Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small, single-stranded, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression. Accumulating evidence suggests their involvement in regulating various biological and pathological processes, including inflammation. Studies have revealed distinct expression patterns of miRNAs in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with (CRSwNP) and without (CRSsNP) nasal polyps (1). Specifically, miR-155 and miR-21 have been observed to be upregulated in CRSwNP, increasing and attenuating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, respectively (2,3). Conversely, the downregulation of miR-34, miR-449, and members of the miR-200 family has been associated with impaired ciliogenesis and the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, respectively (4,5). Nonetheless, the direct role of miRNAs in CRSwNP is still being investigated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Olfactory impairment is one of the cardinal symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), yet the effect of the currently available therapeutic options on the recovery of the sense of smell is not well defined. The aim of this systematic review was to compile the evidence on the impact of medical, surgical, and biological therapies on the olfactory outcomes in patients with CRSwNP. METHODS This review was conducted by two reviewers, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The quality of evidence of all studies included in the qualitative synthesis was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP). RESULTS Forty-four studies were included in the qualitative synthesis (assessing sinonasal surgery [n = 23], biologics [n =15], and conventional medical treatment [n = 6]); most had moderate-to-high methodological quality. Overall, significant improvements in the sense of smell were detected with all analyzed interventions measured by either an objective or a subjective tool (or both). However, most studies used different outcome measurements, hindering comparisons between interventions, and data on clinically relevant changes were missing. CONCLUSION Oral corticosteroids, biologics and sinonasal surgery improve olfactory impairment associated with CRSwNP, but the high variability among existing studies does not allow accurate comparisons.

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
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a highly prevalent and burdensome disease for both individuals and health systems. Its management involves many specialties, including otorhinolaryngology, allergology, pulmonology, primary care, pharmacy, and pediatrics. A multidisciplinary approach and the participation of the patient in decision-making are essential, both for diagnosis and for therapy. The authors of the consensus aim to translate current knowledge into an easy-to-read practical guide and emphasize those aspects requiring further discussion or with unmet needs owing to the lack of appropriate scientific evidence. An iterative approach for the development of an evidence-based systematic review with recommendations was followed using a standard quality assessment approach (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network [SIGN] and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [NICE]). The guideline was critically evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) and Recommendation Excellence (AGREE REX) instruments. Consequently, POLINA has been considered a high-quality guideline by an independent agency. The POLINA consensus provides new definitions of control, therapeutic management (including surgery and evaluation of severity), indications for use of biologics, and response. Finally, this guideline focuses on unmet research needs in CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with septal deviation and/or turbinal hypertrophy may experience olfactory disfunction (OD). The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of septoplasty and/or turbinoplasty on both lateralized and bilateral olfactory function. METHODOLOGY Prospective study of 47 patients with nasal obstruction secondary to septal deviation and/or turbinal hypertrophy and 20 healthy controls. The Barcelona Olfactory test (BOT-8), a new supraliminal orthonasal subjective olfactometry, was applied 3 times in a row (in each nostril separately and in both simultaneously). The 8 items were applied randomly to minimize the possible risk of learning. The test has not established the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). Anterior rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry were performed. All participants self-assessed smell loss and nasal obstruction using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and completed questionnaires for nasal obstruction (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation, NOSE) and for quality of life (QoL), using disease-specific (SinoNasal Outcome Test-22, SNOT-22) and generic (Short Form-12 Health Survey, SF-12) questionnaires. Nasal measurements and questionnaires were performed preoperatively and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS Before surgery, patients reported worse VAS on smell loss and on nasal obstruction compared to controls. Patients scored lower BOT-8 than controls. Lateralized preoperative olfactory function showed that all BOT-8 characteristics were lower at the narrow side than the wider one. Smell function and QoL improved significantly one year