Air pollution, genetic factors, and chronic rhinosinusitis: A prospective study in the UK Biobank. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 940:173526. [PMID: 38825199 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent upper respiratory condition that manifests in two primary subtypes: CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). While previous studies indicate a correlation between air pollution and CRS, the role of genetic predisposition in this relationship remains largely unexplored. We hypothesized that higher air pollution exposure would lead to the development of CRS, and that genetic susceptibility might modify this association. METHODS This cohort study involving 367,298 adult participants from the UK Biobank, followed from March 2006 to October 2021. Air pollution metrics were estimated at residential locations using land-use regression models. Cox proportional hazard models were employed to explore the associations between air pollution exposure and CRS, CRSwNP, and CRSsNP. A polygenic risk score (PRS) was constructed to evaluate the joint effect of air pollution and genetic predisposition on the development of CRS. RESULTS We found that the risk of CRS increased under long-term exposure to PM2.5 [the hazard ratios (HRs) with 95 % CIs: 1.59 (1.26-2.01)], PM10 [1.64 (1.26-2.12)], NO2 [1.11 (1.04-1.17)], and NOx [1.18 (1.12-1.25)], respectively. These effects were more pronounced among participants with CRSwNP, although the differences were not statistically significant. Additionally, we found that the risks for CRS and CRSwNP increased in a graded manner among participants with higher PRS or higher exposure to PM2.5, PM10, or NOx concentrations. However, no multiplicative or additive interactions were observed. CONCLUSIONS Long-term exposure to air pollution increases the risk of CRS, particularly CRSwNP underscoring the need to prioritize clean air initiatives and environmental regulations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal septum deviation (SD) are two widely diffused clinical conditions in otorhinolaryngology clinical practice. Albeit nasal symptoms are the most commonly referred by patients affected by both conditions, recent evidence has explored the impairment of nasal function beyond its local implication. Indeed, the prevalence of psychiatric disorders, specifically anxiety and depression, was found higher in patients suffering from SD or CRS than in the general population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychiatric burden of these conditions in terms of anxiety and depression and to assess its relationship with clinical phenotype and age. METHODS Monocentric cross-sectional observational study. Consecutive patients affected by CRS with or without nasal polyps or by SD were considered eligible. At referral, each patient underwent nasal endoscopy for clinical diagnosis and had to fill in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for global nasal symptoms. The population was grouped according to disease and age. RESULTS One hundred fifty patients were enrolled. We observed a statistically significant difference in mean HADS score between patients affected by CRS with nasal polyps and those suffering from CRS without nasal polyps or SD both in the overall population and by age groups. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in the HADS score between younger patients affected by CRS and SD. The mean HADS score was significantly higher in younger patients affected by SD compared to older. Furthermore, we observed an inverse correlation between age and HADS score in each disease group, statistically significant for SD. On the contrary, in the overall population, HADS score and patient-related outcomes (PROs) were directly correlated. Conclusions: In the era of personalized medicine, our work remarks on the critical impact of anxiety and depression on the quality of life (QoL) of patients affected by sinonasal conditions. According to our results, age affects patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and should, therefore, be enhanced in the therapeutic decision process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a persistent inflammation of the sinuses. As a result of long-term discomfort, patients may experience symptoms of common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression. This may affect the quality of life and disease progression. However, there is still uncertainty about the extent of the problem. OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with CRS. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CBM databases for relevant studies published before 15 July 2022 in patients with CRS with concomitant depression and anxiety symptoms. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two authors independently performed screening and quality assessment using validated tools. Extraction of data using predefined standardised data collection spreadsheets. Heterogeneity and inconsistency were checked using the I² statistic. RESULTS The meta-analysis included 32 articles involving 56 933 patients. The prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms was estimated at 24.7% (95% CI, 21.3% to 28. 1%) and 29.7% (95% CI, 19.3% to 40.2%). Subgroup analysis revealed the following: (1) CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP): 26.2% (95% CI, 21.9% to 30.5%), CRS with nasal polyps(CRSwNP): 20% (95% CI, 15.9% to 24%); (2) Female patients: 36. 1% (95% CI, 25.3% to 46.9%), male patients: 24.3% (95% CI, 12. 1% to 36.6%); and (3) The average age≤50 years patients: 29.8% (95% CI, 21.3% to 38.2%), the average age>50 years patients: 22. 1% (95% CI, 17.1% to 27%). CONCLUSION A significant proportion of people with CRS have symptoms of depression and anxiety, and early screening for depression and anxiety in people with CRS is critical. And, more attention needs to be given to females and patients with CRSsNP during screening. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022345959).

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disease that affects patients' quality of life (QoL). We aim to explore which symptoms bothered the patient most. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of CRS patients 2 years after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). The main observation indicators were SNOT-22 and visual analog scale (VAS) scores. The patients were grouped according to clinical control standard of EPOS 2020. Patients' symptom scores and postoperative medication were used for analysis. RESULTS A total of 276 patients were included, among them, uncontrolled patients accounted for 23.9%, sense of taste/smell, fatigue, lacking of a good night's sleep, reduced concentration and reduced productivity were the most serious symptoms that troubled them. VAS and SNOT-22 scores were significantly different among all groups (P = 0.000), and had clinical significance for the diagnosis of clinical uncontrolled patients (both P < 0.0001). Furthermore, the duration of corticosteroids use and nasal saline irrigation in uncontrolled patients was significantly longer than that in other patients (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION There are significant differences in the QoL of CRS patients with different clinical control, sleep and psychological disorders are main symptoms that affect the QoL of CRS patients, and more targeted management of sleep/psychological issues may be needed especially for uncontrolled patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We performed a meta-analysis and estimated the prevalence of depression and anxiety and their related factors among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and CBM databases. REVIEW METHODS A systematic search was performed for relevant studies published before August 17, 2021. A random effects model was used to estimate the prevalence of depression and anxiety. Subgroup analysis was performed by continent or region, study setting, sex, sample size, diagnosis, and assessment method. RESULTS Twenty-two articles covering 40,956 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled crude prevalence estimates of depression and anxiety were 25.2% (95% CI, 20.9%-29.6%) and 28.9% (95% CI, 16.1%-41.6%), respectively. Subgroup analyses revealed the following: (1) continent or region, study setting, sex, sample size, depression assessment method, and CRS diagnosis were significantly correlated with the prevalence of depression, and (2) continent or region, study setting, sample size, anxiety assessment method, and CRS diagnosis were significantly correlated with the prevalence of anxiety. Meta-regression analysis revealed that study setting and sample size were negatively associated with the pooled prevalence of depression. In contrast, CRS diagnosis and anxiety assessment method were positively associated with the pooled prevalence of anxiety. CONCLUSION Depression and anxiety are common in patients with CRS, especially among clinics. Therefore, in patients with CRS, screening and early diagnosis of depression and anxiety are necessary for prevention and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disease that may require biological therapy. Omalizumab is an anti-IgE biologic that was recently approved by the FDA and Health Canada for use in severe CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) recalcitrant to intranasal corticosteroids. Dosing is based on weight and pre-treatment serum IgE, with elevated levels of the latter being an indication for biologic treatment according to EPOS and EUFOREA guidelines. The goal of this study was to identify variables that predict IgE-high type 2 inflammation and serve as indicators for biologic treatment in CRS. METHODS Patients ≥ 19 yo diagnosed with CRS undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery were included retrospectively. Demographics, past medical history, preoperative blood work, Lund-Mackay (LM), Lund Kennedy (LK), and SNOT-22 scores were extracted. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analyses were conducted. Model superiority was based on Nagelkerke R2 scores and receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS Sixty-five patients, average age 49.96 ± 13.59 years, were included. Sixty-one binary logistic regression models for elevated serum IgE were created. Among the top 3 models, the best model had sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive values of 82.1, 69.2, 80.0, and 72.0. All performance measures except sensitivity exceeded the Canadian Biologics Guideline model. Serum eosinophils ≥ 300 cell/uL, CRSwNP and LM ≥ 17 increased the odds of elevated IgE. CONCLUSIONS IgE-high type-2 inflammation can be predicted by a model that includes eosinophil ≥ 300 cell/uL, CRSwNP, LM ≥ 17, asthma diagnosis and SNOT-22 ≥ 40. Patients meeting these parameters have a high pretest probability for elevated IgE and would benefit from IgE serology to determine qualification for omalizumab. This could reduce unwarranted IgE serology in patients with CRSwNP but also target a patient population for further workup that will lead to optimization of resource allocation and improve healthcare equity in rural and remote areas within Canada.

