Abstract
Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) that is refractory to maximal medical and surgical therapy should be evaluated for other primary conditions. Cystic fibrosis (CF), primary immunodeficiency (PID), and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are potential risk factors for refractory CRS. These conditions present with variable disease severity and diagnosis may be delayed into adulthood. We report a case of a mother-daughter pair with CRS refractory to maximal medical management. The patients were further evaluated and found to have features consistent with CF, PID, and PCD. All 3 are rare disorders and thought to cause CRS in isolation. Patients with refractory CRS should be further evaluated to identify alternative diagnoses and ensure proper management. Refractory CRS may be multifactorial, with different risk factors simultaneously contributing to its persistence.

J Formos Med Assoc 2024:S0929-6646(24)00174-8. [PMID: 38531697 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2024.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Given the lack of consensus on the screening and treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in the patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), we reviewed the risk factors for CRS to improve the efficiency of sinonasal screening and analyzed the effect of treating CRS in search of guidance for modifying current management strategies for rhinosinusitis in HSCT patients. METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study in a retrospective cohort of hematologic patients receiving HSCT from April 2011 to April 2021 and collected data on demographics, smoking/atopic status, hematological diseases, and features of rhinosinusitis for analysis. The associated factors for control of rhinosinusitis and survival were analyzed. RESULTS Fifty-eight CRS patients were identified, and another 116 age- and sex-matched controls were selected from HSCT patients without CRS. Allergy and smoking were risk factors for CRS in HSCT patients. The multivariable logistic analysis indicated that endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) was an independent factor for better control of CRS. However, survival was not associated with rhinosinusitis-related factors, but only with hematologic-related factors, including allogenic HSCT, reduced-intensity conditioning, and remission. CONCLUSIONS Sinonasal evaluation should be targeted to the high-risk group. ESS is effective in managing CRS, while control of CRS is not determinant of overall survival in patients receiving HSCT.

Abstract
This is the first study to examine chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) outcomes after starting immunoglobulin (Ig) replacement therapy for patients with primary (PID) and secondary immunodeficiency (SID). This is a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with CRS from 2018 to 2022 prior to initiating Ig therapy for the treatment of PID or SID. Outcomes included medication use and Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores. Ten patients met the inclusion criteria. PID and SID patients had a decrease in antibiotics (PID: 9.40 to 3.20, P = .05, SID: 8.20 to 2.00, P = .04) and steroids (PID: (5.40 to 0.60; P = .06; SID: 2.20 to 0.20, P = .047) prescribed in the year after Ig compared to the year prior. Patients with SID had a decrease in mean SNOT-22 scores by 12 months after Ig (47.50 to 20.50, P = 0.03). Patients receiving Ig for PID and SID showed decreased medication use and SID patients experienced subjective improvement in CRS symptoms in year-over-year comparison.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is clear evidence that the prevalence of primary antibody deficiency (PAD) is higher in patients with recurrent and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) than in the general population. The purpose of this multi-institutional and multidisciplinary evidence-based review with recommendations (EBRR) is to thoroughly review the literature on rhinosinusitis with PAD, summarize the existing evidence, and provide recommendations on the evaluation and management of rhinosinusitis in patients with PAD. METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were systematically reviewed from inception through August 2022. Studies on the evaluation and management of rhinosinusitis in PAD patients were included. An iterative review process was utilized in accordance with EBRR guidelines. Levels of evidence and recommendations on the evaluation and management principles for PAD were generated. RESULTS A total of 42 studies were included in this evidence-based review. These studies were evaluated on incidence of PAD in rhinosinusitis patients, incidence of rhinosinusitis in PAD patients, and on the different treatment modalities used and their outcome. The aggregate quality of evidence was varied across reviewed domains. CONCLUSION Based on the currently available evidence, PAD can occur in up to 50% of patients with recalcitrant CRS. Despite the presence of multiple studies addressing rhinosinusitis and PAD, the level of evidence supporting different treatment options continues to be lacking. Optimal management requires a multidisciplinary approach through collaboration with clinical immunology. There is need for higher-level studies that compare different treatments in patients with PAD and rhinosinusitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and immunoglobulin deficiencies (ID) have more recalcitrant sinonasal disease and a