Background: In this study we assessed patient outcomes after complete endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and aspirin desensitization for patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD).
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients with aspirin challenge-proven AERD who underwent complete ESS followed by aspirin desensitization. Outcomes assessed included need for revision surgery and quality-of-life measures using the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-22). Data were collected preoperatively, postoperatively prior to desensitization, and then at intervals post-desensitization through 30 months after aspirin desensitization. A longitudinal linear mixed-effects model was used for data analysis.
Results: Thirty-four patients met the inclusion criteria for this study. Thirty-two patients successfully completed aspirin desensitization and were subsequently followed for 30 months after desensitization. Two patients were unable to complete desensitization. Five patients discontinued aspirin maintenance therapy due to gastrointestinal and respiratory side effects. Within the follow-up period, there were only 3 (9.4%) revision sinus surgeries. Notably, 1 of these revision cases occurred in a patient who had discontinued aspirin maintenance therapy. After surgical treatment and prior to desensitization patients had significant reductions in SNOT-22 scores. Our results demonstrate that total SNOT-22 scores remained statistically unchanged from immediate post-desensitization throughout the 30-month follow-up period.
Conclusion: Complete sinus surgery followed by timely aspirin desensitization and maintenance therapy is an effective combination in the long-term management of sinus disease in patients with AERD.

Background: NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) is a hypersensitivity to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or ibuprofen, accompanied by chronic rhinosinusitis (with or without nasal polyps) or asthma. The prevalence of hypersensitivity to NSAIDs is estimated to be 2%. The first line of treatment is the avoidance of NSAIDs.

Purpose Of Review: This review provides the current understanding on the mechanism, diagnosis, and treatment of aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
Recent Findings: Updates focus on the current understanding of type 2 inflammation as a disease driver, alterations in gene expression in nasal polyps, and use of biologics in treating aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease. Recent findings include altered expression of GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3), interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-17 in nasal polyps supports the current understanding that type 2 inflammation predominantly drives the pathophysiology of AERD with CRS.

Article Synopsis
- - Racial disparities affect the age at which individuals complete aspirin desensitization and receive a diagnosis for ASA-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD).
- - Having public insurance is linked to receiving an official AERD diagnosis after the age of 50.
- - Social factors, such as race and insurance status, play a significant role in AERD diagnosis and the ability to adhere to aspirin desensitization protocols.

Aspirin is used in patients with coronary artery disease essential in both acute and chronic phases of treatment, especially post-catheterization and post-coronary artery stent placement. Some patients have sensitivity to aspirin. Hypersensitivity reaction symptoms include itchy and watery eyes, itchy rash, worsening asthma, wheezing to fatal angioedema, and anaphylaxis.

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) represents a cornerstone of antiplatelet therapy for the treatment of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). ASA is in fact indicated in case of an acute coronary syndrome or after a percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation. Aspirin hypersensitivity is frequently reported by patients, and this challenging situation requires a careful evaluation of the true nature of the presumed sensitivity and of its mechanisms, as well as to differentiate it from a more frequent (and more easily manageable) aspirin intolerance.