Abstract
Background: Compared with advances in a drug hypersensitivity diagnosis and management, little is known about the mental health status of patients with drug hypersensitivity and the impact of this psychological distress on their quality of life (QoL). Objective: The objectives were to evaluate anxiety, depression, and QoL levels in patients with drug hypersensitivity, assess how some related factors may affect them, and determine the impact of disease on their QoL. Methods: A total of 203 patients with drug hypersensitivity and 80 healthy controls were evaluated with the Beck Anxiety (BAI) and the Depression Inventory (BDI), and the short version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) scale. Results: The mean ± standard deviation (SD) BAI scores of the patients and the controls were 13.46 ± 11.78 and 1.94 ± 1.93, respectively (p < 0.0001). The mean ± SD BDI scores were higher in the patient group (9.23 ± 6.36) than in the control group (2.18 ± 2.02) (p < 0.0001). The patients had significantly increased risk of anxiety versus the controls (48.8% versus 7.5%) (odds ratio [OR] 11.74 [95% confidence {CI}, 4.88-28.20]; p < 0.0001) and depression versus the controls (31.5% versus 6.2%) (OR 6.90 [95% CI, 2.66-17.90]; p = 0.0001). The comparison of patients' BAI and BDI scores showed that those with more severe reactions had higher scores than those with moderate and mild reactions. A negative correlation was found among all WHOQOL-BREF scale domain scores and the BAI and BDI scores. Conclusion: Anxiety and depressive symptoms have a high prevalence in patients with confirmed drug hypersensitivity, which leads to a notable decrease in QoL. Self-administered psychological questionnaires were shown to be useful in the psychological examination and management of patients with drug hypersensitivity. Therefore, we found that psychological support is critical to reducing the negative outcomes of hypersensitivity reactions in patients.

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
Background Through shared decision-making, physicians and patients can elect endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) when maximal medical therapy fails in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). In this study, we aim to explore the most important themes with regards to patients’ perspectives on ESS. Our objective was to define the patient experience and ensure that we have congruent physician and patient goals for obtaining success. Methods Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 22 patients at a tertiary-care institution in Montreal. Three themes were established a priori: living with CRS, objectives and expectations and criteria for success. This thematic approach allowed the identification, analysis and reporting of patterns found across the data set. A phenomenological methodological orientation was used. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim for continuous analysis. These were coded by hand by a single coder who read the transcripts multiple times and relistened to the recordings. Results Exploration of themes on patients’ perspectives on ESS for CRS yielded multiple anecdotal findings, and some recurring patterns. There is a tendency for patients to focus on one principal symptom that drives their decrease in QoL. Headaches and nasal congestion seemed to impact patients’ QoL the most amongst rhinologic symptoms. Hyposmia was rarely spontaneously by patients but was often a significant source of distress when prompted during interviews. Objectives and expectations seemed to be inversely proportional to number of previous surgeries and severity of symptoms preoperatively. There was a clear association between preoperative expectations and postoperative satisfaction. There was no clear pattern in the improvement magnitude or time improved postoperatively for patients to consider the surgery a success. Conclusions Patients’ level of satisfaction postoperatively and with their care in general is multifactorial. We believe the topic of goals and expectations regarding ESS should be discussed preoperatively for every patient with CRS. This includes patients with seemingly minor disease and patients naive to surgery, as can sometimes have exceedingly high expectations. Preoperative counselling must also include an assessment of what symptom is the most cumbersome to that particular patient, as patients tend to focus a lot on one or two symptoms. Postoperatively, we encourage clinicians to be attentive to the change in each patient’s principal complaints within the context of a personalized approach and to refer back to patients’ preoperative goals in their assessment of operative success.

Abstract
Background Allergic disorders may have a bidirectional causal relationship with mental disorders. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to assess the associations between cognitive abilities and emotional function tests and quality of life with the presence of allergic disease in young women. Methods A diagnosis of allergic disorders, comprising allergic rhinitis (AR), asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD), was confirmed by a specialist in allergy. The presence and severity of depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia and sleepiness were evaluated using validated questionnaires. Cognitive abilities and quality of life were assessed using standard instruments. Results Among 181 female young participants, the prevalence of AR, asthma and AD were 26.5%, 2.8%, and 14.9% respectively. The AR group had higher scores than the non-AR group for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and lower scores for physical and mental health-related quality of life. Moreover, the AD cases had higher scores on the depression and stress scale compared to those without it (p < 0.05). Asthmatic patients also had significantly higher insomnia severity and lower physical health-related quality of life than non-asthmatic.
