation of the nasal cavity and sinuses. The pathogenesis of CRS is still unclear due to its high heterogeneity. A number of studies have recently focused on the sinonasal epithelium. Thus, there has been a quantum leap in awareness of the role of the sinonasal epithelium, which is now understood as an active functional organ rather than simply an inert mechanical barrier. Undoubtedly, epithelial dysfunction plays a vital role in the onset and development of CRS. Objective In this article, we discuss the potential contribution of sinonasal epithelium dysfunction to CRS pathogenesis and explore a few current and developing therapeutic options targeting the sinonasal epithelium. Results Impaired mucociliary clearance (MCC) and an abnormal sinonasal epithelial barrier are usually considered to be the main causative factors in CRS. Epithelial-derived bioactive substances, such as cytokines, exosomes, and complements, play a vital role in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity and contribute to the pathophysiological alterations of CRS. The phenomena of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), mucosal remodeling, and autophagy observed in CRS offer some novel insights into the pathogenesis of this disease. In addition, existing treatment options targeting disorder of sinonasal epithelium can help to relieve the main symptoms associated with CRS to some extent. Conclusion The presence of a normal epithelium is fundamental for maintaining homeostasis in the nasal and paranasal sinuses. Here, we describe various aspects of the sinonasal epithelium and highlight the contributions of epithelial dysfunction to CRS pathogenesis. Our review provides sound evidence of the need for in-depth study of the pathophysiological alterations of this disease and for the development of novel epithelium-targeting alternative treatments.

Exploration of Predictive Biomarkers for Postoperative Recurrence in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps Based on Serum Multiple-Cytokine Profiling. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:1061658. [PMID: 36211987 PMCID: PMC9534722 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1061658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Functional nasal endoscopic surgery (FESS) is an effective treatment approach for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients, but some patients still suffer from postoperative recurrence. This study is aimed at investigating the expression of multiple cytokines in CRSwNP and revealing their relationships with postoperative recurrence. Methods A total of 72 patients with CRSwNP, including 36 primary and 36 recurrent patients, were enrolled. Serum samples were obtained, 30 cytokine levels were measured by multiplex analysis, and the association between cytokine levels and recurrence was assessed. The most potential cytokines were further validated in another independent cohort with 60 primary and 60 recurrent CRSwNP patients. Results The results of multiple cytokine profiling exhibited that the levels of eotaxin, G-CSF, IFN-α, IL-13, IL-17A, IL-5, MCP-1, and RANTES were vastly changed in the recurrent group in comparison with the primary group. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves highlighted that serum levels of eotaxin, IL-17A, and RANTES were strongly predictive of postoperative recurrence (area under the curve (AUC) > 0.7, P < 0.05). Further validation results showed that elevated serum eotaxin, IL-17A, and RANTES levels were enhanced in the recurrent group. The ROC curve showed that serum eotaxin (AUC = 0.729, P < 0.001) and RANTES (AUC = 0.776, P < 0.001) exhibited stronger ability than serum IL-17A (AUC = 0.617, P = 0.027) in predicting CRSwNP recurrence. Conclusion Our data suggested that serum multiple cytokine profiling was associated with postoperative recurrence of CRSwNP, and eotaxin and RANTES might serve as potential biomarkers for predicting postoperative recurrence. These results might contribute to the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of recurrence and provide novel clues for precision therapy in CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, the surgical treatment of sinusitis with nasal polyps has made great progress, but its recurrence rate is still high. Therefore, this time, meta-analysis is used to study the therapeutic effect of endoscopic sinus surgery on children with chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps, analyze its effectiveness and safety, and provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment. METHODS Boolean logic searching was adopted to retrieve articles from various databases, including PubMed, Medline, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), published from the establishment of the database to December 30, 2021. The following search terms were used: "endoscopic sinus surgery", "antrochoanal polyps", "chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps", and "nasal polyps". Comparative studies on traditional surgical treatment and endoscopic sinus surgery were also screened out. Review Manager was utilized for meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 9 references were included in the study, and most of them were low risk bias (medium and high quality). Meta-analysis showed that there was no statistical heterogeneity between the control group and the experimental group (Chi2=0.03, I2=0%, P=0.98). According to the fixed effect model analysis, the number of patients with polyp formation in the experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group (Z=2.65, P=0.008). Compared with the control group, there is no statistical