Type 2 biomarkers in olfactory cleft mucus correlate with SNOT-22 in chronic rhinosinusitis independent of nasal polyp status.

Division of Rhinology and Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA.

Background: Quantitative mucus cytokine analysis to examine the sinonasal microenvironment may bridge the gap between patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and empirical measures of inflammation in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).

Objective: Investigate the correlation between mucus cytokine levels and Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores, including individual subdomains.

Methods: Patients with CRS were prospectively recruited between 2016 and 2021 into a multi-institutional observational study.

Introduction: Olfactory dysfunction is a prevalent condition associated with post-viral syndromes, chronic rhinosinusitis, and neurodegenerative diseases. While olfactory cleft sampling has been investigated in neurology, its potential for assessing localized biomarkers in rhinological conditions remains underexplored. This study presents a minimally invasive nasal brushing technique specifically targeting the olfactory cleft, enabling simultaneous biomarker quantification and cytological analysis.
