International consensus statement on rhinosinusitis

Sinonasal specific QoL was significantly poorer in the textile group ( p = 0.005). The textile group (dust exposure) also demonstrated significantly more nasal polyposis ( p = 0.001), polypoid degeneration of the middle turbinate ( p = 0.001) and LK ( p < 0.001).

inflammation compared to indoor athletes and controls. The authors hypothesized that this may be due to greater exposure among swimmers to hypochlorite, which is present in chlorinated pools. Using invitro experiments, the

Among those exposed to dust from the World Trade Center attack, the relative risk of developing CRS in high risk exposure group was greater than the moderate or low risk exposure group ( p < 0.0001). RS was not defined according

to any accepted diagnostic criteria, limiting interpretation of study results.

Baseline SNOT-22 and VAS (nasal itch and impaired smell) were significantly worse in swimmers compared to controls. Similarly, swimmers demonstrated more nasal

authors demonstrated that hypochlorite decreased nasal epithelial cell integrity.

Occupational exposure (assessed using a questionnaire) was associated with an increased likelihood to require more than one ESS (OR 1.64) or more than 2 ESS (OR 1.97) on logistic regression analysis.

Risk factors for CRS in this large population study on multivariate analysis include: clearance job, occupational exposure to dust, poisonous gas, having a pet or carpet.