heterogeneity in the postoperative recurrence (Chi2=1.59, I2=0%, P=0.45). According to the analysis of fixed effect model, the postoperative recurrence in the experimental group is significantly less than that in the control group (Z=2.92, OR =2.78, 95% CI: 1.40-5.52, P=0.004). Compared with the control group, the results of postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) were statistically different (Chi2=12.63, I2=84%, P=0.002). According to the random effect model analysis, the VAS score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (Z=18.06, MD =4.51, 95% CI: 3.96-5.05, P<0.00001). DISCUSSION Endoscopic sinus surgery could reduce the postoperative recurrence and pain of patients, and showed high curative effects and safety in the treatment of children with chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in asthmatic patients has a high recurrence rate even after surgery. For this reason, oral steroids are frequently used, but their long-term use may cause side effects. The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term effects of budesonide nasal irrigation (BNI) in CRSwNP and asthma. An analysis of 33 patients with CRSwNP and well-controlled asthma, who performed BNI for more than 12 months, was performed. We compared oral steroid and antibiotic dosages as well as nasal endoscopy scores before, and every six months after, BNI. The six-month dosages of oral steroids and antibiotics prescribed were significantly decreased at all time points after BNI compared to before BNI. When the dosages were compared at the time point immediately preceding six months, oral steroid intake decreased significantly until 12 months, and antibiotic intake decreased until 6 months. Furthermore, the endoscopic score decreased significantly until 12 months. The nasal symptom questionnaire score also significantly improved after BNI. Therefore, BNI is considered an effective treatment method that can improve subjective symptoms and objective intranasal findings while reducing oral steroid and antibiotic doses after long-term use in patients with CRSwNP accompanied by asthma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Revision endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is often considered for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) if maximal conservative treatment and baseline ESS prove insufficient. Emerging research outlines the risk factors of revision ESS. However, accurately predicting revision ESS at the individual level remains uncertain. This study aims to examine the prediction accuracy of revision ESS and to identify the effects of risk factors at the individual level. METHODS We collected demographic and clinical variables from the electronic health records of 767 surgical CRS patients ≥16 years of age. Revision ESS was performed on 111 (14.5%) patients. The prediction accuracy of revision ESS was examined by training and validating different machine learning models, while the effects of variables were analysed using the Shapley values and partial dependence plots. RESULTS The logistic regression, gradient boosting and random forest classifiers performed similarly in predicting revision ESS. Area under the receiving operating characteristic curve (AUROC) values were 0.744, 0.741 and 0.730, respectively, using data collected from the baseline visit until six months after baseline ESS. The length of time during which data were collected improved the prediction performance. For data collection times of 0, 3, 6 and 12 months after baseline ESS, AUROC values for the logistic regression were 0.682, 0.715, 0.744 and 0.784, respectively. The number of visits before or after baseline ESS, the number of days from the baseline visit to the baseline ESS, patient age, CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), asthma, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug exacerbated respiratory disease and immunodeficiency or suspicion of it all associated with revision ESS. Patient age and number of visits before baseline ESS carried non-linear effects for predictions. CONCLUSIONS Intelligent data analysis identified important predictors of revision ESS at the individual level, such as the frequency of clinical visits, patient age, Type 2 high diseases and immunodeficiency or a suspicion of it.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a current procedure for treating patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Image-guided surgery (IGS) for ESS may help reduce complications and improve precision. However, it is uncertain in which cases IGS is beneficial. This work aims to compare ESS with and without IGS in patients with CRS. METHODS AND ANALYSIS PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, LILACS and Clinicaltrials.gov will be searched for reported clinical trials comparing the quality of life and perioperative outcomes of ESS with and without navigation. The search is planned for 20 April 2022. Three independent authors will select eligible articles and extract their data. The risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. The Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation method will evaluate the strength of the evidence. Data synthesis will be performed using the Review Manager software V.5.4.1. To assess heterogeneity, I2 statistics will be computed. Additionally, meta-analysis will be performed if the included studies are sufficiently homogenous. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study reviews published data, and thus it is not necessary to obtain ethical approval. The findings of this systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020214791.

