Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased blood eosinophil count (BEC) is common in patients under dupilumab treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This study investigated the prevalence and consequences of hypereosinophilia and to help define patients at risk. METHODS Real-life, prospective observational cohort study of patients treated with dupilumab for severe CRSwNP. Eligible patients were adult and biological-naive (N=334). All BEC values at baseline and during treatment were reported. Patients with a follow-up of >= 1 year were included to define patients at risk for hypereosinophilia by comparing baseline BEC values (N=218). Furthermore, clinical characteristics and therapeutic consequences for patients with BEC >= 3.0 were noted. RESULTS Hypereosinophilia developed in a minority of patients, with a peak at week 12 (16.2% with BEC >= 1.5, and 1.7% >= 3.0) in cross-sectional analysis. BEC >= 1.5 developed in 28.9% and BEC >=3.0 in 4.6% of cases with a minimal 1-year follow-up. Baseline BEC was significantly higher for patients developing BEC >= 1.5 and BEC >=3.0, with an optimal cut-off point of 0.96 to predict developing BEC >= 3.0. CONCLUSIONS Blood eosinophil count (BEC) >= 1.5 is transient and usually abates with no therapeutic interventions and BEC >= 3.0 is rare. Hypereosinophilic syndrome did not occur and switching to a different biological was rarely employed. A baseline BEC of >=1.0 can be a reason for extra caution.

Abstract
In this edition of Rhinology we feature the work of Connell and colleagues from Australia on chronic rhinosinusitis that describes an interesting new pipeline to characterize the bacterial composition of microbiota. We are constantly exposed to a multitude of micro-organisms in the environment and our immune system has the important task discerning and fighting off potential threats. In most people the immune system is doing its job properly and prevents anything untoward from happening. On occasion, a microbe slips by the first (innate) level of defense and we might suffer from an infection. This then activates the second layer of (the adaptive) defense tasked to clear this infection. Sometimes the immune system gets its wrong and starts a full-out defense against something harmless, and an allergy is born. The task of the immune system of doing what is right is even more difficult than it might seem at first sight. In addition to these incidental potential threats, our mucosal surfaces are lined with commensal bacteria which contributes to the complexity of our environment. This collection of bacteria or microbiome has become a major focus of research, as the composition of this microbiome seems related to the health state of the individual. Originally the relationship between the gut microbiome and the development of asthma and allergy was the main focus. In recent years, the focus has been broadened to include the microbiome of the upper and lower airways. In addition to allergy, our field has also been given more and more attention to studying the microbiome in chronic rhinosinusitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea has different aetiologies, with spontaneous leaks related to female gender and obesity. Limited data is available on patient characteristics and surgical outcomes across different aetiologies of CSF leaks in relatively non-obese populations. METHODS Retrospective cohort study from two tertiary referral centres including adult patients that underwent surgical closure of a CSF leak, divided into four aetiologies: traumatic, iatrogenic, secondary to structural intracranial pathology (SIP), and spontaneous. Data included patient characteristics, presenting symptoms, preoperative radiologic findings, intracranial pressure (ICP) and surgical outcomes. RESULTS 72 patients were included: 9 traumatic, 15 iatrogenic, 4 SIP and 44 spontaneous leaks. Primary surgical success was 79%, rising to 93% with reinterventions. Spontaneous leak cases displayed highest female proportion and BMI. A meningo(-encephalo)cele was present in 33 patients and was associated with surgical failure and previous meningitis. No significant differences were observed between different aetiologies regarding patient characteristics, presenting symptoms, or surgical success rates. CONCLUSIONS Even in a relatively non-obese population, the majority of CSF leaks is spontaneous and associated with female gender and obesity. Otherwise, no differences exist across aetiologies regarding patient characteristics, presenting symptoms or surgical success.

Abstract
Asthma, which affects some 300 million people worldwide and caused 455,000 deaths in 2019, is a significant burden to suffers and to society. It is the most common chronic disease in children and represents one of the major causes for years lived with disability. Significant efforts are made by organizations such as WHO in improving the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of asthma. However asthma prevention has been less studied. Currently there is a concept of pre- diabetes which allows a reduction in full blown diabetes if diet and exercise are undertaken. Similar predictive states are found in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. In this paper we explore the possibilities for asthma prevention, both at population level and also investigate the possibility of defining a state of pre-asthma, in which intensive treatment could reduce progression to asthma. Since asthma is a heterogeneous condition, this paper is concerned with allergic asthma. A subsequent one will deal with late onset eosinophilic asthma.