Conclusion There was a high prevalence of psychological/psychiatric disorders that included: anxiety, and sleep problems among allergic women, and a reduced quality of life that may be associated with it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medical comorbidities are commonly encountered in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and may impact both physical function and patient reported health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL). The functional comorbidity index (FCI) is designed to elucidate the role of comorbidities on functional prognosis. The objective of this study was to understand the impact of comorbidities known to impact physical function on baseline HRQOL using the FCI.Methodology: Patients meeting diagnostic criteria for CRS were prospectively enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Responses from the Sinonasal Outcomes Test-22 (SNOT-22), a measure of patient HRQOL, as well as the Lund-Kennedy and Lund-Mackay scores were recorded at enrollment. FCI was calculated retrospectively using the electronic medical record. Information was collected and compared for patients without (CRSsNP) and with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) using chi-square and t-tests. Spearman's correlations, followed by multivariate regression analysis, were used to assess the association between FCI and SNOT-22 scores. RESULTS One hundred and three patients met inclusion criteria for analysis. There were no significant differences in age, gender, and SNOT-22 scores between patients with CRSsNP and those with CRSwNP. FCI was significantly and independently associated with worse SNOT-22 scores (P = .012). FCI did not correlate with endoscopy and computed tomography scores. The mean FCI for patients with CRSsNP and CRSwNP was 2.02 and 2.24, respectively, and did not differ significantly between the two cohorts (P = .565). CONCLUSIONS Major medical comorbidities known to affect physical function are associated with worse SNOT-22 scores in patients with CRS as measured by the FCI.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia. Diabetic patients are known to have a higher prevalence and a higher risk of depression compared with the general population. The pathogenesis of diabetes-related depression is unclear, and the treatment is not well-established. Therefore, the prevention of diabetes-related depression is important for improving the quality of life of diabetic patients. Minocycline, a second-generation tetracycline antibiotic, has recently gained attention as a new agent for depression. In this study, we investigated the effect of minocycline on diabetes-related depression in a streptozotocin-induced mouse model of diabetes. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were injected with streptozotocin (200 mg/kg, i.p.). Seven days after injection, the mice received minocycline treatment through drinking water. We compared these mice with vehicle-treated control mice and diabetic mice not receiving minocycline treatment. On day 34, depression-like behavior was investigated using the forced swim test. On the following day, brain samples were collected, and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens were prepared for immunohistochemistry. Compared with the control group, the diabetic mice not receiving minocycline treatment showed a prolonged duration of immobility in the forced swim test, the observation being interpreted as a depression-like behavior. Immunohistochemistry revealed an increase in microglia with an activated morphology in the diabetic mice without minocycline treatment. The expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha in microglia was increased. In addition, a decrease in the number of doublecortin-positive immature neurons was found in the hippocampus of diabetic mice. Minocycline treatment of diabetic animals prevented the depression-like behavior and microglial activation; however, minocycline did not reverse impaired hippocampal neurogenesis. These results indicate that minocycline has a preventive effect on diabetes-related depression. Inhibition of microglial activation would be a critical target for the antidepressant mechanism of minocycline. Impaired hippocampal neurogenesis was observed in diabetic mice; however, this may not be involved in the pathogenesis of depression.

Abstract
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has a high prevalence of anxiety and depression. It is currently uncertain if treatment in patients with CRS with or without nasal polyps (CRSwNP and CRSsNP) has any impact on improving mental health outcomes. The aims here were to document anxiety and depression in patients with severe CRS and asthma already treated with appropriate medical therapy. We then evaluated whether further maximal treatment with omalizumab improved anxiety and/or depression alongside improvements in CRS and coassociated asthma. Methods Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores along with measures of CRS and asthma severity were recorded according to CRSwNP and CRSsNP status in n = 95 patients with severe CRS and asthma. Of this group, a further n = 23 had omalizumab for associated allergic asthma. Follow‐up measures were collected 16 weeks after omalizumab treatment. Results HADS anxiety and depression prevalence in CRS were 49.47 % and 38.95%, respectively. Within the CRSwNP and CRSsNP group 53.06% and 45.66% had raised HADS‐anxiety scores. Abnormal HADS‐depression scores were present in 40.82% and 36.95% of the CRSwNP and CRSsNP groups, respectively. Correlations for sinonasal outcome test‐22 (SNOT‐22) versus HADS total was r = 0.59 p < 0.0001, HADS‐anxiety r = 0.56 p < 0.0001 and HADS‐depression r = 0.49 p < 0.0001. Omalizumab improved anxiety in CRS (p < 0.0001) regardless of nasal polyp status (CRSwNP p = 0.0042 and CRSsNP p = 0.0078). Depression scores did not improve in either group. SNOT‐22 (p = 0.0006), asthma control questionnaire‐7 (p = 0.0019) and mini‐asthma quality of life questionnaire including emotional function (p = 0.0003 and p = 0.0009, respectively) all improved in both subgroups. Conclusion In CRS and asthma, anxiety scores but not depression improved after omalizumab treatment. Anxiety may be closely related to airway disease severity, but depression may be independent of airway disease itself. If so, a separate mental health care pathway is needed for CRS patients with depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Psychological comorbidity is common in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and is correlated with decreased overall and disease-specific quality of life (QoL). Prior research reported that anxiety and depression, as measured by the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), are associated with worse CRS-specific QoL, as assessed via the Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI). Furthermore, patients prone to anxiety/depression may display an exaggerated response to real or anticipated discomfort; the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) is a validated instrument designed to measure this phenomenon. This study is intended to explore the role of pain catastrophizing in relation to anxiety, depression, and disease-specific QoL in patients with facial pain attributed to CRS. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Diagnosis of presumed CRS was based upon current American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) guidelines; all participants reported facial pain as a component of their CRS symptomatology. RSDI, HADS, and PCS questionnaires were administered upon presentation prior to intervention, and objective measurements of sinonasal inflammation were obtained via nasal endoscopy and computed tomography (CT). RESULTS Seventy-five patients were enrolled in the study. Significant positive correlations were found between PCS and HADS, total RSDI, and RSDI emotional sub-scores (P < .05). The incidence of objective evidence of disease, as measured via nasal endoscopy and CT, was not significantly different in catastrophizing patients. CONCLUSIONS Pain catastrophizing correlates with anxiety/depression and worse disease-specific QoL in patients meeting symptomatic criteria for CRS. Otolaryngologists should be aware that catastrophic thinking can intensify a patient's perception of sinonasal symptoms, and clinicians may consider management of psychological comorbidity to optimize rhinologic outcomes.