after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Nasal septal deviation and turbinal hypertrophy lead to an olfactory impairment on the obstructed nostril. Nasal surgery provides a positive outcome on olfactory function, as well as on subjective and objective outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Diagnostic criteria of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) include, among others, olfactory dysfunction (OD). We hypothesize that patients suffering with CRSwNP are good at self-assessing their sense of smell through visual analogue scale (VAS) compared to smell tests. METHODS A controlled cross-sectional study was planned. Adults diagnosed with severe CRSwNP waiting for endoscopic sinus surgery were included. A cohort of healthy controls was also studied. All participants performed Barcelona smell test (BAST-24), sinonasal outcomes test 22 (SNOT-22), and VAS for loss of smell. CRSwNP underwent blood test (eosinophils count, total serum IgE), CT scan (Lund-Mackay Score), and nasal endoscopy. RESULTS 138 severe CRSwNP and 40 controls subjects were included. The BAST-24 identification score was strongly correlated with the VAS score in the CRSwNP group (rho=-0.79, p<0.001) but not in the control group (rho=-0.14; p=0.39), this difference between groups being statistically significant (p<0.001). A significant correlation of SNOT-22 item 21 (loss of smell) was also found with BAST-24 identification (rho=-0.65, p<0.001), this difference being statistically significant (Z=-2.43; p=0.015). In the ROC curve, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.85 with 72.5% sensitivity and 93.1% specificity. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a potential role of the VAS score for the screening of OD in severe CRSwNP in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), which is characterized by partial loss of smell (hyposmia) or total loss of smell (anosmia), is commonly associated with asthma and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD). CRSwNP worsens disease severity and quality of life. The objective of this real-world study was to determine whether biological treatments prescribed for severe asthma can improve olfaction in patients with CRSwNP. A further objective was to compare the improvement in in olfaction in N-ERD and non-N-ERD subgroups. METHODS We performed a multicenter, noninterventional, retrospective, observational study of 206 patients with severe asthma and CRSwNP undergoing biological treatment (omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, or reslizumab). RESULTS Olfaction improved after treatment with all 4 monoclonal antibodies (omalizumab [35.8%], mepolizumab [35.4%], reslizumab [35.7%], and benralizumab [39.1%]), with no differences between the groups. Olfaction was more likely to improve in patients with atopy, more frequent use of short-course systemic corticosteroids, and larger polyp size. The proportion of patients whose olfaction improved was similar between the N-ERD (37%) and non-N-ERD (35.7%) groups. CONCLUSIONS This is the first real-world study to compare improvement in olfaction among patients undergoing long-term treatment with omalizumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, or benralizumab for severe asthma and associated CRSwNP. Approximately 4 out of 10 patients reported a subjective improvement in olfaction (with nonsignificant differences between biologic drugs). No differences were found for improved olfaction between the N-ERD and non-N-ERD groups.

Abstract
Asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis (AD) are interrelated clinical phenotypes that partly overlap in the human interactome. The concept of "one-airway-one-disease", coined over 20 years ago, is a simplistic approach of the links between upper- and lower-airway allergic diseases. With new data, it is time to reassess the concept. This article reviews (i) the clinical observations that led to Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA), (ii) new insights into polysensitisation and multimorbidity, (iii) advances in mHealth for novel phenotype definition, (iv) confirmation in canonical epidemiologic studies, (v) genomic findings, (vi) treatment approaches and (vii) novel concepts on the onset of rhinitis and multimorbidity. One recent concept, bringing together upper- and lower-airway allergic diseases with skin, gut and neuropsychiatric multimorbidities, is the "Epithelial Barrier Hypothesis". This review determined that the "one-airway-one-disease" concept does not always hold true and that several phenotypes of disease can be defined. These phenotypes include an extreme "allergic" (asthma) phenotype combining asthma, rhinitis and conjunctivitis. Rhinitis alone and rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity represent two distinct diseases with the following differences: (i) genomic and transcriptomic background (Toll-Like Receptors and IL-17 for rhinitis alone as a local disease; IL-33 and IL-5 for allergic and non-allergic multimorbidity as a systemic disease), (ii) allergen sensitisation patterns (mono- or pauci-sensitisation versus polysensitisation), (iii) severity of symptoms and (iv) treatment response. In conclusion, rhinitis alone (local disease) and rhinitis with asthma multimorbidity (systemic disease) should be considered as two distinct diseases, possibly modulated by the microbiome, and may be a model for understanding the epidemics of chronic and auto-immune diseases.

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.

