The Development of Dry Eye Disease After Surgery-Indicated Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: We aim to evaluate the risk of dry eye disease (DED) occurrence in patients with surgery-indicated chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) via the national health insurance research database in Taiwan. After exclusion, patients with a diagnostic code of CRS and had received functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were regarded as having surgery-indicated CRS and enrolled in the study group, then each patient in the study group was age- and gender-matched to four non-CRS patients that served as the control group. The outcome was considered as the development of DED and Cox proportional hazard regression was used for the statistical analysis, which involved multiple potential risk factors of DED. A total of 6076 patients with surgery-indicated CRS that received FESS and another 24,304 non-CRS individuals were enrolled after exclusion. There were 317 and 770 DED events in the study group and the control group during the 16-year follow-up interval, and the study group demonstrated a significantly higher adjusted hazard ratio (1490, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.303-1.702) of DED development compared to the control group in the multivariable analysis. In addition, the cumulative probability analysis illustrated a positive correlation of DED occurrence and the disease period of surgery-indicated CRS (p < 0.0001). In the subgroup analysis, both genders revealed a higher but not significant incidence of developing DED in the study group. In conclusion, the existence of surgery-indicated CRS will increase the risk of developing DED, which correlated to the disease interval.

Project description:IntroductionChronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial naso-sinusal inflammatory disease that affects 2-4% of the adult population. It highly affects the patient quality of life (QoL) in many levels making it a public health issue. The management of CRSwNP is based on a detailed clinical history, a complete endoscopic examination and a precise computed tomographic (CT) analysis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and severity of the various CRS clinical manifestations as well as to highlight the potential relationship between symptom scores, asthma and ESS outcomes.Patients and methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed in the 20 August hospital, between January 2017 and December 2018, on patients diagnosed with CRS according to guidelines recommendations, and were beforehand refractory to initial medical therapy and elected to FESS. The patients were divided into two groups, the first group (G1) of patients with asthma and the second (G2) without asthma in order to expose an eventual significant difference in the improvement of symptoms after surgery. The Sino Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) was used to evaluate QOL.ResultsA total of 100 patients participated in the study with an average age of 44.53 years. The sex ratio was 1.04 (51% men). Asthma was present in 48% of patients while 20% of patients were intolerant to aspirin with a significant difference between the asthmatic and non-asthmatic group (p < 0.05). It appears that asthma was not objectively correlated with a higher Lund Mackay radiological score (p > 0.05). A higher significant improvement was observed between preoperative and postoperative SNOT-22 scores in group with asthma [42.7 ± 16.3 versus 11.8 ± 9.1] and in group without asthma [38.3 ± 15.1 versus 10.5 ± 14.2].ConclusionAsthma in CRS is an additional symptom in these patients, mainly reflected in the subset of nasal symptoms in SNOT-22. However, it did not significantly affect the quality of life of the CRSwNP population.