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) occurs in >10% of the adult population in Europe and the USA and can be differentiated into CRS without nasal polyps and CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Both phenotypes are characterized by a high disease burden and an overlapping spectrum of symptoms, with facial pain and loss of smell being the most differentiating. Great progress has been made in the understanding of CRS pathophysiology: from the epithelium and epithelial-mesenchymal transition to innate and adaptive immunity pathways and, finally, on the role of eosinophils and Staphylococcus aureus in the persistence of disease. Although clinical manifestations and diagnostic tools (including nasal endoscopy and imaging) have undergone major changes over the past few years, management (including pharmacotherapy, surgery and biologics) has experienced enormous progress based on the growing knowledge of key mediators in severe CRSwNP. The introduction of endotyping has led to a differentiation of 'tailored' surgical approaches, focusing on the mucosal concept in those with severe CRSwNP and on the identification of patients eligible for extended surgery and possibly biologics in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common chronic respiratory disorder. This study aimed to investigate the relation between nasal obstruction and sexual dysfunction in men with CRS. METHODS In this case-control study, 100 married men aged 19 to 48 years with CRS and 56 healthy married men were selected, consecutively. For assessment of nasal obstruction severity NOSE scale (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation) was used and IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function) inventory was used to assess sexual function. RESULTS Mean age of patients with CRS and controls was 33.25 ± 6.5 and 30.58 ± 7.12 years, respectively. Nasal obstruction was moderate in 70% of patients and 95% of patients had some degrees of erectile dysfunction. A significant association was found between nasal obstruction severity and sexual function and by increasing severity of nasal obstruction, sexual function decreased significantly in CRS patients. Sexual function in total (IIEF score) and in its domains, except for sexual desire, were significantly higher in control group (P < .05). CONCLUSION There is significant inverse association between severity of nasal obstruction and sexual function. Sexual function decreases with increasing severity of nasal obstruction in CRS. CRS patients also have lower sexual function scores than healthy control males.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported that chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is closely related to depression. The present study aims to elucidate the association between CRS without nasal polyp and depression using a national sample cohort. Using the national sample cohort from Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, we matched patients with CRS (n = 21,707) to control participants (n = 86,828), at a ratio of 1:4, according to age, sex, household income, region of residence. The stratified Cox proportional-hazards model was used to evaluate the hazard ratio (HR) between CRS and depression. A subgroup analysis was performed according to age group and gender. The HR for depression was significantly higher in patients with CRS than in control participants (adjusted HR = 1.41, 95% confidence interval = 1.33-1.48) after adjustment for age, sex, household income, region of residence, and medical history. The risk of depression was also elevated in the subgroup analysis, regardless of age or gender. In conclusion, CRS was significantly associated with the increased risk of depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether psychological status is an effect modifier of the previously observed low discriminatory capacity of Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) scores for Lund-Mackay computed tomography (CT) results. STUDY DESIGN Observational outcomes study. SETTING Tertiary care center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We assessed patients presenting with chronic sinonasal complaints who underwent CT of the sinuses within 1 month of completing the SNOT-22 instrument. SNOT-22 overall and domain scores were calculated, as were Lund-Mackay CT scores. The discriminatory capacity of SNOT-22 scores for CT results was determined using the receiver-operator characteristic area under the curve (ROC-AUC). Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) mental health T-scores were assessed, and stratified analyses were used to test for effect modification by psychological status. RESULTS In stratified analyses, patients with better PROMIS mental health scores had SNOT-22 overall (ROC-AUC 0.96) and nasal domain scores (ROC-AUC 0.97-0.98) that were highly discriminatory for Lund-Mackay scores, while those with worse mental health scores did not (ROC-AUC 0.42-0.55, P < .007). Patients with better SNOT-22 psychological domain scores also had nasal scores that discriminated among CT results significantly better than those with worse psychological domain scores (ROC-AUC 0.65-0.69 and 0.34-0.35, respectively, P < .013). CONCLUSIONS Psychological status is an effect modifier of the relationship between SNOT-22 and Lund-Mackay scores. SNOT-22 scores were discriminatory for Lund-Mackay CT results in patients with better psychological status, while they were nondiscriminatory in those with worse psychological status. When assessing the relationship between subjective and objective measures of chronic rhinosinusitis, accounting for effect modification may have practical utility.

Abstract
Introduction Comorbid major depressive disorder (MDD) is present in up to 25% of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) cases and provides prognostic information for patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Clinical visits offer an opportunity to identify at-risk patients. Objective The purpose of the present study is to evaluate practice patterns among members of the American Rhinologic Society (ARS) in screening for/diagnosing MDD. Methods A 21-question survey was distributed to 1,206 members of the ARS from May 26, 2018 to June 12, 2018. The impact of demographic factors, including hospital setting, fellowship status, and experience were assessed through chi-squared analysis. Results A total of 80 members of the ARS completed the survey, yielding a response rate of 7%. Half of the respondents worked in academic settings and 43% had completed a rhinology fellowship. Twenty percent of the participants felt comfortable diagnosing or managing MDD, while only 10% of participants screened for MDD in patients with CRS. Respondents cited a lack of training (76%) and unfamiliarity with diagnostic criteria (76%) as barriers to the routine assessment of MDD. Most respondents (95%) considered comorbid psychiatric illness to negatively impact outcomes following ESS. Fellowship-trained respondents were significantly more likely to implement screening tools in their practice ( p = 0.05), and believe in the negative impact of MDD on postoperative outcomes ( p = 0.007), cost of care ( p = 0.04) and quality of life ( p = 0.047). Conclusion Amongst ARS members, 95% of the respondents consider comorbid MDD to negatively impact patient outcomes following ESS. Regardless, a large proportion of surgeons neither screen nor feel comfortable diagnosing MDD.

Abstract
Importance Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is associated with a decreased quality of life, affecting physical and emotional aspects of daily function, the latter of which could manifest as depression and anxiety. Objective To evaluate the risk of depression and anxiety in CRS, depending on the CRS phenotype (CRS without nasal polyps [CRSsNP] and CRS with nasal polyps [CRSwNP]). Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective nationwide cohort study used population-based insurance data (consisting of data from approximately 1 million patients). The study population included 16 224 patients with CRS and 32 448 individuals without CRS, with propensity score matching between groups according to sociodemographic factors and enrollment year. Data were collected from January 1, 2002, through December 31, 2013, and analyzed from July 1 through November 15, 2018. Main Outcomes and Measures Survival analysis, the log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate the incidence, survival rate, and hazard ratio (HR) of depression and anxiety for each group. Results Among the 48 672 individuals included in the study population (58.8% female), the overall incidence of depression during the 11-year follow-up was 1.51-fold higher in the CRS group than in the non-CRS group (24.2 vs 16.0 per 1000 person-years; adjusted HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.48-1.61). The incidence of anxiety was also higher in the CRS group than in the comparison group (42.2 vs 27.8 per 1000 person-years; adjusted HR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.52-1.62). Moreover, the adjusted HRs of developing depression (CRSsNP, 1.61 [95% CI, 1.54-1.69]; CRSwNP, 1.41 [95% CI, 1.32-1.50]) and anxiety (CRSsNP, 1.63 [95% CI, 1.57-1.69]; CRSwNP, 1.45 [95% CI, 1.38-1.52]) were greater in patients with CRSsNP than in those with CRSwNP. Conclusions and Relevance This observational study suggests that CRS is associated with an increased incidence of depression and anxiety. Specifically, findings from this study found that patients without nasal polyps showed a higher risk of developing depression and anxiety than those with nasal polyps.