Abstract
Severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), a form of diffuse bilateral (usually type 2) CRS, is a debilitating disease with a significant impact on quality of life (QoL). With novel knowledge and treatment options becoming available, there is a growing need to update or revise key definitions to enable communication across different specialties dealing with CRS, and to agree on novel goals of care in CRSwNP. The European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway diseases (EUFOREA) and EPOS expert members discussed how to measure treatment responses and set new treatment goals for CRSwNP. In this paper a consensus on a list of definitions related to CRSwNP is provided: control, remission, cure, recurrence/exacerbation, treatable traits, remodeling, progression, and disease modification. By providing these definitions, the involved experts hope to improve communication between all stakeholders involved in CRSwNP treatment for use in routine care, basic and clinical research and international guidelines aimed to harmonize and optimize standard of care of patients with CRSwNP in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) disease control is a global metric of disease status for CRS. While there is broad acceptance that it is an important treatment goal, there has been inconsistency in the criteria used to define CRS control. The objective of this study was to identify and develop consensus around essential criteria for assessment of CRS disease control. METHODS Modified Delphi methodology consisting of three rounds to review a list of 24 possible CRS control criteria developed by a 12-person steering committee. The core authorship of the multidisciplinary EPOS 2020 guidelines was invited to participate. RESULTS Thirty-two individuals accepted the invitation to participate and there was no dropout of participants throughout the entire study (3 rounds). Consensus essential criteria for assessment of CRS control were: overall symptom severity, need for CRS-related systemic corticosteroids in the prior 6 months, severity of nasal obstruction, and patient-reported CRS control. Near-consensus items were: nasal endoscopy findings, severity of smell loss, overall quality of life, impairment of normal activities and severity of nasal discharge. Participants’ comments provided insights into caveats of, and disagreements related to, near-consensus items. CONCLUSIONS Overall symptom severity, use of CRS-related systemic corticosteroids, severity of nasal obstruction, and patient-reported CRS control are widely agreed upon essential criteria for assessment of CRS disease control. Consideration of near-consensus items to assess CRS control should be implemented with their intrinsic caveats in mind. These identified consensus CRS control criteria, together with evidence-based support, will provide a foundation upon which CRS control criteria with wide-spread acceptance can be developed.

Abstract
In March 2023, the European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airways diseases (EUFOREA) organized its bi-annual Summit in Brussels with expert panel members of EUFOREA, representatives of the EUFOREA patient advisory board, and the EUFOREA board and management teams. Its aim was to define the research, educational and advocacy initiatives to be developed by EUFOREA over the next 2 years until the 10th anniversary in 2025. EUFOREA is an international non-for-profit organization forming an alliance of all stakeholders dedicated to reducing the prevalence and burden of chronic allergic and respiratory diseases via research, education, and advocacy. Based on its medical scientific core competency, EUFOREA offers an evidence-supported platform to introduce innovation and education in healthcare leading to optimal patient care, bridging the gap between latest scientific evidence and daily practice. Aligned with the mission of improving health care, the expert panels of asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) & European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS), allergen immunotherapy (AIT) and paediatrics have proposed and elaborated a variety of activities that correspond to major unmet needs in the allergy and respiratory field. The current report provides a concise overview of the achievements, ambitions, and action plan of EUFOREA for the future, allowing all stakeholders in the allergy and respiratory field to be up-dated and inspired to join forces in Europe and beyond.