BACKGROUND Sinonasal mucosal melanoma is an aggressive malignancy with a 5-year survival rate ranging from 20% to 39%. Despite the evolving surgical and radiotherapy techniques, and introduction of immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy, overall survival rates remain poor. METHODOLOGY A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona and the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau between 1984 and 2020; primary outcome measures were 3 and 5-year melanoma-specific survival (MSS). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model were performed to identify predictors of survival. RESULTS Fifty patients were included, the mean age was 70.4, MSS at 3 and 5 years was 51.2%, and 29.5%, respectively. The median follow-up was 39.6 months during which 46% presented locoregional recurrence and 36%, metastasis. The univariate and multivariate analyses found as survival predictors the N category, the treatment received, the surgical margins and the mitotic index. CONCLUSIONS We found an overall 5-year MSS of 29.5%. Those patients with intention-to-cure (stages III and IVa) treated by surgery that were N0 at diagnosis, with < 10 mitoses per HPF showed a 5-year MSS rate of 74.1%. More studies will be needed to adequately define the patients' profiles that will benefit from a better survival outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In daily clinical practice, most smell tests are difficult to implement due to their long duration. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a short, easy to perform, and reusable smell test to be implemented during COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS 120 healthy adults and 195 patients with self-reported olfactory dysfunction (OD) were included. Barcelona Olfactory Test (BOT-8) was used for detection, memory/recognition, and forced-choice identification. In addition, rose threshold test and VAS was performed. The Smell Diskettes Olfaction test (SDOT) was used for correlation in healthy volunteers, and UPSITTM for patients with OD to stablish an anosmia and hyposmia cut-off point. Considering COVID-19 pandemic disposable cotton swabs with odorants were compared with the original test. RESULTS In healthy population, BOT-8 mean scores for detection was 100%, memory/recognition was 94.5% (SD=1.07), and identification was 89.6% (SD=0.86). In OD patients was 86% (SD=32.8), 73.2% (SD=37.9) and 77.1% (SD=34.2), respectively. BOT-8 demonstrated good test-retest reliability with a 96.7% of observed agreement and a quadratic kappa of 0.84 (p<0.001). Strong correlation was observed for BOT-8 with SDOT (r=0.67, p<0.001) and UPSITTM (r=0.86, p<0.001). Disposable cotton swabs showed an excellent agreement with a kappa of 0.79 compared to the original test. The cut-off point for anosmia was ≤ 3 (AUC=0.83, Se= 0.673, Sp=0.993). CONCLUSION BOT-8 offers an efficient and fast method to be used in clinical routine to assess the smell threshold, detection, memory, and identification. Disposable cotton swabs with odorants are a useful and safe method during the COVID-19 pandemic.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The incidence of acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) is high throughout the world. Although diagnosis is clinical and disease course is mostly self-limiting, diagnostic tools and medications are overused by physicians, thus increasing the direct medical costs of the disease. Objective: The aim of the PROSINUS study was to quantify the direct medical costs of management of ARS in Spain. METHODS We performed a prospective observational study of 1610 patients with a clinical diagnosis of nonbacterial, uncomplicated ARS. According to the duration of symptoms by the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps, patients were classified as having viral or postviral ARS with different levels of severity. Direct medical costs were calculated based on medical visits, use of diagnostic tools, and medications prescribed. RESULTS Overall, the mean (SD) direct medical costs per episode were €322.3 (301.2) vs €441.1 (344.3) for viral and postviral ARS episodes, respectively (P<.001). When viral and postviral disease were compared, the medical costs per episode were €245.0 (265.4) vs €328.4 (301.9) for medical visits (P<.001), €38.1 (64.0) vs €61.9 (78.8) for diagnostic tools (P<.001), and €39.2 (25.9) vs €50.8 (25.3) for medications prescribed (P<.001). CONCLUSION The direct medical costs of postviral ARS episodes were higher than those of viral episodes (common cold). Uncomplicated nonbacterial ARS represents an important socioeconomic burden owing to the excessive number of medical visits, use of diagnostic tools, and medications prescribed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has been proposed as an alternative in the surgical removal of ventral brainstem lesions. However, the feasibility and limitations of this approach to treat such pathologies are still poorly understood. This study aimed to report our experience in five consecutive cases of intrinsic brainstem lesions that were managed via an EEA, as well as the specific anatomy of each case. METHODS All patients were treated in a single center by a multidisciplinary surgical team between 2015 and 2019. Before surgery, a dedicated anatomical analysis of the brainstem safe entry zone was performed, and proper surgical planning was carried out. Neurophysiological monitoring was used in all cases. Anatomical dissections were performed in three human cadaveric heads using 0° and 30° endoscopes, and specific 3D reconstructions were executed using Amira 3D software. RESULTS All lesions were located at the level of the ventral brainstem. Specifically, one mesencephalic cavernoma, two pontine ca- vernomas, one pontine gliomas, and one medullary diffuse midline glioma were reported. Cerebrospinal fluid leak was the major complication that occurred in one case (medullary diffuse midline glioma). From an anatomical standpoint, three main safe entry zones were used, namely the anterior mesencephalic zone (AMZ), the peritrigeminal zone (PTZ, used in two cases), and the olivar zone (OZ). Reviewing the literature, 17 cases of various brainstem lesions treated using an EEA were found. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this was the first preliminary clinical series of intrinsic brainstem lesions treated via an EEA presented in the literature. The EEA can be considered a valid surgical alternative to traditional transcranial approaches to treat selected intra-axial brainstem lesions located at the level of the ventral brainstem. To achieve good results, surgery must involve comprehensive anatomical knowledge, meticulous preoperative surgical planning, and intraoperative neurophysiological moni- toring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Septoplasty is one of the most frequently performed surgeries. However, there remains a question as to the effect of such intervention on the sense of smell. This study aims to examine the available evidence regarding the effect of septoplasty on the sense of smell. METHODS A database search was performed using PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and The Cochrane Library databases from January 1990 to February 2020. Search terms included smell, olfaction, odor, septum, septoplasty, and septorhinoplasty. A meta-analysis was performed with 12 studies that provided sufficient data on change in olfaction. RESULTS 14 studies met the inclusion criteria, and 2 additional studies were included manually; comprising a total of 996 patients and 25 controls. Significant improvement in olfactory test scores was observed in all tests. Pre- and postoperative differences in means were 0.63 for BSIT, 0.80 for CCCRC test, 1.16 for odor threshold, 1.43 for odor discrimination, and 1.18 for odor identification. CONCLUSIONS Septoplasty seems to improve olfactory function. However, the outcome of this intervention is discrete and not equal for all patients, so further randomized trials are needed to confirm current findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Since the early stages of the novel coronavirus 2019 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, smell and/or taste dysfunction (STD) has been reported in 5% to 88% of COVID-19 patients. Objective: We aimed to assess STD in health care professionals (HCPs), mainly allergists, affected by COVID-19. We carried out a survey to evaluate the association between STD and its severity and demographic characteristics, symptoms, comorbidities, and hospital admission. METHODS We designed a 15-item questionnaire comprising various sections, as follows: demographics, diagnostic characteristics, STD patterns, medication use, and comorbidities. The questionnaire was developed using Google forms. It was distributed to members of the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (SEAIC) and sent via social media to be completed by HCPs with COVID-19. RESULTS The survey was completed by HCPs (n=234), of whom 76.5% were aged ≤55 years and 73.5% were female. STD was detected in 74.4% of respondents, of whom 95.6% reported moderate-severe impairment. Mean time until recovery of taste dysfunction was 21.6 (24.0) days in HCPs aged ≤55 years and 33.61±26.2 days in those aged >55 years (P=.019). Analysis stratified by severity of STD showed that more than a half of COVID-19 patients presented severe loss of smell. Older age (>55 years) was associated with fever, anorexia, lower frequency of headache, and longer persistence of taste dysfunction. CONCLUSION STD is a common symptom in COVID-19, even as a unique or preceding symptom. HCPs who reported smell dysfunction were younger than those not affected with STD. Taste dysfunction may imply more systemic involvement in COVID-19-positive HCPs.

Abstract
Background: Few odor tests have been developed for children. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a simple and quick olfactory test to evaluate odor identification and threshold in a Spanish pediatric population. Methods: The Pediatric Barcelona Olfactory Test-6 (pBOT-6) consisted of a set of 6 odorants for a forced choice identification test and a 6-dilution phenyl ethyl alcohol geometric series for the threshold test. The pBOT-6 was compared with the Universal Sniff test (a validated international pediatric smell test) in 131 healthy Spanish volunteers aged 6-17 years. A Bland-Altman plot was used to determine the agreement between the 2 tests. Reliability was analyzed in 15 volunteers using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Normative data were obtained, and 8 children diagnosed with subjective loss of smell were tested for validation. Results: The Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated a minimal bias of –1.71% with upper and lower limits of agreement of –31.1% and 27.6%, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.83 (95%CI, 0.6-0.96) for the identification test and 0.73 (95%CI, 0.36-0.9) for the threshold test, with excellent and good consistency between measurements over time. Mean pBOT-6 scores were significantly higher in healthy volunteers than in patients with loss of smell. Discrimination between normosmia and loss of smell was achieved with a sensitivity of 96.9% and a specificity of 100%. Conclusions: pBOT-6 offers an effective and fast method that is useful in clinical routine to distinguish, with high sensitivity and specificity, between pediatric patients with normosmia and those with loss of smell.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Craniofacial hyperhidrosis (CFH) and flushing express nervous system autonomic dysfunction. Available reference treatments lack good compliance. The study objective was to investigate variations of CFH/flushing after two methods of sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) blockade. METHODOLOGY CFH patients (n=25) were randomized in a ratio of 1:3 in two groups; 1) endoscopic application of topical lidocaine over SPG (TL; n=7); 2) endoscopic injection of lidocaine in the SPG (IL; n=18). CFH, flushing, rhinorrhoea, nasal obstruction, and smell detection were scored by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Nasal endoscopy, acoustic rhinometry, mucociliary transport test, smell/taste test, Schirmer test, Short Form-12, Chronic Skin Diseases Questionnaire, and Skin Satisfaction Questionnaire were also performed at visit 0, 1, 3 and 6 months. RESULTS At baseline, groups reported similar CFH VAS (TL: 89.3 plus or minus 17.5mm; IL: 85.7 plus or minus 22.1mm) or flushing VAS (TL: 52.7 plus or minus 30mm; IL: 59 plus or minus 33.8mm). After 6 months, the least squares mean of CFH VAS in IL was -38.1 (-47.3 to -28.9) compared to TL 1.9 (-12.2 to 15.9). However, flushing VAS did not improve. Any rhinological measure nor quality of life test showed significant changes. One patient presented controlled epistaxis intraoperatively during IL. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary study shows the sphenopalatine blockade injection as a safe procedure. Patients with CFH or flushing had significant improvement after lidocaine injection which lasted 6 months. Due to the small sample and the lack of objective measures more studies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Since the initial anecdotal reports of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from China, a growing number of studies have reported on smell and/or taste dysfunction (STD). Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the frequency and severity of STD in COVID-19 patients and to evaluate the association with demographic characteristics, hospital admission, symptoms, comorbidities, and blood biomarkers. METHODS We performed a multicenter cross-sectional study on patients who were positive for SARS-CoV-2 (n=846) and controls (n=143) from 15 Spanish hospitals. Data on STD were collected prospectively using an in-person survey. The severity of STD was categorized using a visual analog scale. We analyzed time to onset, recovery rate, time to recovery, hospital admission, pneumonia, comorbidities, smoking, and symptoms. RESULTS STD was at least 2-fold more common in COVID-19-positive patients than in controls. COVID-19-positive hospitalized patients were older, with a lower frequency of STD, and recovered earlier than outpatients. Analysis stratified by severity of STD showed that more than half of COVID-19 patients presented severe loss of smell (53.7%) or taste (52.2%); both senses were impaired in >90%. In the multivariate analysis, older age (>60 years), being hospitalized, and increased C-reactive protein were associated with a better sense of smell and/or taste. COVID-19-positive patients reported improvement in smell (45.6%) and taste (46.1%) at the time of the survey; in 90.6% this was within 2 weeks of infection. CONCLUSION STD is a common symptom in COVID-19 and presents mainly in young and nonhospitalized patients. More studies are needed to evaluate follow-up of chemosensory impairment.

Abstract
Airway examination procedures can potentially transmit infectious diseases to patients and to the health care professionals who perform them via various mechanisms. The COVID-19 pandemic has halted most of the activity of the clinics and laboratories involved in assessment of lung and nasal function, and clear recommendations in this regard have been made. Today, we still do not know for sure what its consequences will be in the short or long term, since important gaps remain in our knowledge of aspects as fundamental as virus transmission mechanisms, pathophysiology, immune response, and diagnosis. In this review, we study the examination techniques used to assess patients with respiratory allergy, asthma, and associated diseases during this period and highlight their possible advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, we focus on exploring the entire upper and lower airways, from the perspective of the safety of both health professionals and patients and their specific characteristics. We also analyze the intrinsic value of these interventions in terms of diagnosis and patient management. The changing situation of COVID-19 may mean that some of the assertions presented in this review will have to be modified in the future. While we seek to ensure a consistently broad approach, some differences in operational details may apply owing to local regulations.

Abstract
On March 11th 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 pandemic, with subsequent profound impact on the entire health care system. During the COVID-19 outbreak, activities in the rhinology outpatient clinic and operation rooms are limited to emergency care only. Health care practitioners are faced with the need to perform rhinological and skull base emergency procedures in patients with a positive or unknown COVID-19 status. This article aims to provide recommendations and relevant information for rhinologists, based on the limited amount of (anecdotal) data, to guarantee high-quality patient care and adequate levels of infection prevention in the rhinology clinic.

Abstract
The first cases of coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) occurred in Wuhan, China, and the disease rapidly become a public health emergency of international proportions. COVID-19 can cause mild-to-severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 include fever, dry cough, fatigue, sputum production, shortness of breath, sore throat, and headache. We performed this narrative review to analyze the current literature on postviral olfactory dysfunction related to the SARSCoV- 2 pandemic. Since the initial anecdotal reports from China, increasingly frequent international reports on COVID-19 indicate that 5% to 85% of affected patients lose their sense of smell, thus highlighting the very heterogeneous nature of the literature in this area. Therefore, we advise home isolation measures and/or social distancing, as well as tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 when possible, in patients with sudden and severe loss of smell who cannot be promptly evaluated.

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. The full document can be downloaded for free on the website of this journal: http://www.rhinologyjournal.com.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the main causes of smell loss. However, epidemiological studies evaluating the incidence in general population are scarce. The aim of this analysis is to investigate the prevalence of TBI-induced olfactory dysfunction (OD) in a general-based population study. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional population-based survey was distributed to general population (260,000 households) through the newspaper. The survey included four microencapsulated odorants (smell test) to assess smell loss and two self-administered questionnaires (odour description and epidemiology/health status). Participants were divided into two groups, with or without a history of TBI. RESULTS: From 10,783 returned surveys, 9,348 were analysed. The survey profile was a 43-year old woman with medium-high educational level, living in a city. The overall prevalence of TBI was 5% (N=464, 44.5±14.1 years old, 57% females). Recorded causes of TBI were traffic, domestic, or work accidents. Subjects with TBI reported a poorer subjective smell self-perception compared to non-TBI participants, and a decreases ability to identify mercaptan (odour added to gas used in cities). Although, using the smell test, both groups showed similar smell capacities. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects with TBI history report a higher frequency of self-perceived OD, and a decrease ability to smell the odour added to domestic gas. Having said that, the prevalence of OD, according to the smell test, was similar in both groups.

