Environmental Exposures, Chronic Sinusitis, and Olfaction in People With Cystic Fibrosis
ABSTRACT Background Environmental air pollutants may contribute to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but their relationship with upper airway disease in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) remains poorly understood. This study evaluated associations between long‐term ambient air pollutant exposure and CRS severity and olfactory dysfunction in adults with CF ...

ABSTRACT Background The Completeness of Surgery Index (CoSI) is a novel metric for assessing surgical quality in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Structured histopathology (SHP) is helpful for characterizing drivers of inflammation. Integrating these two tools to identify patients at higher risk for surgically recalcitrant disease has