Abstract
Severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a debilitating disease with a significant impact on the quality of life (QoL). It is typically characterized by a type 2 inflammatory reaction and by comorbidities such as asthma, allergies and NSAID-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (N-ERD). Here, the European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway diseases discusses practical guidelines for patients on biologic treatment. Criteria for the selection of patients who would benefit from biologics were updated. Guidelines are proposed concerning the monitoring of the drug effects that provide recognition of responders to the therapy and, subsequently, the decision about continuation, switching or discontinuation of a biologic. Furthermore, gaps in the current knowledge and unmet needs were discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), aim of treatment is control of disease. EPOS2020 suggests the use of visual analogue scale (VAS) measurements on several symptoms. We aim to determine if individual VAS items can be replaced by widely used SinoNasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) items when determining control of disease, to avoid using double measurements and to stimulate its use in clinical practice. METHODS Analyses were made on correlations between individual SNOT-22 scores and symptom-specific questions from consecutive patients with CRS visiting our tertiary referral rhinologic clinic for the first time. RESULTS 157 CRS patients were included. Correlations of individual items were strong (r greater than 0.8). Best parity in sensitivity, specificity, positive predicting value, negative predicting value, odds ratio and Receiver Operating Characteristic curves were found in individual item score of VAS greater than 5 and SNOT item-score. This cut off is valid for measuring control of disease, combining several nasal, facial pain and sleep symptoms (controlled, partially controlled and uncontrolled). CONCLUSION There is strong correlation between individual items measured as SNOT or VAS. For the definition of CRS disease control, as proposed in EPOS2020, the use of symptoms specific SNOT 23 is predictive of VAS greater than 5.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is known to affect around 5 % of the total population, with major impact on the quality of life of those severely affected (1). Despite a substantial burden on individuals, society and health economies, CRS often remains underdiagnosed, under-estimated and under-treated (2). International guidelines like the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) (3) and the International Consensus statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis 2021 (ICAR) (4) offer physicians insight into the recommended treatment options for CRS, with an overview of effective strategies and guidance of diagnosis and care throughout the disease journey of CRS.

Abstract
Background: The 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) is a widely used questionnaire to measure disease-specific health-related quality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The Dutch version has not been validated yet. Methods: The SNOT-22 was translated through a forward-backward translation technique and validated by a test-retest protocol in CRS patients, a responsiveness analysis in CRS patients treated with dupilumab, while using healthy individuals as controls. Results: The Dutch SNOT-22 showed excellent test-retest properties, good responsiveness to treatment with dupilumab, and a clear distinction between outcomes of CRS patients and healthy controls. Conclusion: The Dutch version of the SNOT-22 is a valid outcome measure in CRS patients.

Abstract
Endoscopic grading of nasal polyps (NP) is typically a coprimary endpoint in clinical trials evaluating treatments for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, a consensus on the most effective way to grade nasal polyps has not been reached. Different scales have been used, hampering the interpretation of data across trials. This review compares the characteristics of NP grading systems used in registration trials for approved NP treatments. These fundamental differences in grading systems make quantitative comparison of outcomes between trials inaccurate and potentially misleading. In lieu of a universal grading system, reporting the baseline distribution of polyp grades (unilateral and/or summed/total grades), as well as changes from baseline over time by baseline grade may help improve interpretability of outcomes and reduce inaccuracy when attempting cross-trial comparisons and making therapeutic decisions.

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
Rhinology is an interesting medical specialty to work in. Patients generally have a limited number of complaints, but their conditions vary widely. This makes a good rhinologist somewhat like a good detective. Trouble with nasal breathing, trouble with smell, trouble with rhinorrhoea, feeling facial fullness, creation of crusts, and epistaxis are the witnesses testifying to a large variety of patterns and diagnoses.