Abstract
It is increasingly being recognized that active control of breathing - a key aspect of ancient Vedic meditative practices, can relieve stress and anxiety and improve cognition. However, the underlying mechanisms of respiratory modulation of neurophysiology are just beginning to be elucidated. Research shows that brainstem circuits involved in the motor control of respiration receive input from and can directly modulate activity in subcortical circuits, affecting emotion and arousal. Meanwhile, brain regions involved in the sensory aspects of respiration, such as the olfactory bulb, are like-wise linked with wide-spread brain oscillations; and perturbing olfactory bulb activity can significantly affect both mood and cognition. Thus, via both motor and sensory pathways, there are clear mechanisms by which brain activity is entrained to the respiratory cycle. Here, we review evidence gathered across multiple species demonstrating the links between respiration, entrainment of brain activity and functional relevance for affecting mood and cognition. We also discuss further linkages with cardiac rhythms, and the potential translational implications for biorhythm monitoring and regulation in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Abstract
Background Although enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been widely applied during perioperative periods for different diseases, there are few reports of ERAS in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). This study therefore aimed to evaluate the benefits of ERAS protocol compared to traditional care following ESS. Methods A total of 55 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis undergoing ESS were prospectively assigned to 1 of 5 treatment groups; ERAS groups with postoperative intravenous Flubiprofen Axetil or analgesia pump, traditional care with Flubiprofen Axetil or analgesia pump (NERAS groups), or traditional care without postoperative intravenous analgesia group (control). All patients completed the Kolcaba General Comfort Questionnaire, Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale, and Self-rating Anxiety Scale at admission and before discharge. Pain scores were recorded at 2, 6, 24, and 48 hours postsurgery and adverse reactions to analgesics were noted. Results Patients in ERAS group demonstrated significantly higher general comfort scores and lower self-rating anxiety scores compared to patients in NERAS and control groups. Compared to control patients, patients in ERAS group reported significantly lower pain scores at 6, 24, and 48 hours. Moreover, pain alleviated from 6 hours postsurgery in ERAS group compared to 48 hours in NERAS group. Patients using opioids experienced more adverse nausea events than patients using only nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Conclusions The use of patient-tailored ERAS programs following ESS may help to attain higher general comfort and to alleviate perioperative anxiety compared with traditional perioperative care. Adequate postoperative analgesia with NSAIDs in ERAS protocol may alleviate pain earlier with fewer adverse reactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has been associated with comorbid depression, yet the prevalence of depression among all patients with CRS is not well described. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a validated instrument for diagnosing depression, has been used to assess depression in a variety of clinical settings. PHQ-9 scores ≥10 are the threshold for a depression diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of depression in a rhinology practice and compare the PHQ-9 with the 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Tertiary rhinology practice. SUBJECTS AND METHODS During the 2-month period ending April 30, 2018, all rhinology patients were asked to complete the PHQ-9 and SNOT-22. RESULTS Among 216 patients, 46 (21.3%) had a self-reported history of depression, and 39 (18.1%) had a PHQ-9 score ≥10. Of the 39 patients screening positive for depression, 18 (41.9%) had no history of depression. Comparison of PHQ-9 with overall SNOT-22 score had a Pearson's coefficient of 0.632 (P < .005). Logistic regression showed that the highest 2 quintiles of SNOT-22 scores had an odds ratio of 60.6 (95% CI, 9.7-378.3) for a positive depression screen (PHQ-9 score ≥10). CONCLUSION Depression rates (estimated by PHQ-9 responses) among rhinology patients are similar to chronic disease populations; depression may be underdiagnosed in rhinology patients. Higher SNOT-22 scores were associated with higher PHQ-9 scores. Further studies are warranted to understand the impact of comorbid conditions of depression and CRS in patient quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the nose and paranasal sinuses. It often has a high burden and is difficult to treat because of comorbidities. However, no population-based, long-term longitudinal study has investigated the relationship between CRS and its comorbidities. OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential relationship between CRS and its comorbidities-asthma, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stroke, anxiety disorder, and depression-using a representative sample. METHODS Data for a total of 1,025,340 patients from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database from 2002 to 2013, including 14,762 patients with CRS and 29,524 patients without CRS, were used for this study. A 1:2 propensity score matching was performed using the nearest-neighbor matching method and sociodemographic factors and enrollment year. Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the hazard ratio (HR) of CRS for asthma, AMI, stroke, anxiety disorder, and depression. RESULTS The incidence rates of asthma, AMI, and stroke were 71.1, 3.1, and 7.7 per 1000 person-years in patients with CRS, respectively. The adjusted HRs of asthma, AMI, and stroke were 2.06 (95% CI, 2.00-2.13), 1.29 (95% CI, 1.15-1.44), and 1.16 (95% CI, 1.08-1.24), respectively, in patients with CRS versus patients without CRS. The incidence rates of anxiety disorder and depression in patients with CRS were 42.1 and 24.2 per 1000 person-years, respectively. The adjusted HRs of anxiety disorder (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.49-1.60) and depression (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.44-1.57) were significantly greater in patients with CRS versus patients without CRS. CONCLUSIONS CRS is associated with an increased incidence of asthma, AMI, stroke, anxiety disorder, and depression. Therefore, we suggest that clinicians should monitor patients with CRS carefully, and optimize management as a means to potentially decrease these other associated comorbid conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although many studies have highlighted the link between asthma/rhinitis and depression, it is still unclear which characteristics of these diseases are associated with the risk of depression. We aimed to explore the relationship between depression and asthma or rhinitis in a representative sample of the Italian general population. METHODS The data were collected in GEIRD, an Italian multicenter, population-based, multicase-control study. 2227 participants (age 21-86 years, female 50%) underwent standardized interviews, skin prick and lung function tests, and were divided into cases of current asthma (n = 528), rhinitis without asthma (n = 972), and controls (n = 727). Two specific questions from the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2) were asked to identify symptoms of depressed mood and anhedonia, which were used as a proxy of major depression disorder. RESULTS The prevalence of depression was 16.7%, 11.9%, and 5.1% in subjects with asthma, rhinitis and controls, respectively. Both in asthma and rhinitis, subjects with depression had worse respiratory-health related quality of life and more frequent disease-related symptoms than their non-depressed counterparts. In asthma, depression was associated with poorer disease control. In rhinitis, depression was significantly associated with a disease-related limitations in daily activities and greater risk of symptom exacerbations and prescriptions of medicines for breathing. Cases of rhinitis with depression were less likely to be atopic. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that rhinitis exacerbations, particularly in non-atopic subjects, and low asthma control are strongly related to the presence of depressed mood in adults from the general population.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Associations between CRS and poor sleep quality have been reported. This 10-year follow-up study investigates possible associations between incident CRS and sleep quality. METHODS A questionnaire was sent to 16,500 individuals in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Estonia in 2000. It included questions on airway diseases, age, sex, body mass index, smoking habits, comorbidities, education and sleep quality. In 2010, a second questionnaire was sent to the same individuals, with a response rate of 53%. A subgroup of 5,145 individuals without nasal symptoms in 2000 was studied. Multiple logistic regression was performed to examine associations between CRS (defined according to the European position paper on rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps epidemiological criteria) at follow-up and sleep quality, with adjustment for potential confounders. Individuals with the respective sleep problem at baseline were excluded. RESULTS Over 10 years, 141 (2.7%) of the individuals without nasal symptoms in 2000 had developed CRS. CRS was associated with difficulties inducing sleep (adjusted odds ratio 2.81 [95% CI 1.67-4.70]), difficulties maintaining sleep (2.07 [1.35-3.18]), early morning awakening (3.03 [1.91-4.81]), insomnia (2.21 [1.46-3.35]), excessive daytime sleepiness (2.85 [1.79-4.55]), and snoring (3.31 [2.07-5.31]). Three insomnia symptoms at baseline increased the risk of CRS at follow-up by 5.00 (1.93-12.99). CONCLUSIONS Incident CRS is associated with impaired sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness. Insomnia symptoms may be a risk factor for the development of CRS.