Abstract
Background Research on the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has increased in recent decades. We undertook a bibliometric and visualization analysis of studies on CRS treatment to track research trends and highlight current research “hotspots”. Methods Original publications related to CRS treatment were obtained from the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) databases in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) of Clarivate Analytics between 2001 and 2020. The country/region, institution, author, journal, references, and keywords involved in this topic were extracted using CiteSpace and VOSviewer to identify and analyze the research focus and trends in this field. Results In the previous two decades (especially after 2015), the number of publications on CRS treatment has grown markedly. With regard to publications and access to collaborative networks, the leading country was the USA. High-frequency keywords were “CRS,” “endoscopic sinus surgery,” “sinusitis,” “nasal polyps,” “asthma,” “rhinosinusitis,” “management,” “diagnosis,” “outcomes,” and “quality of life.” Inspection of keyword bursts suggested that “clinical practice guideline,” “adult CRS,” “innate lymphoid cell,” “recurrence,” and “mepolizumab” are the emerging research hotspots. The timeline view of the cluster map revealed that biologic agents have become an up-and-coming “hot topic” in CRS treatment in recent years. Conclusion Academic understanding of CRS treatment has improved markedly over the past 20 years. We study analyzed the papers objectively, methodically, and comprehensively, and identified hotspots and prospective trends in the field of CRS treatment. These results will aid rhinologists in gaining greater insight into CRS treatment strategies and identifying the changing dynamics of CRS research.

Abstract
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammation of the sinonasal mucosa that is clinically associated with sinus pressure, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, and a decreased sense of smell that lasts more than 12 weeks. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for medically refractory CRS is mainly undergone to improve sinus function and access to topical medicinal treatments. However, olfactory changes after ESS can be unpredictable. Aim The current study aimed to assess olfactory change patterns after endoscopic sinus surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Methods A record-based retrospective study was conducted in Aseer Central Hospital (ACH) ear, nose, and throat outpatient (ENT OPD) department and Khamis Mushayt General Hospital from August 15, 2021, to December 15, 2021. Data were collected using pre-structured data extraction sheet to avoid errors. Data extracted and collected included patients' biodemographic data, CRS-associated symptoms, and endoscopic surgery-related data, including duration since surgery, presurgical medications, and duration of surgery. Also, postsurgical complications were extracted, especially olfactory complications. Results A total of 168 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and who had undergone endoscopic sinus surgery in the Aseer region were included. Patient ages ranged from 10 to 61 years, with a mean age of 39.8 ± 12.4 years old. Regarding the associated symptoms and complaints of the study patients, 110 (65.5%) complained of sinusitis, and 86 (51.2%) had allergic RS. The postsurgical complications of patients with CRS who had undergone endoscopic sinus surgery were olfactory dysfunction (OD) in 32 (19%), no complications in 115 (68.55%), and other nonspecific complications, such as headache, drowsiness, nose dryness, and bleeding, in 21 (12.55%). Also, 71 (42.3%) reported that they hardly perceive the fragrance in perfumeries. Conclusion In conclusion, olfactory impairment is a frequent clinical presentation in patients with CRS. In this study, olfactory dysfunction was improved, except among nearly one out of each five patients after ESS. Olfactory dysfunction was more among patients who had undergone recent surgery and those with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Also, among patients who reported no complications, olfactory function did not return to normal in most patients as they hardly perceive fragrance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence regarding long-term postoperative follow-up of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients is scarce in the literature. The objective of the present study was to report long-term 12-year postoperative outcomes for CRSwNP patients. METHODS CRSwNP patients were prospectively followed after endoscopic sinus surgery. Sinonasal symptoms, nasal polyp score (NPS), Barcelona Smell Test 24 (BAST-24), Lund-Mackay Score (LMS), and Medical Outcome Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire were assessed before and 12 years after surgery. RESULTS At long-term follow-up (median, 12 years), a strong improvement was noted for all patients (N=76) in nasal symptoms score, NPS, BAST-24, and LMS scores compared with baseline. No long-term improvement in SF-36 was found. CONCLUSION Patients with CRSwNP have a long-term 12-year postoperative improvement in nasal symptoms, polyp size, computed tomography, and olfaction.