Abstract
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nose and paranasal sinuses characterized by intense inflammation, decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and in severe cases high frequency of co-morbidities and recurrence despite treatment. Conservative treatment consists of nasal lavage, intranasal corticosteroids, and courses of oral corticosteroids, and antibiotics in exacerbations. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and/or biological therapy is considered if appropriate conservative treatment is not sufficient. The optimal extent of ESS in recalcitrant CRSwNP is not known. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of limited ESS with partial ethmoidectomy with extended ESS with total ethmoidectomy in patients with severe CRSwNP. Methods: AirGOs Operative is a randomized controlled trial. It is an investigator-driven multicenter trial led by Helsinki University Hospital. The two surgery arms are compared. The primary outcome is the change in the SNOT-22 score at the 12-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes include the change in the SNOT-22 score at 24-months follow-up, the changes in polyp score, Lund-Mackay (LM) CT score, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), loss of productivity, nasal patency (peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) ± acoustic rhinometry (ARM), olfaction test (Sniffin’ Sticks, identification), lung function (spirometry and PEF) and findings in pathological analysis at 12/24-months follow-up. Discussion: AirGOs Operative trial will lead to a better understanding of the optimal extent of ethmoidectomy in the treatment of recalcitrant severe CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a frequent condition that is treated by endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) when medical treatment fails. Irritating or sensitizing airborne agents can contribute to uncontrolled CRS. A prior study showed a linear correlation between occupational exposure and the number of ESS. METHODS In this cross-sectional study we tested the hypothesis that occupational exposure is a risk for undergoing ESS. We sent questionnaires enquiring occupational exposure in patients with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) or CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). An expert assessed blindly the reported work exposures to inhaled agents. The relationship between occupational exposure on undergoing ESS was analysed. RESULTS Among all patients who underwent ESS (n=343), 30% reported a relevant occupational exposure, which is significantly higher than the 4.8% found among CRS patients that underwent no prior sinus surgery (n=21). Besides occupational exposure, self-reported doctor-diagnosed asthma were independent variables contributing to the chance of undergoing ESS. CONCLUSION In our study we confirm occupational exposure as a risk factor for uncontrolled CRS, if defined by undergoing ESS. In CRS patients with uncontrolled symptoms, despite maximal conservative therapy, the clinician should explore the possible contribution of occupational exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinitis (CR) is currently defined as the presence of at least two nasal symptoms for at least 1 hour per day for more than 12 weeks per year. Such definition lacks evidence-based foundation. CR patients are often divided into "runners" and "blockers", although the evidence supporting such subdivision is limited. The aim of the study was to define CR, to estimate its prevalence and the proportion of "runners" and "blockers". METHODS Cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study in a random sample of participants representing the general population of the Netherlands. RESULTS The questionnaire was sent to 5000 residents of the Netherlands; the response rate was 27%. CR was defined as at least 1 nasal complaint present for more than 3 weeks per year. The prevalence of CR in the general population was 40%. Participants who would have been excluded by the former CR definition were shown to have a significantly higher VAS compared to the controls. The larger part of CR group was represented by non-allergic rhinitis (NAR): 70% vs 30%. There were 25% "Blockers" and 22% "Runners" in the CR group, whereas more than a half of the CR group could be classified in neither of these subgroups. CONCLUSION Based on our data, we suggest that the current definition of CR should be revised and propose a new definition: at least one nasal complaint present for at least 3 weeks per year; although future studies are needed to further validate the proposed definition.

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 A debate is ongoing on the role of the extent of sinus surgery in disease control in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The newly developed Amsterdam Classification on Completeness of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ACCESS) score provides a way to quantify extent of surgery. This study aimed to validate the ACCESS scoring system and to report its interrater agreement compa- red to the widely used Lund-Mackay (LM) scoring system. METHODOLOGY Forty hand-picked anonymized computed tomography scans of sinuses of patients with varying pathology and degree of previous sinus surgery were independently scored by six rhinologists. Interrater agreement was determined by the intraclass correlation (ICC) statistic. RESULTS The interrater agreement of the ACCESS score was excellent, comparable to the LM score. The ACCESS interrater agree- ment was not influenced by degree of opacification or diagnosis. The ACCESS score reliably measured predicted differences induced by sinus surgery. CONCLUSIONS the ACCESS score is an easy-to-use valid tool to assess extent of sinus surgery with an excellent interrater agree- ment. Further validation in a random group of CRS cases is required.

Abstract
Background The analysis of mobile health (mHealth) data has generated innovative insights into improving allergic rhinitis control, but additive information is needed. A cross-sectional real-world observational study was undertaken in 17 European countries during and outside the estimated pollen season. The aim was to collect novel information including the phenotypic characteristics of the users. Methods The Allergy Diary–MASK-air–mobile phone app, freely available via Google Play and App, was used to collect the data of daily visual analogue scales (VASs) for overall allergic symptoms and medication use. Fluticasone Furoate (FF), Mometasone Furoate (MF), Azelastine Fluticasone Proprionate combination (MPAzeFlu) and eight oral H1-antihistamines were studied. Phenotypic characteristics were recorded at entry. The ARIA severity score was derived from entry data. This was an a priori planned analysis. Results 9037 users filled in 70,286 days of VAS in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The ARIA severity score was lower outside than during the pollen season. Severity was similar for all treatment groups during the pollen season, and lower in the MPAzeFlu group outside the pollen season. Days with MPAzeFlu had lower VAS levels and a higher frequency of monotherapy than the other treatments during the season. Outside the season, days with MPAzeFlu also had a higher frequency of monotherapy. The number of reported days was significantly higher with MPAzeFlu during and outside the season than with MF, FF or oral H1-antihistamines. Conclusions This study shows that the overall efficacy of treatments is similar during and outside the pollen season and indicates that medications are similarly effective during the year.