Abstract
AIMS The goal of this study was to analyze the association between chronic somatic conditions and depression diagnosis in children and adolescents. METHODS The present case-control study included 13,326 children and adolescents with depression as well as controls without depression followed in 243 pediatric practices between 2010 and 2015. Cases and controls were matched by age, gender, index year, and physician. The effect of several chronic disorders in terms of the risk of developing depression was estimated using logistic regression models. RESULTS Depression was diagnosed in 0.7% of the population. The prevalence of depression increased with age from 0.2% in individuals aged 7 years to 2.0% in those aged 15 years. Depression was significantly associated with anorexia nervosa (OR = 6.69), ADHD (OR = 2.32), chronic sinusitis (OR = 1.82), short stature due to endocrine disorder (OR = 1.70), obesity (OR = 1.57), disorders of the thyroid gland (OR = 1.53) and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (OR = 1.42). The risk of a depression diagnosis also increased with the number of chronic conditions (one condition: OR = 1.69; two conditions: OR = 1.81; more than two conditions: OR = 2.03). CONCLUSIONS Depression was associated with several chronic disorders and the number of such conditions in pediatric practices in Germany. Therefore, depression should be regularly assessed in young patients affected by chronic disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Microbial biofilms seem to play an active role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). They represent an adaptive defense resource enabling resistance to antibiotics and host defense mechanisms. Biofilms are thought to be accountable for refractory cases of sinusitis by perpetuating local inflammation. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of spray cryotherapy as a biofilm disruption agent in CRS in an in vitro model. RECENT FINDINGS A total of 23 patients with CRS undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) were included. Rhinosinusal mucosa samples were harvested. Half of sample was left intact while the other half was treated with spray cryotherapy, so patients served as their own witnesses. Subsequently, they were processed to hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and toluidine blue (TB) staining and analyzed by light microscopy. Biofilms were detected in 17 of 23 patients with CRS. Staining by HE showed strong correlation with the results of TB staining protocol. The in vitro CRS study demonstrated that spray cryotherapy removed polymicrobial biofilms from the mucosa surface in 70.6% of cases and induced important structural changes in the remaining samples. Thus far, cryotherapy has proven to be a reliable method for the disruption of microbial biofilms in CRS with nasal polyps, in vitro conditions. Spray cryotherapy could be a considerable benefit in the management of recalcitrant CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The complex relationships between the human microbiota, the immune system, and the brain play important roles in both health and disease, and have been of increasing interest in the study of chronic inflammatory mucosal conditions. We hypothesized that the sinonasal microbiota may act as a modifier of interkingdom neural signaling and, subsequently, mental health, in the upper respiratory inflammatory condition chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). In this study we investigated associations between the sinonasal microbiota; local concentrations of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA); and depression severity in a cohort of 14 CRS patients and 12 healthy controls. METHODS Subject demographics, clinical severity scores, depression index scores, and sinonasal swab and mucus samples were collected at the time of surgery. Bacterial communities were characterized from swabs by 16S rRNA gene-targeted sequencing and quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Mucus concentrations of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and GABA were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Several commonly "health-associated" sinonasal bacterial taxa were positively associated with higher neurotransmitter concentrations and negatively associated with depression severity. In contrast, several taxa commonly associated with an imbalanced sinonasal microbiota negatively associated with neurotransmitters and positively with depression severity. Few significant differences were identified when comparing between control and CRS subject groups, including neurotransmitter concentrations, depression scores, or sinonasal microbiota composition or abundance. CONCLUSION The findings obtained lend support to the potential for downstream effects of the sinonasal microbiota on neural signaling and, subsequently, brain function and behavior.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Only a minority of patients referred to specialists with sinonasal symptoms have clear evidence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study aims to estimate the prevalence of and associations between (i) general illness factors (fatigue, autonomic dysfunction) and (ii) psychological factors (anxiety, depression, somatisation, personality traits) in patients presenting with sinonasal symptoms. DESIGN The following validated questionnaires were administered to patients: the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) identifying symptom burden, Composite Autonomic Symptom Score-31 (COMPASS-31) measuring autonomic function, Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15) addressing somatisation symptoms, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the International Personality Item Pool-50 (IPIP-50). Comparisons were made with normative and general population data, and relationships were analysed using nonparametric correlation. SETTING Secondary care ENT outpatients. PARTICIPANTS Adults referred with chronic sinonasal symptoms. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES SNOT-22, COMPASS-31, Chalder, PHQ-15, HADS, and IPIP-50 questionnaire scores. RESULTS Sixty-one patients were included. There was a high prevalence of all general and psychological factors assessed compared with controls. Total SNOT-22 scores showed significant correlation with Chalder fatigue scores, total autonomic dysfunction score, anxiety, depression, somatisation tendencies and the emotionally unstable personality trait. Emotional instability and psychological dysfunction correlated significantly with sleep and psychological subscales of SNOT-22 but not the rhinological or ear/facial subscales. CONCLUSION Patients with sinonasal symptoms demonstrate high prevalence and complex associations of general illness factors, psychological distress and certain personality traits. The SNOT-22 is a valuable tool, but its utility is limited by correlations with these confounding factors (eg psychological factors) that may exaggerate the total score. The use of the SNOT-22 component subscales is likely to provide more clinically meaningful and discriminant information.

Abstract
Anxiety and depression in the elderly individuals have been studied around the world, and some authors consider them among the most serious problems faced by modern societies. With recent economic crisis—very important in Southern European countries—isolation, loneliness, and exclusion of the active society, mental problems are probably raising and associated with distinct factors. In this cross-sectional analysis, nested in a longitudinal population-based cohort study, we analyze anxiety and depression prevalence, and their related factors, in a representative cohort of Portuguese seniors. We used data retrieved from second wave of follow-up of EpiDoC Cohort—EpiDoC 2 study, which is composed by 10,661 adults, representative of adult Portuguese population. This study included all ≥65 years old EpiDoC 2 study participants, who responded to Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), n = 1,680. Sociodemographic, lifestyles, self-reported non-communicable diseases, health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-3D), physical function (HAQ), and health resources consumption data were collected. Anxiety and depression were assessed with HADS. Anxiety and depression prevalence were estimated. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess anxiety and depression score determinants. The estimated prevalence of anxiety among Portuguese elderly is 9.6% and depression is 11.8%. Seniors with anxiety and seniors with depression have a higher probability to self-report higher levels of physical disability (OR = 3.10; 96% CI 2.12–4.52; OR = 3.08, 95% CI 2.29–4.14, respectively) and lower levels of quality of life (OR = 0.03, 95% CI 0.01–0.09; OR = 0.03, 95% CI 0.01–0.06, respectively). Female gender (OR = 2.77, 95% CI 1.53–5.00), low educational level (OR = 2.30, 95% CI 1.22–4.36), allergic (OR = 2.02, 95% CI 1.14–3.55), and rheumatic disease (OR = 2.92, 95% CI 1.74–4.90) were significantly and independently associated with the presence of anxiety symptoms. Physical inactivity (OR = 1.64, 95% CI 1.11–2.42) and low educational level (OR = 2.40, 95% CI 1.41–4.09) were significantly and independently associated with depression symptoms. Subjects that reported to drink alcohol daily or occasionally were negatively associated with depression symptoms. Anxiety and depression are frequent among Portuguese elderly. These prevalence rates suggest that preventing mental illness in senior population is a crucial need. A well-designed prevention strategy might have an effective action in raising the well-being of elderly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is associated with significant losses of patient productivity that cost billions of dollars every year. The causative factors for decreases in productivity in patients with CRS have yet to be determined. OBJECTIVE To determine which patterns of CRS symptoms drive lost productivity. METHODS Prospective, cross-sectional cohort study of 107 patients with CRS. Sinonasal symptom severity was measured using the 22-item Sinonasal Outcomes Test, from which sleep, nasal, otologic or facial pain, and emotional function subdomain scores were calculated using principal component analysis. Depression risk was assessed with the 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2), whereas nasal obstruction was assessed with the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) instrument. Lost productivity was assessed by asking participants how many days of work and/or school they missed in the last 3 months because of CRS. Associations were sought between lost productivity and CRS symptoms. RESULTS A total of 107 patients were recruited. Patients missed a mean (SD) of 3.1 (12.9) days of work or school because of CRS. Lost productivity was most strongly associated with the emotional function subdomain (β = 7.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.71-9.25; P < .001). Reinforcing this finding, lost productivity was associated with PHQ-2 score (β = 4.72; 95% CI, 2.62-6.83; P < .001). Lost productivity was less strongly associated with the nasal symptom subdomain score (β = 2.65; 95% CI, 0.77-4.52; P = .007), and there was no association between lost productivity and NOSE score (β = 0.01; 95% CI, -0.12 to 0.13; P = .91). CONCLUSION Symptoms associated with depression are most strongly associated with missed days of work or school because of CRS. Further treatment focusing on depression-associated symptoms in patients with CRS may reduce losses in productivity.