Abstract
This review considers ethical dilemmas which may present when introducing the use of biologic treatments alongside existing treatments in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Biologic therapies offer hope to patients with diseases recalcitrant to conventional therapies but are often significantly more expensive. Reducing the need for surgery may act as a disincentive for use within surgical specialities, while reimbursement for administration has the potential to encourage inappropriate use. Any treatment should be used considering the principles of beneficence (offering the most effective treatment to the patient) and non-maleficence (minimising the risk of harm); the challenges of comparing the different available treatment options are considered. Patient autonomy should be involved a process of shared decision making, but when a third-party payor is involved they may seek to place restrictions on access to treatments that limit the choice of both patient and physician. Such decisions are often based on the cost-effectiveness of novel treatments relative to standard of care; published models suggest that at current market prices, biologics are less cost-effective in all groups that standard care. Social justice (fair distribution of limited healthcare resources) therefore may mandate rationing of access. To this end, working as part of professional organisations or research groups, physicians often produce guidelines that help to identify those in greatest need of novel treatments. The challenges in creating and applying these guidelines are also considered.

S100A4/TCF Complex Transcription Regulation Drives Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Chronic Sinusitis Through Wnt/GSK-3β/β-Catenin Signaling. Front Immunol 2022; 13:835888. [PMID: 35154161 PMCID: PMC8832002 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.835888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 01/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is thought to be involved in the tissue remodeling and long-term inflammatory process of chronic sinusitis (CRS), but the driving mechanism is still unclear. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, we performed a proteomic screen of CRS nasal mucosal tissue to identify differentially expressed proteins. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD030884. Specifically, we identified S100 calcium binding protein A4 (S100A4), an effective factor in inflammation-related diseases, and its downstream protein closely related to tissue fibrosis collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1), which suggested its involvement in nasal mucosal tissue remodeling. In addition, stimulation of human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mimicked the inflammatory environment of CRS and showed that S100A4 is involved in regulating EMT and thus accelerating tissue remodeling in the nasal mucosa, both in terms of increased cell motility and overexpression of mesenchymal-type proteins. Additionally, we further investigated the regulation mechanism of S100A4 involved in EMT in CRS. Our research results show that in the inflammatory environment of CRS nasal mucosal epithelial cells, TCF-4 will target to bind to S100A4 and regulate its transcription. The transcription of S100A4 in turn affects the execution of the important signaling pathway in EMT, the Wnt/GSK-3β/β-catenin pathway, through the TCF-4/β-catenin complex. In conclusion, this study confirmed that the expression of S100A4 was significantly increased during the progressive EMT process of CRS mucosal epithelial cells, and revealed that the transcriptional regulation of S100A4 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of EMT. This finding will help us to better understand the pathogenesis behind the remodeling in CRS patients, and identify target molecules for the treatment of CRS.

Abstract
We look back at the end of what soon will be seen as an historic year, from COVID-19 to real-world introduction of biologicals influencing the life of our patients. This review describes the important findings in Rhinology over the past year. A large body of evidence now demonstrates loss of sense of smell to be one of the most common symptoms of COVID-19 infection; a meta-analysis of 3563 patients found the mean prevalence of self-reported loss to be 47%. A number of studies have now shown long-term reduced loss of smell and parosmia. Given the high numbers of people affected by COVID-19, even with the best reported recovery rates, a significant number worldwide will be left with severe olfactory dysfunction. The most prevalent causes for olfactory dysfunction, besides COVID-19 and upper respiratory tract infections in general, are trauma and CRSwNP. For these CRSwNP patients a bright future seems to be starting with the development of treatment with biologics. This year the Nobel prize in Medicine 2021 was awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch which has greatly enhanced our understanding of nasal hyperreactivity and understanding of intranasal trigeminal function. Finally, a new definition of chronic rhinitis has been proposed in the last year and we have seen many papers emphasizing the importance of endotyping patients in chronic rhinitis and rhinosinusitis in order to optimise treatment effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE To be investigated whether Th17/Treg cells regulated by Interleukin-6 in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. METHODS The distributions of Th17 and Treg cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and tissues got from 46 CRSwNP patients and 14 controls were evaluated. Th17 and Treg cells and cells-related cytokines in serum were assessed in means of cytometric bead array (CBA) multiplex assays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Spleen cells were isolated from spleen of 20 normal BALB/c mice (male), isolated and purified with CD4 antibody immunomagnetic bead kit. CD4+ cells were divided into three groups, including TGF-β1, TGF-β1+ IL-6 and control (PBS). Treg and Th17 cells and cells related cytokines were detected by flow cytometry (FCM) after collecting spleen cells. The level of IL-10 and IL-17 in supernatant was measured by ELISA. RESULTS Th17/Treg ratio and the level of IL-6 in both ECRSwNP (P < 0.05) and non-ECRSwNP (P < 0.05) were significantly increased when compared with control group, these were consistent with the previous findings. Experiments in vitro suggested that the level of Th17 cells in IL-6+ TGF-β1 group was significantly increased than TGF-β1 group and control group (P < 0.05). The ratio of cells expressed RoRγt in IL-6+ TGF-β1 group was much higher than TGF-β1 group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION IL-6 might regulate the function of Th17 and Treg cells and the Th17/Treg ratio and have a role in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP.