Abstract
BACKGROUND European direct and indirect cost data is missing for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This study was aimed to establish the economic burden of CRSwNP based on a Dutch cohort of patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed in adult patients with CRSwNP (N=115) to calculate mean annual direct medical costs and indirect costs per patient with CRSwNP. Outpatient visits, general practitioner visits, first aid visits, hospitalisation and patient travel expenses were measured with the iMTA medical consumption questionnaire. Missed workdays (absenteeism) and decreased productivity during paid work (presenteeism) or during daily life were measured with the and the iMTA productivity cost questionnaire. RESULTS Total direct costs were €1501 per patient/year, primarily due to outpatient department visits and hospitalisation. Indirect costs were €5659 per patient/year, with productivity losses as major cost expense. CONCLUSION Adult patients with CRSwNP have higher indirect costs than direct costs and this forms a substantial burden to society. Total annual costs of patients with CRSwNP are estimated to be 1,9 billion/year in the Netherlands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In allergic rhinitis, a relevant outcome providing information on the effectiveness of interventions is needed. In MASK-air (Mobile Airways Sentinel Network), a visual analogue scale (VAS) for work is used as a relevant outcome. This study aimed to assess the performance of the work VAS work by comparing VAS work with other VAS measurements and symptom-medication scores obtained concurrently. METHODS All consecutive MASK-air users in 23 countries from 1 June 2016 to 31 October 2018 were included (14 189 users; 205 904 days). Geolocalized users self-assessed daily symptom control using the touchscreen functionality on their smart phone to click on VAS scores (ranging from 0 to 100) for overall symptoms (global), nose, eyes, asthma and work. Two symptom-medication scores were used: the modified EAACI CSMS score and the MASK control score for rhinitis. To assess data quality, the intra-individual response variability (IRV) index was calculated. RESULTS A strong correlation was observed between VAS work and other VAS. The highest levels for correlation with VAS work and variance explained in VAS work were found with VAS global, followed by VAS nose, eye and asthma. In comparison with VAS global, the mCSMS and MASK control score showed a lower correlation with VAS work. Results are unlikely to be explained by a low quality of data arising from repeated VAS measures. CONCLUSIONS VAS work correlates with other outcomes (VAS global, nose, eye and asthma) but less well with a symptom-medication score. VAS work should be considered as a potentially useful AR outcome in intervention studies.

Abstract
The European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020 is the update of similar evidence based position papers published in 2005 and 2007 and 2012(1-3). The core objective of the EPOS2020 guideline is to provide revised, up-to-date and clear evidence-based recommendations and integrated care pathways in ARS and CRS. EPOS2020 provides an update on the literature published and studies undertaken in the eight years since the EPOS2012 position paper was published and addresses areas not extensively covered in EPOS2012 such as paediatric CRS and sinus surgery. EPOS2020 also involves new stakeholders, including pharmacists and patients, and addresses new target users who have become more involved in the management and treatment of rhinosinusitis since the publication of the last EPOS document, including pharmacists, nurses, specialised care givers and indeed patients themselves, who employ increasing self-management of their condition using over the counter treatments. The document provides suggestions for future research in this area and offers updated guidance for definitions and outcome measurements in research in different settings.