Abstract
Despite the high prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and its impact on patients' quality of life, no European patient organization that advocates for patients with CRS currently exists. To fill this gap and give a voice to CRS patients, EUFOREA has created a patient advisory board, whose goal is to better understand the real-life needs of patients, to raise awareness at political level and to involve patients in the development of novel integrated solutions to accelerate access to accurate diagnosis and treatments. This report summarizes the key discussion points from the kick-off meeting of the board on the 8th June 2018 and provides an outline of the key objectives for the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) significantly affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Few multinational observational studies have evaluated the impact of CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) on patients’ HRQoL. This study aimed to assess HRQoL outcomes (including analyses by disease severity and impact of comorbidities and refractory disease) in CRSwNP patients from a large European database. METHODOLOGY Data were analysed from the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GALEN) Rhinosinusitis Cohort, including sociodemographic data, patient-reported disease severity (visual analogue scale), and scores on the 36-Item ShortForm Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire. Differences in mean SF-36 scores were evaluated between patients with CRSwNP and population norms and between subgroups of interest (disease severity, comorbidity, and refractory disease, defined by a history of sinonasal surgery). RESULTS Patients with CRSwNP (N = 445) had significantly lower mean SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores vs population norms, demonstrating that CRSwNP negatively affects HRQoL. The presence of comorbidities affected HRQoL, as shown by significant differences in PCS scores in patients with asthma or non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease, compared with patients without asthma. Patients with moderate-to-severe disease had significantly lower PCS scores than patients with mild disease. Severe disease had a significant impact on MCS score. History of surgery had a clinically meaningful negative effect on HRQoL compared with no history of surgery. CONCLUSIONS CRSwNP patients have significantly lower HRQoL compared with population norms. The impact is greater in patients with greater disease severity, comorbidities, or refractory disease.

Abstract
The accurate diagnosis of rhinologic disease depends on the clinical history, examination findings and, in many cases, further investigations. There are a wide variety of diagnostic tests available, the choice of which depends upon the condition being assessed. This position paper is intended to provide an up-to-date comprehensive description of the diagnostic tools available to rhinologists, allergists, general otolaryngologists and other physicians with an interest in sinonasal disease. The literature has been reviewed and evidence-based recommendations are included. The relevant history and examination techniques are described, including endoscopic assessment of the nose. General and disease-specific quality of life instruments are an important tool in assessing the impact of rhinologic disease and the response to treatment. Relevant blood tests are discussed, as well as the various methods of allergy testing. Techniques for collecting microbiological and tissue samples are described, as well as the use of more specialised tests such as nasal nitric oxide and those evaluating ciliary structure and function. Imaging techniques and their indications are included. Chemosensory (smell and taste) testing is explained, and the available techniques for objective measurement of nasal airflow and patency are reviewed. Prompt and accurate diagnosis allows appropriate management to be initiated; an understanding of the currently available diagnostic tools is a vital part of the assessment of rhinologic disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nasal floor and inferior meatus (NFIM) flap represents an available option for the reconstruction of a septal perforation (SP). This study explores the feasibility of repairing SPs using a modified simple and extended (including inferior turbinate) NFIM flap. METHODS An anatomic study was achieved in fresh frozen cadaveric specimens to measure the area and lengths of NFIM flap. The repair of SP with simple and extended NIFM flaps was performed in some of these cadaveric specimens. Preoperative radiological evaluation of CT scans allowed studying the reconstruction limits of the simple or extended NFIM flap. A cohort of patients with SP who underwent reconstruction with an NFIM flap was also included. RESULTS Complete SP repair with NFIM was achieved in all specimens (n=10). In 38 fresh cadaveric specimens, coronal and sagittal lengths and area of simple NFIM flaps were smaller than in extended NFIM flaps. The radiological analysis of 75 CT scans revealed that the septal height could be reconstructed with a simple and extended NFIM flap. Complete SP repair wasachieved in 5 patients (4 male, mean age 57.4 years) using modified NFIM flaps. CONCLUSION The simple or expanded NFIM flap represents a feasible option to repair small or medium-sized perforations located at the lower 1/3 or 3/4 of the nasal septum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a highly prevalent disease worldwide. Although a number of studies have described AR, no studies compared children and adult AR populations. The objective was to compare the AR characteristics between two AR cohorts of children and adults. METHODS Two AR cohorts (children and adults) from Spain were studied through observational cross-sectional multicentre studies. AR was classified based on classical (allergen exposure), original (o-ARIA), and modified (m-ARIA) ARIA criteria. AR was evaluated by Total 4-Symptoms Score (T4SS), and disease severity by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS, 0-100 mm). AR comorbidities were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 5,405 patients (1,275 children, 4,130 adults) were studied. According to symptoms duration, intermittent AR was more frequent in children than in adults. Using o-ARIA severity, more children than adults had moderate/severe AR while, using m-ARIA, more children than adults had severe AR. T4SS was higher in adults than in children. Moreover, VAS was also higher in adults than in children. In addition, asthma atopic dermatitis and conjunctivitis were more associated to children than adults with AR, the frequency of this comorbidities increasing according to higher severity. CONCLUSIONS AR in children was more intermittent, severe, with less symptoms but with more comorbidities than in adults. These results suggest AR has similarities but also significant differences between children and adults.

