Determining the Severity of Symptoms Among Patients with Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis Versus Non - Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center

Objective: To compare the severity of symptoms of patients diagnosed with Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis (eCRSwNP) versus Non - Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis (non-eCRSwNP) using the Filipino Sinonasal Outcome Test (Filipino SNOT 22) and determin...

description Objective: To compare the severity of symptoms of patients diagnosed with Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis (eCRSwNP) versus Non - Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis (non-eCRSwNP) using the Filipino Sinonasal Outcome Test (Filipino SNOT 22) and determine the most common symptoms experienced by patients with eCRSwNP versus non-eCRSwNP. Methods: Design: Cross-Sectional Study Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital Participants: A total of 68 patients diagnosed with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis (CRSwNP) from November 7, 2018 to August 31, 2022 were included in the study. Results: Of the 68 patients included in the study, 33 (48.5%) had non-eCRSwNP while 35 (51.5%) had eCRSwNP. The age of the patients with non-eCRSwNP group was 50.6 + 18.45 and those with eCRSwNP was 52.9 + 16.6 years old. Non-eCRSwNP patients had a lower mean Filipino SNOT 22 score of 39.7 ± 16.1 compared with eCRSwNP with a score of 62.7± 13.5. The non-eCRSwNP patients had symptom severity classified as mild in 2 (6.1%), moderate in 25 (75.8%) and severe in 6 (18.2%) based on Filipino SNOT-22. Among the eCRSwNP group, majority of the patients, 29 (82.9%) were classified as severe, 6 (17.1%) as moderate, and none with mild severity. Using the Filipino SNOT 22, the most common symptoms of patients with eCRSwNP were item 2 (baradong ilong; nasal blockage) at 28.6%, then item 7 (malapot na sipon; thick nasal discharge) at 25.7%, Item 8 (pagbabara ng tenga; ear fullness) and item 12 (pagkawala/ pagkabawas ng panlasa/ pang amoy; decreased sense of smell/taste) were tied at 14.3%, item 13 (hirap sa pagtulog; difficulty falling asleep) at 25.7%, and item 17 (pagkapagod; fatigue during the day) at 31.4% while patients with no-eCRSwNP were noted with item 2 (baradong ilong; nasal blockage) at 48.5%, followed by item 4 (hindi tumitigil na pagtulo ng sipon; runny nose) at 21.2%, item 11 (pananakit ng mukha; facial pain) at 33.3%, Item 7 (malapot na sipon; thick nasal discharge) at 18.2%, and item 20 (pagiging irritable/pagkainis; irritability) at 21.2%. Conclusion: Our present study suggests that the higher the SNOT 22 score, the more likely it is to be eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis. Although nasal blockage was the most common symptom found in both patients with eCRSwNP and non-eCRSwNP, patients with thick nasal discharge, decreased sense of smell/taste and ear fullness were more likely to be suffering from eCRSwNP, while patients with runny nose, facial pain and thick nasal discharge were more likely to have non-eCRSwNP.
