Published: November 2023

Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease with a variety of cellular and molecular pathophysiologic mechanisms. Biomarkers have been explored in CRS using various phenotypes, such as polyp recurrence after surgery. Recently, the presence of regiotype in CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and the introduction of biologics for the treatment of CRSwNP has indicated the importance of endotypes, and there is a need to elucidate endotype-based biomarkers.

Areas Covered: Biomarkers for eosinophilic CRS, nasal polyps, disease severity, and polyp recurrence have been identified. Additionally, endotypes are being identified for CRSwNP and CRS without nasal polyps using cluster analysis, an unsupervised learning technique.

Expert Opinion: Endotypes in CRS have still being established, and biomarkers capable of identifying endotypes of CRS are not yet clear. When identifying endotype-based biomarkers, it is necessary to first identify endotypes clarified by cluster analysis for outcomes. With the application of machine learning, the idea of predicting outcomes using a combination of multiple integrated biomarkers, rather than a single biomarker, will become mainstream.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common chronic respiratory disease that can lead to the development of various other conditions. Although genetic risk loci associated with AR have been reported, the connections between these loci and AR comorbidities or other diseases remain unclear.

Methods: This study conducted a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) using known AR risk loci to explore the impact of known AR risk variants on a broad spectrum of phenotypes.

Patient preferences for treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Choosing between revision endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) versus biologic therapy for recurrent chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a complex, multifaceted decision that involves not only clinical and financial factors but also patient preferences. Currently, there are no quantitative studies investigating patient preferences for CRSwNP treatment options. Increased awareness of patient-centered approaches to treatment warrant further investigation.

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is often severe, debilitating and difficult to treat. Recent randomised control trials (RCTs) of biologics that target key inflammatory pathways have demonstrated clinical efficacy in treating CRSwNP. Such RCTs must facilitate meta-analysis.

 There are no clear guidelines for deciding between endoscopic sinus surgery and tooth extraction for the treatment of odontogenic sinusitis. Furthermore, tooth extraction does not necessarily improve sinusitis and eventually results in additional endoscopic sinus surgery.  The present study aimed to retrospectively investigate negative predictive factors of tooth extraction for odontogenic sinusitis.

Objective: Inflammatory processes play a role in the etiopathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis. Many gene polymorphisms have been associated with inflammation. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism and chronic rhinosinusitis.