Abstract
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a global health concern with high heterogeneity and rate of postoperative recidivation. YKL-40 is a pivotal pro-inflammatory mediator to promote Th2 immune response which is involved in many inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of serum YKL-40 in CRSwNP endotypes and postoperative recurrence. Methods We recruited 80 primary CRSwNP, 40 recurrent CRSwNP patients and 40 healthy controls (HCs) in this study, and the serum and tissue specimens were collected. The middle turbinate mucosa tissue collected from patients undergoing septoplasty was used as control. Serum YKL-40 concentrations were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and tissue YKL-40 mRNA and protein levels were examined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The difference of YKL-40 expression was compared among different group. Multivariate analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were performed to evaluate the value of serum YKL-40 in discriminating eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) and predicting postoperative recurrence. Results The serum YKL-40 levels in CRSwNP patients were higher than HCs, especially in eCRSwNP patients (p < 0.05). The elevated YKL-40 levels positively correlated with blood eosinophil percentage, tissue eosinophil counts and percentages (p < 0.05). The serum YKL-40 levels in recurrent CRSwNP patients were markedly enhanced than primary CRSwNP patients (p < 0.05). The YKL-40 mRNA and protein levels were significantly elevated in CRSwNP patients compared to HCs, especially in eCRSwNP and recurrent CRSwNP group. Multivariate analysis and ROC curve exhibited that serum YKL-40 might be a promising indicator in distinguishing CRSwNP endotypes and predicting postoperative recurrence. Conclusion Our data suggested that YKL-40 might be unregulated in CRSwNP and associated with mucosal eosinophilia and recurrence. Serum YKL-40 appeared to a novel biomarker for predicting CRSwNP endotypes and postoperative recurrence of CRSwNP.

Abstract
Patients with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) often suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps, a form of primary diffuse Type 2 CRS. Although this disease is also seen in NSAID-tolerant patients, CRS in N-ERD often is more severe and more treatment resistant; local nasal therapy (nasal corticosteroids) and endoscopic sinus surgery are employed like in NSAID-tolerant patients, but with limited and/or short-lived effects. This mini-review gives an overview of the current additional treatment options for CRS in N-ERD. As such diets, aspirin therapy after desensitization, antileukotriene therapy and biologicals are discussed based on the current body of literature. Selecting the right treatment strategy depends on shared-decision making, local availability and cooperation between ENT-surgeons, allergists, and pulmonologists.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a phenotypic designation of the broader condition of chronic rhinosinusitis. The advent of targeted biologics has shown promise in targeting different aspects of the inflammatory pathway, yet there remains a lack of consensus on the correct timing and use of these medications. This review seeks to provide a concise update of the available literature on the pathophysiology of CRSwNP, the evolution and cost utility of biologics as it pertains to management of patients with CRSwNP, and evidence for each available biologic and its use in CRSwNP. Recent Findings There are two biologics with FDA approval for use in CRSwNP: dupilumab and omalizumab. Recent clinical trials of other biologic therapies targeting type 2 inflammatory pathways have also demonstrated efficacy both in symptom scores and nasal polyp reduction. However, studies have questioned the cost utility of these medications compared to other interventions. Furthermore, timing of use with respect to other interventions including surgery remains challenging.