Abstract
Objective Examine the relationship between depression symptoms and sinonasal inflammatory diseases, and investigate health disparities associated with allergic rhinitis (AR) and sinusitis in the United States. Study Design Cross‐sectional analysis of 2014 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data. Methods Adult cases of AR and sinusitis were extracted from the 2014 NHIS in addition to demographic, socioeconomic, and related depressive symptom data. The dataset was analyzed with chi‐square, t‐tests, and multivariate regression. Results There were 19.1 ± 1.1 million adult AR cases and 29.4 ± 1.4 million adult sinusitis cases. Of these, 20.6% and 22.0% reported depression symptoms in the past 12 months for those with AR or sinusitis, respectively. Both diseases were also associated with significantly fewer mean hours of sleep a night (AR: 7.02 vs. 7.14, P < 0.01; Sinusitis: 6.98 vs. 7.14, P < 0.01) and greater mean days of work missed (AR: 4.60 vs. 3.62, P < 0.01; Sinusitis: 5.87 vs. 3.41; P < 0.01). On multivariate analysis, the prevalence of AR and sinusitis was significantly higher among men, Caucasians, older adults, the more educated, and adults with depression symptoms. Only the prevalence of sinusitis varied depending on income and geography. Conclusion Allergic rhinitis and sinusitis are associated with an increased likelihood of depressive symptoms, shorter sleep duration, and more workdays lost. The prevalence of both are influenced by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and education level. Targeted initiatives should be developed to address these health disparities and comorbidities associated with inflammatory sinonasal disease. Level of Evidence 4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) measure health states in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and have become the dominant metrics of treatment outcomes. Interpersonal traits (IPTs) are patient-specific factors that include personality type, perceived social support, and trust in physicians. The association of IPTs on treatment outcomes among patients with CRS has not been described previously, and IPTs may represent major clinical factors influencing treatment outcomes. METHODS Adult patients electing medical or surgical treatment for recalcitrant CRS were prospectively enrolled into a multi-institutional, observational outcomes study. Validated measures of IPTs, including the Big Five Inventory-10 Short Version (BFI-10), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Trust in Physician Scale (TPS), were completed and compared with PROMs, which included the 22-item SinoNasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-6D (SF-6D), and the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2). RESULTS Three hundred fifty-four participants were included and followed for an average (± standard deviation) of 16.3 (±4.8) months. Significant within-subject improvement in mean PROM scores was reported (all p <0.001). No association was detected between PROM score improvement and baseline BFI-10 or MSPSS scores (p > 0.050). Significant, but weak, absolute correlations were reported between baseline TPS scores and improvement in SNOT-22, SF-6D, and PHQ-2 total scores (p < 0.050; r ≤ 0.138). CONCLUSION Personality type and perceived social support do not associate with improvement after treatment for CRS. However, increased trust in physicians is weakly associated with greater posttreatment improvement. Further study is needed to examine the relationship between physician trust, patient satisfaction, and treatment outcomes among patients with CRS.

Abstract
Objective Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is associated with an increased risk for depression. Since nasal obstruction is a symptom of CRS that is treatable, we sought to characterize its impact on the risk for depression in CRS. Study Design Prospective cross-sectional cohort of 94 patients with CRS. Setting Academic tertiary care rhinology clinic. Subjects and Methods Patients with CRS without vasculitis, cystic fibrosis, sarcoidosis, immunodeficiency, or sinonasal malignancy. Risk for depression was assessed with the 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2) while nasal obstruction was assessed with the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) instrument. Multivariate logistic regressions were performed to seek association between NOSE and PHQ-2 scores. Analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves defined a NOSE threshold for detecting participants with PHQ-2 greater than 1. Results Of the 94 participants, the mean NOSE score was 47.3, and 29.8% of patients had a PHQ-2 score greater than 1. We found an elevated NOSE score was associated with having a PHQ-2 score greater than 1 (adjusted odds ratio, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05; P = .001). Alternatively, a 23-point increase in NOSE score was associated with a 1.5-fold increase in PHQ-2 score (adjusted relative risk, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.03; P < .001). ROC analysis identified an optimal NOSE threshold of 42.5 for detecting participants with PHQ-2 greater than 1, with 82.1% sensitivity and 50.0% specificity. Conclusions The impact of nasal obstruction is associated with an increased risk for depression in patients with CRS. Assessing for severe nasal obstruction may help to identify those patients with CRS with the highest risk for depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression has been reported in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but its prevalence varies across studies, and uncertainty remains regarding the association with baseline disease severity and treatment outcomes. OBJECTIVE To systematically assess the prevalence of depression in CRS and to review its relationship to baseline disease severity and outcomes after treatment. METHODS A systematic review of the prevalence of possible depression was performed by using the available methods to diagnose depression, and the results were pooled. Studies that examined the relationship of depression on baseline disease severity and treatment outcomes were organized and reported individually. RESULTS Thirteen studies met inclusion criteria for prevalence analysis. The prevalence of possible or likely depression in patients with CRS ranged from 11.0 to 40.0%, depending on the method of diagnosis and sensitivity of various depression instruments. Positive depression screening was consistently associated with worse CRS-specific quality of life (QOL), medication usage, and health care utilization, but there were no reliable CRS-specific factors to predict the presence of depression. Patients with possible depression who underwent medical or surgical treatment for CRS tended to have improvements in CRS-specific QOL but did not achieve the same degree of QOL as patients who were not depressed. Depression-specific QOL seemed to improve after treatment for CRS. CONCLUSION Positive depression screening was common in patients with CRS and had a negative association on the entire spectrum of QOL, health care utilization, and productivity. CRS-specific treatments were still beneficial in patients who seemed to be depressed and improved both depression-specific and CRS-specific QOL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is underdiagnosed but significantly impacts treatment outcomes and health care utilization. OBJECTIVE To compare undiagnosed depression in a CRS cohort with a healthy, non-CRS control cohort. METHODS A case-control study of patients with symptomatic CRS and a non-CRS control cohort was performed. Demographic and comorbidity factors were correlated to depression-specific outcomes by using the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI). RESULTS We enrolled 42 patients with CRS and 88 control patients with no history of CRS. Physician-diagnosed depression was equivalent in CRS and control patients (6% and 9%, respectively). BDI-detected depression was higher among patients with CRS compared with