Abstract
The European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020 is the update of similar evidence based position papers published in 2005 and 2007 and 2012. The core objective of the EPOS2020 guideline is to provide revised, up-to-date and clear evidence-based recommendations and integrated care pathways in ARS and CRS. EPOS2020 provides an update on the literature published and studies undertaken in the eight years since the EPOS2012 position paper was published and addresses areas not extensively covered in EPOS2012 such as paediatric CRS and sinus surgery. EPOS2020 also involves new stakeholders, including pharmacists and patients, and addresses new target users who have become more involved in the management and treatment of rhinosinusitis since the publication of the last EPOS document, including pharmacists, nurses, specialised care givers and indeed patients themselves, who employ increasing self-management of their condition using over the counter treatments. The document provides suggestions for future research in this area and offers updated guidance for definitions and outcome measurements in research in different settings. EPOS2020 contains chapters on definitions and classification where we have defined a large number of terms and indicated preferred terms. A new classification of CRS into primary and secondary CRS and further division into localized and diffuse disease, based on anatomic distribution is proposed. There are extensive chapters on epidemiology and predisposing factors, inflammatory mechanisms, (differential) diagnosis of facial pain, allergic rhinitis, genetics, cystic fibrosis, aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease, immunodeficiencies, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and the relationship between upper and lower airways. The chapters on paediatric acute and chronic rhinosinusitis are totally rewritten. All available evidence for the management of acute rhinosinusitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps in adults and children is systematically reviewed and integrated care pathways based on the evidence are proposed. Despite considerable increases in the amount of quality publications in recent years, a large number of practical clinical questions remain. It was agreed that the best way to address these was to conduct a Delphi exercise . The results have been integrated into the respective sections. Last but not least, advice for patients and pharmacists and a new list of research needs are included.

Abstract
Aims Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK (MASK) belongs to the Fondation Partenariale MACVIA-LR of Montpellier, France and aims to provide an active and healthy life to rhinitis sufferers and to those with asthma multimorbidity across the life cycle, whatever their gender or socio-economic status, in order to reduce health and social inequities incurred by the disease and to improve the digital transformation of health and care. The ultimate goal is to change the management strategy in chronic diseases. Methods MASK implements ICT technologies for individualized and predictive medicine to develop novel care pathways by a multi-disciplinary group centred around the patients. Stakeholders Include patients, health care professionals (pharmacists and physicians), authorities, patient’s associations, private and public sectors. Results MASK is deployed in 23 countries and 17 languages. 26,000 users have registered. EU grants (2018) MASK is participating in EU projects (POLLAR: impact of air POLLution in Asthma and Rhinitis, EIT Health, DigitalHealthEurope, Euriphi and Vigour). Lessons learnt (i) Adherence to treatment is the major problem of allergic disease, (ii) Self-management strategies should be considerably expanded (behavioural), (iii) Change management is essential in allergic diseases, (iv) Education strategies should be reconsidered using a patient-centred approach and (v) Lessons learnt for allergic diseases can be expanded to chronic diseases.

Abstract
mHealth, such as apps running on consumer smart devices is becoming increasingly popular and has the potential to profoundly affect healthcare and health outcomes. However, it may be disruptive and results achieved are not always reaching the goals. Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) has evolved from a guideline using the best evidence-based approach to care pathways suited to real-life using mobile technology in allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma multimorbidity. Patients largely use over-the-counter medications dispensed in pharmacies. Shared decision making centered around the patient and based on self-management should be the norm. Mobile Airways Sentinel networK (MASK), the Phase 3 ARIA initiative, is based on the freely available MASK app (the Allergy Diary, Android and iOS platforms). MASK is available in 16 languages and deployed in 23 countries. The present paper provides an overview of the methods used in MASK and the key results obtained to date. These include a novel phenotypic characterization of the patients, confirmation of the impact of allergic rhinitis on work productivity and treatment patterns in real life. Most patients appear to self-medicate, are often non-adherent and do not follow guidelines. Moreover, the Allergy Diary is able to distinguish between AR medications. The potential usefulness of MASK will be further explored by POLLAR (Impact of Air Pollution on Asthma and Rhinitis), a new Horizon 2020 project using the Allergy Diary.

