The Effect of Co-Morbid Sjogren Syndrome Diagnosis on the Clinical Phenotype of Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Key Points

Heightened symptom burden in chronic rhinosinusitis is evident, reflecting the unique influence of Sjogren syndrome.
Cytokine profile analysis shows a distinct neuroinflammatory pattern associated with Sjogren syndrome.
Multidisciplinary care approaches are essential for addressing the atypical clinical presentations in this population.
Findings highlight a clear disparity between symptom reports and conventional clinical metrics.

Abstract

SS appears to confer a distinct CRS phenotype marked by heightened symptom burden not reflected by conventional disease metrics. This discrepancy may reflect neuroinflammatory amplification driven by SS's T1/T3 cytokine profile. These findings highlight the need for symptom-focused, multidisciplinary care in this population.