Abstract
Nasal obstruction (NO) is defined as the subjective perception of discomfort or difficulty in the passage of air through the nostrils. It is a common reason for consultation in primary and specialized care and may affect up to 30%-40% of the population. It affects quality of life (especially sleep) and lowers work efficiency. The aim of this document is to agree on how to treat NO, establish a methodology for evaluating and diagnosing it, and define an individualized approach to its treatment. NO can be unilateral or bilateral, intermittent or persistent and may be caused by local or systemic factors, which may be anatomical, inflammatory, neurological, hormonal, functional, environmental, or pharmacological in origin. Directed study of the medical history and physical examination are key for diagnosing the specific cause. NO may be evaluated using subjective assessment tools (visual analog scale, symptom score, standardized questionnaires) or by objective estimation (active anterior rhinomanometry, acoustic rhinometry, peak nasal inspiratory flow). Although there is little correlation between the results, they may be considered complementary and not exclusive. Assessing the impact on quality of life through questionnaires standardized according to the underlying disease is also advisable. NO is treated according to its cause. Treatment is fundamentally pharmacological (topical and/or systemic) when the etiology is inflammatory or functional. Surgery may be necessary when medical treatment fails to complement or improve medical treatment or when other therapeutic approaches are not possible. Combinations of surgical techniques and medical treatment may be necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Down-regulation of the E-prostanoid (EP)2 receptor has been reported in aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). We aimed to evaluate the expression and activation of EP receptors in AERD and their role in prostaglandin (PG) E2 signalling. METHODS Samples were obtained from nasal mucosa of control subjects (NM-C, n=7) and from nasal polyps of AERD patients (NP-AERD, n=7). Expression of EP1-4 was assessed at baseline. Fibroblasts were stimulated with receptor agonists to measure cAMP levels, cell proliferation and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) release. RESULTS NM-C and NP-AERD samples and fibroblasts expressed EP2, EP3 and EP4 at baseline. Lower expression of EP2 and higher expression of EP4 was observed in NP-AERD compared with NM-C. Stimulation with PGE2 and butaprost caused a higher increase in cAMP in NM-C than in NP-AERD. On the contrary, CAY10598 produced a higher production of cAMP in NP-AERD compared with NM-C. The anti-proliferative effect of PGE2 and butaprost was lower in NP-AERD than in NM-C fibroblasts. Similarly, the capacity of PGE2 and butaprost to inhibit GM-CSF release was lower in NP-AERD than in NM-C. CONCLUSIONS The altered expression of EP2 in AERD may contribute to reduce the capacity of PGE2 to mediate anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the use of titanium prostheses in tympanoplasty for reconstruction of the sound pressure and to evaluate the audiometric results obtained. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING AND PATIENTS: Retrospective chart review in a tertiary referral center. Between September 1998 and October 2000, 23 titanium middle ear implants (23 TORP) were used for reconstruction of the ossicular chain after tympanomastoidectomy. Preliminary functional results were obtained in 23 cases. RESULTS: Average follow-up time was 18 months (range, 12-40) and no adverse reactions or extrusions occurred. Seven of 16 canal wall down tympanoplasties (43.7%), and 3 of 7 canal wall up tympanoplasties performed (42.9%) had a postoperative air-bone gap of between 0 and 10 dB. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary results show that titanium prosthesis provide a promising hearing result after total ossicular reconstruction, although long-term results are not yet available. The low weight of these prostheses may be the reason for the decrease in the air-bone gap.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A review of the main studies that have explored the use of the ventral pathway for treatment of intracranial aneurysms,including the recent reported extended transsphenoidal approaches. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was performed using the PubMed database. We recovered 48 cases of cerebral aneurysms, approached via the transcervical-transclival, transoral-transclival, transfacial-transclival ventral pathways and the extended transsphenoidal route. The overall rates of complications and surgical success were evaluated and compared for both traditional ventral and transsphenoidal approaches. RESULTS For traditional routes, the overall complications and surgical success rates were 74% (26/35) and 87% (13115), respectively.For extended transsphenoidal approaches were 44% (4/9) and 78% (7 /9), respectively. CONCLUSION Our paper is a reconnaissance of what has been done via "the anterior route" and a notification of the existence of this "surgical window': Present and future of cerebral aneurysm treatment is represented by the endovascular technique. A few selected cases in specialized centers, where transsphenoidal approaches with the aid of the endoscope are routinely performed,may be treated with such techniques alone or in combination with