PROGNOSTIC FACTORS FOR REFRACTORY CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS IN PATIENTS CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS CONCOMITANT ASTHMA : AN EVIDENCE BASED CASE REPORT

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients concomitant with asthma, more severe sinus disease has been reported and recurrence rate remains significant after optimal management. In this review, patients with CRS concomitant with asthma which had optimal management will be analyzed. Did several factors e.g. mucosal eosinophilia, high eosinophil count, high Lund MacKay score, severity of asthma, peripheral blood count and type of surgery, affect the recurrence of rhinosinusitis? Purpose: To investigate prognostic factors for the recurrence or refractory in CRS patients concomitant with asthma. Case Report: Female, 31 years old, suffered CRS with nasal polyp concomitant with asthma. She had recurrence of her sinus disease although she had already received optimal management. Methods: Using Medline, Cochrane database and Hand searching to search for the evidence. The evidence selected was appraised by at least two members of our group using Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine (CEBM) worksheet. Result: Two valid prognostic articles were appraised for the validity, importance and applicability in our clinical scenario. Conclusion: In this evidence-based case report, the type of surgery could affect the olfactory function and endoscopic postoperative score in CRS patients concomitant with asthma. It was found that Extensive Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (EESS) contributed as a prognostic factor to improve olfactory Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score and endoscopic postoperative score.