subset of these patients undergo surgical management for their CRS. However, there is a paucity of literature on the surgical outcomes in this patient population and appropriate treatment algorithms for CRS in patients with ID. The objective of this study was to better elucidate the outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in patients with ID in terms of disease-specific quality-of-life scores and the need for revision surgery. METHODS A case-control study was performed comparing adult patients with ID and healthy controls that had undergone ESS for CRS. Patients were matched based on age, sex, CRS phenotype, and preoperative Lund-Mackay score. The revision surgery rates, time to revision surgery, and changes in sinonasal outcome tests (SNOT-22) were evaluated. RESULTS Thirteen patients with CRS and ID were matched to 26 control patients with CRS. The revision surgery rate for cases and controls was 31% and 12%, respectively, but there was no statistical difference (p > 0.05). There was a clinically meaningful reduction in SNOT-22 scores in both groups from the preoperative to postoperative period [mean of 12 points in patients with ID (p = 0.323) and 25 points in controls (p < 0.001)], however, there was again no significant difference between cases and controls (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Our data suggests that patients with ID have clinically meaningful improvement in SNOT-22 scores after ESS but may have higher revision rates than immunocompetent patients with CRS. ID are rare disease entities, thus most attempts at studying this cohort would be limited by sample size. Further homogenous data on immunoglobulin deficient patients is required for future meta-analysis to better understand the impact of ESS in patients with ID.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Studies suggest that transplant patients are at risk for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, there is limited information in the literature regarding frequency and reasons for failure of adequate medical therapy. We aim to determine the risk factors associated with the development of medically recalcitrant CRS requiring endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort. SETTING Mayo Clinic. METHODS This is a retrospective chart review of 925 transplant recipients seen at Mayo Clinic between 2017 and 2022. INCLUSION CRITERIA (1) a rhinologic consultation after transplant and (2) clinical diagnosis of CRS. A total of 549 patients met the inclusion criteria and were divided based on the need for ESS versus successful treatment with medical therapy. Univariate and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors and predictive variables related to failure of medical therapy. RESULTS Of the 549 patients, 201/549 (37%) had medically recalcitrant disease requiring ESS, while 348/549 (63%) were successfully treated with medical therapy Based on logistic regression, patients with recurrent acute rhinosinusitis in the pretransplant period were 8.68 more likely to have a recalcitrant disease (95% confidence interval, 3.72-20.28, p < 0.0001). Some of the largest determinants of medical therapy failure in the posttransplant period were CRS with nasal polyps, odontogenic CRS, and noninvasive fungal sinusitis. The presence of neutropenia, aplastic anemia, and living transplant were also associated with medically recalcitrant CRS requiring ESS. CONCLUSION Our predictive model identifies with high accuracy the patients who may be at risk of developing recalcitrant CRS in the organ transplant population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess whether hematological indices of the peripheral blood are associated with revision surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). METHODS This retrospective, cross-sectional, single-center study included 541 CRS patients that underwent ESS. Demographics and laboratory parameters were retrieved, and group comparisons were performed. We computed binary logistic regression models to associate clinical characteristics (i.e., aeroallergen allergies, asthma, presence of nasal polyps), absolute blood counts of different leukocyte types (i.e., lymphocytes, neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils), and hematological indices of the peripheral blood [i.e., neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), basophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (BLR), eosinophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (ELR), and eosinophil-to-neutrophil ratio (ENR)] with revision surgery as outcome. RESULTS The study population included 435 primary surgeries and 106 revision cases. Patients undergoing revision ESS showed significantly higher absolute preoperative eosinophil counts (381.6 ± 265.6 per µl), ELR (0.205 ± 0.195), and ENR (0.105 ± 0.074) compared to primary cases (all p < 0.001). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed higher odds for revision surgery in patients higher in age (β = 1.026, p < 0.001), with presence of aeroallergen allergies (β = 1.865, p = 0.011), presence of asthma (β = 3.731, p = 0.001), higher preoperative eosinophil counts (β = 1.002, p < 0.001), and higher ELR (β = 155.663, p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS We found that higher peripheral eosinophil count and higher ELR were associated with revision ESS in CRS patients. Preoperative assessment of hematological indices of the peripheral blood might be a valuable indicator of disease severity, thus facilitating better treatment selection.