Abstract
Objectives The aim was to compare the control of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), in patients with/without nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD). Study Desing: A retrospective hospital-based sample of CRSwNP patients with/without NERD with follow-up. Setting Tertiary rhinology centers. Methods Electronic patient record data from 116 CRSwNP patients (46 with NERD and 70 without NERD) undergoing ESS during 2001–17 were studied. Mean follow-up time was 9.9 years (range 1.1–15.3). Endpoints reflecting uncontrolled CRSwNP were revision ESS, and need for rescue/advanced therapy (e.g. antibiotics, oral corticosteroids and/or biological therapy) during follow-up. NERD was variable of interest and gender, age, asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), smoking, Lund-Mackay (LM) score of sinus computed tomography scans previous ESS and baseline total ethmoidectomy were used as covariates. Results Twenty-one (49.7%) NERD patients and 18 (25.7%) non-NERD patients underwent revision ESS within a mean ± SD of 4.3 ± 2.8 and 3.7 ± 2.6 years, respectively (p = .013, by Logrank test). In Cox´s regression models, NERD, female gender, young age, asthma, AR, previous ESS, and lack of total ethmoidectomy were associated with revision-ESS. In adjusted model, only the total ethmoidectomy predicted revision-free survival. In adjusted logistic regression model, there was an insignificant trend that NERD and LM score were associated with the need for rescue/advanced therapy in the follow-up. Conclusions Patients with NERD had higher risk of uncontrolled CRSwNP than patient group without NERD, as measured by revision ESS and/or need for rescue/advanced therapy in the follow-up. In addition, baseline total ethmoidectomy was associated with revision-free survival.

Abstract
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) afflicts 2-4% of the population and comes with a long time burden of disease and high societal costs. The current treatment consists of medical treatment alone or in combination with endoscopic sinus surgery. No consensus exists on the right timing and extent of disease that warrants surgery. Furthermore, there is lack of clinical knowledge about the benefit of surgery over medication only. The current study evaluates the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery in addition to medical treatment versus medication alone in the adult patient group with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Methods: The PolypESS trial is designed as a prospective, randomised, multicentre trial in adult patients with CRSwNP selected for primary or revision endoscopic sinus surgery by their otorhinolaryngologist. Patients are randomly assigned to endoscopic sinus surgery in addition to medication or medical therapy only. This paper details the statistical analysis plan (SAP) of this trial and was submitted before outcome data were available. Results: The primary outcome of the trial is disease-specific Health-Related Quality of Life quantified by the SNOT-22 at 12-months follow-up. Secondary outcomes consist of generic and disease-specific Health-Related Quality of Life, objective signs of disease and adverse events of treatment. Subgroup analyses will be performed to verify if treatment effects differ among patient phenotypes. Analyses will be completed according to this pre-specified SAP. The main analysis will be performed as a standard ITT analysis. Discussion: The PolypESS trial will show whether addition of endoscopic sinus surgery to medical treatment improves the disease-specific Health-Related Quality of Life quantified by the SNOT-22 at 12-months follow-up. Unforeseen deviations from the SAP at the time of analysis will be motivated and discussed in the final publication of the primary outcome of this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with asthma (CRS-A) has a significant impact on patient morbidity and quality of life. Nevertheless, little is known about the natural history of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in this cohort. The objective of this study was to evaluate revision rates of ESS in CRS-A and identify risk factors associated with increased likelihood for revision surgery compared to those with CRS without asthma (CRS-alone). METHODS The Utah Population Database was queried for patients age >18 years with CRS who underwent at least 1 ESS between 1996 and 2018. Demographic information and history of ESS were collected and compared between CRS-A and CRS-alone using chi-square tests for categorical variables and t tests for continuous variables. Risk factors for revision surgery were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS A total of 33,090 patients (7693 CRS-A and 25,397 CRS-alone) were included in the final analysis. Mean follow up was 9.8 years in CRS-A and 9.1 years in CRS-alone (p < 0.001). The revision rate among patients with CRS-A (21.5%) was twice that of CRS-alone (10.8%) (p < 0.001). Among patients with CRS, a history of allergy (p < 0.001), asthma (p < 0.001), and nasal polyposis (p < 0.001) was independently associated with increased risk of revision ESS. Patients with CRS-A and nasal polyposis were 6 times more likely to require revision surgery than those with CRS-alone (p < 0.010). CONCLUSION The rate of revision ESS in CRS-A was twice that of CRS-alone; patients with CRS-A and nasal polyposis were 6 times more likely to require revision than those with CRS-alone. ©2021 ARSAAOA, LLC.