Abstract
Background Collecting data on the localization of users is a key issue for the MASK (Mobile Airways Sentinel networK: the Allergy Diary) App. Data anonymization is a method of sanitization for privacy. The European Commission's Article 29 Working Party stated that geolocation information is personal data.To assess geolocation using the MASK method and to compare two anonymization methods in the MASK database to find an optimal privacy method. Methods Geolocation was studied for all people who used the Allergy Diary App from December 2015 to November 2017 and who reported medical outcomes. Two different anonymization methods have been evaluated: Noise addition (randomization) and k-anonymity (generalization). Results Ninety-three thousand one hundred and sixteen days of VAS were collected from 8535 users and 54,500 (58.5%) were geolocalized, corresponding to 5428 users. Noise addition was found to be less accurate than k-anonymity using MASK data to protect the users' life privacy. Discussion k-anonymity is an acceptable method for the anonymization of MASK data and results can be used for other databases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherothrombosis is a major cause of cardiovascular events. However, animal models to study this process are scarce. OBJECTIVES We describe the first murine model of acute thrombus formation upon plaque rupture to study atherothrombosis by intravital fluorescence microscopy. METHODS Localized rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque in a carotid artery from Apoe(-/-) mice was induced in vivo using ultrasound. Rupture of the plaque and formation of localized thrombi were verified by two-photon laser scanning microscopy (TPLSM) in isolated arteries, and by immunohistochemistry. The thrombotic reaction was quantified by intravital fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS Inspection of the ultrasound-treated plaques by histochemistry and TPLSM demonstrated local damage, collagen exposure, luminal thrombus formation as well as intra-plaque intrusion of erythrocytes and fibrin. Ultrasound treatment of healthy carotid arteries resulted in endothelial damage and limited platelet adhesion. Real-time intravital fluorescence microscopy demonstrated rapid platelet deposition on plaques and formation of a single thrombus that remained subocclusive. The thrombotic process was antagonized by thrombin inhibition, or by blocking of collagen or adenosine diphosphate receptor pathways. Multiple thrombi were formed in 70% of mice lacking CD40L. CONCLUSIONS Targeted rupture of murine plaques results in collagen exposure and non-occlusive thrombus formation. The thrombotic process relies on platelet activation as well as on thrombin generation and coagulation, and is sensitive to established and novel antithrombotic medication. This model provides new possibilities to study atherothrombosis in vivo.

Abstract
Understanding vascular pathologies requires insight in the structure and function, and, hence, an imaging technique combining subcellular resolution, large penetration depth, and optical sectioning. We evaluated the applicability of two-photon laser-scanning microscopy (TPLSM) in large elastic and small muscular arteries under physiological conditions. Elastic (carotid) and muscular (uterine, mesenteric) arteries of C57BL/6 mice were mounted in a perfusion chamber. TPLSM was used to assess the viability of arteries and to visualize the structural components elastin, collagen, nuclei, and endothelial glycocalyx (EG). Functionality was determined using diameter changes in response to noradrenaline and acetylcholine. Viability and functionality were maintained up to 4 h, enabling the assessment of structure-function relationships. Structural vessel wall components differed between elastic and muscular arteries: size (1.3 vs. 2.1 microm) and density (0.045 vs. 0.57 microm(-2)) of internal elastic lamina fenestrae, smooth muscle cell density (3.50 vs. 1.53 microm(-3)), number of elastic laminae (3 vs. 2), and adventitial collagen structure (tortuous vs. straight). EG in elastic arteries was 4.5 microm thick, covering 66% of the endothelial surface. TPLSM enables visualization and quantification of subcellular structures in vital and functional elastic and muscular murine arteries, allowing unraveling of structure-function relationships in healthy and diseased arteries.

Abstract
The objective of the following research is to theoretically quantify the enhancement of interphase mass transfer of dissolved non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) compounds from the non-aqueous phase to the aqueous phase and the enhancement of dispersive mass transport from a NAPL zone due to destruction of dissolved NAPL compounds. For relatively slow reaction rates, such as for permanganate and perchloroethene (PCE), local-scale mass transfer enhancement is expected to be small. Dispersive mass transport with reaction from a horizontal NAPL zone can be quantified using equations derived for a mathematically equivalent falling film reactor system. In contrast to local-scale interphase mass transfer, dispersive mass transport from NAPL zones may be significantly increased by reaction. Enhancement factors due to destruction of the NAPL compound(s) are mainly dependent on NAPL solubility and oxidant concentration and to a lesser extent on reaction rate, stoichiometry, and transverse dispersion coefficients. Higher NAPL solubility and/or lower oxidant concentration reduces the maximum expected enhancement factor. Reaction enhancement factors for mass transport from NAPL zones are expected to be in the range of 5-50 for permanganate and chlorinated solvents. Theoretical results suggest that assuming instantaneous reaction rates may be appropriate for dispersive mass transport from NAPL zones.