Abstract
COVID-19 is a life-threatening respiratory disease triggered by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has been considered a pandemic viral infection since December 2019. The investigation of the effective prophylaxis or therapeutic strategies for emergency management of the current condition has become a priority for medical research centers and pharmaceutical companies. This article provides a comprehensive review of antibody therapy and its different categories with their advantages and disadvantages for COVID-19 over the last few years of the current pandemic. Antibodies can be generated by active immunization, including natural infection with a pathogen and vaccination, or by the passive immunization method such as convalescent plasma therapy (CPT) and antibody synthesis in laboratories. Each of these ways has its characteristics. Arming the immune system with antibodies is the main aim of antiviral therapeutic procedures toward SARS-CoV-2. Collecting and discussing various aspects of available data in this field can give researchers a better perspective for the production of antibody-based products or selection of the most appropriate approach of antibody therapies to improve different cases of COVID-19. Moreover, it can help them control similar viral pandemics that may happen in the future appropriately.

Abstract
Knowledge of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) epidemiology may directly impact patient care: aiding patient identification and establishing accurate diagnosis as well as informing treatment decisions. The objective of this review is to summarize the current evidence on the epidemiology of CRS, with a focus on prevalence and risk factors. Although the presence of either symptoms or objective findings alone have yielded CRS prevalence estimates of over 10%, the presence of both-consistent with guideline-based diagnostic criteria for CRS-has suggested that the true prevalence of CRS is consistently less than 5%, with approximately one-third of patients with CRS having nasal polyps, in epidemiologic studies from around the world. In comparison, the prevalence of CRS endotypes-pathophysiologic subclassification of CRS most commonly as related to type 2 or non-type 2 inflammation-has been found to vary significantly by region. The epidemiology of CRS is modified and ultimately determined by risk factors: genetic/hereditary, demographic, environmental, and imparted by predictive pre-/comorbid disease. The understanding of these epidemiologic relationships may help the provider to optimally identify and understand each individual's CRS disease process, thereby improving both diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of immunoglobulin (IG) replacement therapy in adults with rhinosinusitis and primary humoral immunodeficiency disorders (PID). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Retrospective chart review of adult (18 years and older) patients who were diagnosed with PID and had the diagnosis of recurrent acute rhinosinusitis (RARS) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and who are on IG replacement therapy. Demographic data, associated conditions, and duration of treatment were reviewed. Number of yearly sinus infections, sinus CT Lund-Mackay (LM) score, and need for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were reviewed before and after starting IG therapy. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients were included. Average age was 52 years (18-79 years). About 74% were female. Thirty patients (51.7%) had common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), 18 (31.1%) had hypogammaglobulinemia, and 10 (17.2%) had specific antibody deficiency (SAD). About 79% of patients had allergic rhinitis and 74% had asthma. Pretreatment LM score was 7.6 (±2.2, range of 0-24) compared to posttreatment score of 3.5 (±1.3, range of 0-16) (P = .01). Eleven patients (19%) had FESS pretreatment compared to only two patients (3.4%) requiring ESS after starting treatment on IG therapy (P = .004). Prior to starting IG therapy, five patients (8.6%) had more than 10 sinus infections per year, 33 patients (56.9%) had 5 to 10 infections, and 20 patients (34.5%) had 1 to 5 infections per year. After starting on IG, 34 patients (58.6%) had no infections reported anymore (P < .001), and 24 patients (41.4%) had only 1 to 5 infections reported per year CONCLUSION: IG therapy is a promising treatment option for recurrent rhinosinusitis in patients with PID.