controls (31% versus 14.8%, respectively; p = 0.031). BDI scores were higher in patients with CRS even when controlling for comorbid asthma, allergy, and aspirin sensitivity. When examined by polyp status, the patients without polyps had more depression than did the controls (38% versus 14.8%; p = 0.048). The somatic subscale scores of the BDI were worse in patients with CRS (p = 0.004), whereas the cognitive subscale trended toward significance (p = 0.081). CONCLUSION Depression may be more common in CRS than previously recognized, especially in patients without polyps. Somatic subscale scores of the BDI are increased in CRS and may impact future treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis refers to inflammation of the nasal and sinuses mucosa and the main criteria for diagnosis of this disease related to the nasal cavity or the facial area. According to several reports based on the relationship of this disease with mental disorders, psychological issues are missing in the criteria of chronic rhinosinusitis diagnosis. In this study the etiology and clinical symptoms of the disease were studied by searching scientific databases and authentic Iranian Medicine books such as Avicenna's book The Canon of Medicine (Al-Qanun fi't-Tibb) that now taught in medicine schools of the Traditional East Asian; the results of this study showed that rhinosinusitis accompaniment with psychological symptoms are listed in abundance not only in old books but also in scientific literature before 1928 but after the discovery of antibiotics and extreme attention in the context of physiopathological assignment of diseases to pathogens, this relationship has been weakened. Given the positive results of recent studies on rhinosinusitis accompaniment with psychological disorders it is suggested that more studies are needed to explore the relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis and psychological diseases and, if necessary, to be included in the diagnostic criteria as a diagnostic standard.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Depression is frequently undiagnosed in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and affects quality of life, productivity, and health care use. OBJECTIVE To examine depression-specific outcomes after medical or surgical treatment of CRS. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A multi-institutional, prospective study of patients with refractory CRS treated at tertiary academic rhinology centers was performed from March 1, 2011, to November 1, 2015. Data analysis was performed from October 1, 2015, to November 1, 2015. INTERVENTIONS Patients self-selected to undergo continued medical management or endoscopic sinus surgery for refractory CRS. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Patients completed the 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT22), Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and missed productivity and medication use questionnaires before and at least 6 months after treatment. Computed tomography and endoscopy scoring were performed with reviewers masked to patient-reported data. Depression-specific outcomes were recorded using the 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ2). RESULTS Baseline data were available on 685 patients, with 167 (24.4%) having depression according to the PHQ2 scores. The mean (SD) age of the patients was 50.5 (15.0) years, and 332 (48.4%) were male. Revision surgery status was the only baseline factor associated with depression (53.9% vs 38.0%, P < .001). Patients with depression had worse baseline SNOT22 (mean, 64.5 vs 47.6), PSQI (mean, 12.8 vs 8.4), productivity (mean, 22.8 vs 5.2 days missed), and medication use scores for oral antibiotics (mean, 23.8 vs 14.8) and oral corticosteroids (mean, 17.8 vs 9.9) (P < .001 for all). Medical and surgical treatments had similar outcomes for patients with depression with mean improvement in the PHQ2 scores from 3.96 to 1.91 (P < .001), and 110 of 167 patients (65.9%) categorized as having depression at baseline were categorized as not having depression after treatment. Improvements in the PHQ2 scores were associated with improvements in the SNOT22, PSQI, oral antibiotic use, and productivity scores (P ≤ .001 for all). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Depression is a common comorbidity in patients with CRS and affects numerous quality-of-life and health care outcomes. There are few objective baseline factors to aid physicians in identifying depression in patients with CRS. Medical and surgical treatments for CRS improve depression and related clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) often have to endure significant wait times for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). The pyschiatric impact of placement on a waitlist for ESS has not been explored. METHODS Questionnaires measuring CRS symptom severity and health-related anxiety and stress (SNOT-22, HADS, WPAI-GH) were sent to patients diagnosed with CRS and currently on a waitlist for ESS. Fifteen representative waitlisted patients participated in one-on-one semi-structured interviews discussing their experience with their wait for ESS. A deductive thematic analysis was used to interpret the interview data using a quantitative driven mixed methods analysis. RESULTS Participants waiting for ESS reported worsening clinical symptomatology during their waiting period. Participants reported waitlist and CRS impact on both work and social aspects of their lives. The HADS scale showed no overall significant level of depression or anxiety in the HADS screening questionnaire. The qualitative data describe the effects of the symptom burden of CRS. CONCLUSIONS Patients waitlisted for ESS did not demonstrate any significant level of psychiatric distress, however variability exists. The qualitative arm of this study elucidates how patients cope with their wait.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychological dysfunction is highly prevalent among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Previous study has identified various measures of anxiety and depression as predictors of quality-of-life outcomes following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Psychological dysfunction scores, as measured by the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), have been found to influence treatment decision making in CRS. This study aims to further elucidate improvement in discrete psychological symptoms following ESS for CRS. METHODS Adult patients with medically recalcitrant CRS electing to undergo ESS were prospectively enrolled into a multi-institutional, observational cohort. Psychological-related symptom severity and postoperative outcomes were assessed using psychological domain items of the SNOT-22, including subgroup analysis of patients with and without comorbid depression. RESULTS A total of 374 participants met inclusion criteria and were followed postoperatively for a mean ± standard deviation (SD) of 14.6 ± 5.0 months. Total mean psychological domain scores improved from 15.9 ± 8.2 to 8.5 ± 8.4 (p < 0.001). Significant relative mean improvements were reported in "waking up tired" (23%; p < 0.001), "fatigue" (25%; p < 0.001), "reduced productivity" (28%; p < 0.001), "reduced concentration" (27%; p < 0.001), " frustrated/restless/irritable" (27%; p < 0.001), "sad" (15%; p < 0.001), and "embarrassed" (8%; p < 0.001) scores. A total of 64% to 66% of participants reported improvement in "reduced productivity," "waking up tired," "fatigue," and "frustrated/restless/irritable," compared to 46% and 38% reporting improvement in "sad" and "embarrassed," respectively. CONCLUSION Patients with CRS report significant improvement in common mental health-related symptoms following ESS. Despite these improvements, some degree of persistent postoperative psychological dysfunction was reported. Further study is necessary to determine which factors are associated with persistent psychological dysfunction after ESS in order to optimize treatment outcomes.
