The aim of this study was to evaluate prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) in Russian Federation. Additionally, we investigated the clinical course of CRS and developed the optimal therapeutic strategy.Methods. Three hundred and forty eight CF patients were involved in the study. Physical examination, computed tomography (CT) of paranasal sinuses and audiometry, if needed, were used. CRS and bilateral nasal polyps were diagnosed in 28 patients. Nasal endoscopy, SNOT-20 questionnaire, rhinomanometry, micro - biological examination of sputum and mucus from paranasal sinuses (obtained during puncture or surgery), spirometry, and measurement of serum markers of inflammation were used. Endoscopic sinus surgery was used in 14 patients (the group 1) and others were treated non-surgically (the group 2). Both group were treated during 6 months using intranasal mometasone, mucolytics and antibiotics via PARI SINUSTM nebulizer.Results. An improvement in symptoms, CT signs, rhinomanometry parameters and endoscopic signs was seen in both groups after treatment and was more prominent in the surgical treatment group compared to the non-surgical treatment group. Bacterial load reduction in nasal sinuses, decrease in the rate of pulmonary disease exacerbations, and an improvement in oxygen blood saturation were found in the surgical treatment group only. Treatment of CRS did not affect lung function, sputum microbiology and serum inflammatory markers.Conclusion. Endoscopic sinus surgery followed by intranasal mucolytics and antibacterials is an effective and well-tolerated treatment in adult CF patients with CRS.

Office Setting

Objective: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is nearly ubiquitous in the cystic fibrosis (CF) population, and many patients require multiple endoscopic sinus surgeries throughout their lifetime. Recent studies have demonstrated the profound pulmonary and systemic health benefits of comprehensive CRS treatment. Both endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilation and inpatient hospital care represent significant risks for CF patients. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of performing revision endoscopic sinus surgery for CF patients in the outpatient office setting using only local anesthesia to decrease the need for mechanical ventilation and inpatient hospitalization. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary care academic medical center with a CF Foundation-accredited care center. Patients with CF and refractory CRS despite prior surgery and medical therapy were eligible for inclusion. Comprehensive revision ESS was performed in the office using only local anesthesia. Results: Five patients were enrolled and underwent revision endoscopic sinus surgery without complication. The average preoperative Sinonasal-Outcome Test-22 score was 52.0 ± 12.1 and the average preoperative Lund-Mackay score was 15.2 ± 3.8. No patients requested aborting the procedure early due to pain, discomfort, or any other reason. No subjects required prolonged observation or postoperative hospital admission. Conclusion: This prospective pilot study is the first to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of performing comprehensive revision endoscopic sinus surgery for CF patients in the outpatient office setting using only local anesthesia.

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic nasal polyps in Filipino patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery. Methods: Design: Retrospective Chart Review Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital Participants: A consecutive sample of adult patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis at the Rizal Medical Center from 2015-2019. Results: Out of 66 patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery during the study period, 36 (54.55%) had an eosinophilic endotype while 30 (45.45%) had a non-eosinophilic endotype. Conclusion: he slight predominance of eosinophilic nasal polyps found in our sample may suggest a contrasting trend compared to our Asian neighbors, who have a predominantly non[1]eosinophilic endotype – Indonesia (90.47%), Thailand (81.9%), South Korea (66.7%) and China (53.6%). However, this predominance is still lower than the 78-88% eosinophilia reported among Caucasians. Larger series may confirm these preliminary findings
