The Association Between Allergic Rhinitis, Eosinophilic Inflammation, and Postoperative Recurrence in Nasal Polyps.

Key Points

• To explore the connection between allergic rhinitis and the recurrence of nasal polyps post-surgery.
• Identified a subgroup of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) characterized by eosinophilia.
• Examined the relationship between comorbid allergic rhinitis and surgery outcomes.
• Comorbid allergic rhinitis predicted an earlier relapse of nasal polyps.
• Patients experienced shorter recurrence-free survival due to increased eosinophilic inflammation.