other different procedures. Further studies in large numbers of patients will be required to validate the full benefit of this approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal sensation of airflow describes the perception of the passage of air through the nose. Nasal obstruction can be assessed using subjective techniques (symptom scores and visual analogue scales [VAS]) and objective techniques (anterior rhinomanometry [RMN], acoustic rhinometry [AR], and peak nasal inspiratory flow [PNIF]). Few studies have evaluated the correlation between these techniques. OBJECTIVE The primary objective of our study was to determine the degree of correlation between subjective and objective techniques to assess nasal obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nasal obstruction was assessed using a symptom score, VAS, RMN, AR (minimal cross-sectional area [MCSA] and volume), and PNIF in 184 volunteer physicians. Spearman's rho was recorded. Correlations were considered weak if r ≤ 0.4, moderate if 0.4 < r < 0.8, and strong if r > 0.8. RESULTS Mean (SD) age was 37.1 (6.9) years (range, 25-56 years); 61% were women. We found a strong correlation (r > 0.8; p = 0.001) between the different parameters of RMN and a moderate correlation between symptom score and VAS (r = 0.686; p = 0.001) and between MCSA and RMN (resistance) (r = 0.496; p = 0.001) and PNIF (r = 0.459; p = 0.001). The correlations were weak or non-significant for the remaining comparisons. CONCLUSION Nasal obstruction can be assessed using subjective and objective approaches. The correlations between objective techniques were moderate to strong. In addition, between subjective techniques we reported a moderate correlation. Finally, the correlations between the subjective and objective techniques were weak and absent. These findings suggest that each of the techniques assesses different aspects of nasal obstruction, thus making them complementary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The introduction of the endoscope in transsphenoidal surgery has allowed access to lesions located in complex regions of the skull base under direct visual control. With the application of this technique, our group started treating pituitary tumours and from 2009 onwards began treating skull base lesions through extended endoscopic endonasal approaches. The AIM OF THE PRESENT STUDY is to report our experience with extended endoscopic approaches. Indications, results, limitations and complications of this new technique are also discussed. MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 2007 to January 2012, the endonasal approach was used in 40 patients with different cancerous lesions. RESULTS Total tumour removal, as assessed by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging, occurred in 30/ 40 patients (75%), but in 10 patients only partial removal was possible. Major complications, including cerebrospinal fluid leak, were observed in 5/40 patients (8%). One patient died 3 months after surgery due to a severe systemic sepsis. CONCLUSION The extended endoscopic endonasal approach could be used as a minimally invasive and innovative technique for the removal of selected skull base lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main causative process in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (iSSNHL) has yet to be explained or demonstrated. The clinical picture supports vascular involvement, but obvious limitations of inner ear study make this difficult to corroborate. OBJECTIVES To determine the role of thrombophilic genetic variants that may affect platelet function and to assess the cardiovascular risk profile in a cohort of patients with iSSNHL. PATIENTS AND METHODS 118 Caucasian patients with iSSNHL were recruited from the same geographical area and enrolled prospectively in this study. Clinical data were obtained for each patient. Polymorphisms of the platelet glycoprotein subunit IIIa gene, ITGB3 (PLA1/A2, rs5918), and of the platelet glycoprotein subunit Ia gene, ITGA2 (C807T, rs1126643) were analyzed. A control group of 161 age- and gender-matched healthy individuals from the same geographical area was recruited for genetic comparisons. In order to determine the cardiovascular risk profile of each patient and of our cohort, a cross-sectional assessment was performed by means of a calibrated Framingham coronary heart disease risk scale. Risk factor proportions were compared to those recommended in European guidelines for coronary prevention, which are also based on the Framingham function. RESULTS A significantly high prevalence of the 807T allele of platelet glycoprotein subunit Ia was found in patients compared to controls. There was a significant correlation between the 807TT homozygous genotype and a low probability of recovery. The PLA1/A2 polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein subunit IIIa was not associated with recovery, with a similar genotype prevalence being found in patients and controls. In terms of cardiovascular risk profile, patients did not present an excess of baseline coronary risk factors compared to the general population in the same geographical area. CONCLUSIONS Patients with iSSNHL had a higher prevalence of the 807T thrombophilic polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein Ia/IIa. Patients homozygous for this polymorphism are less likely to recover from iSSNHL. Classical cardiovascular risk factors were not related to iSSNHL.
