“…In our previous study, sinonasal questions were part of a larger survey and hence they were reduced to a minimum [1]. This is a frequent problem in large cross-sectional studies as they often aim to describe a wide variety of diseases [23,42].…”

“…Still, study results about the association between SHS and sinusitis are ambiguous. LIEU et al [23] reported no association between sinusitis and SHS exposure in a large sample (n520 050); instead they found an association between sinusitis and present tobacco consumption. The diagnosis of sinusitis was unsupported by clinical examinations in both this study and the one from EBBERT et al [22].…”

In this review, we demonstrate that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently report sinonasal symptoms. Furthermore, we present evidence that smoking on its own can cause nasal disease and that, in COPD patients, nasal inflammation mimics that of the bronchi. All this evidence suggests that COPD-related sinonasal disease does exist and that smoking on its own rather than systemic inflammation triggers the condition. However, COPD-related sinonasal disease remains to be characterised in terms of symptoms and endoscopic findings. In addition, more studies are needed to quantify the negative impact of sinonasal symptoms on the quality of life in COPD patients. @ERSpublications A systematic review of sinonasal inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

“…Any additional insult further damages the homeostasis of the system [6]. It is well documented that environmental irritants can provoke and prolong the signs and symptoms of CRS, including pollutants, occupational irritants and both active and passive exposure to tobacco smoke [7,8,9,10,11]. In 1994, the Surgeon General suggested that tobacco exposure contributes to CRS through ‘aggravation and prolongation of sinusitis' [12].…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the 10-year postoperative quality of life outcomes in smokers and nonsmokers with chronic rhinosinusitis. Study Design: This is a single-institution prospective cohort study. Methods: 235 patients who have previously been enrolled in a 4-year follow-up study were identified and contacted for a telephone interview. Rates of revision surgery, smoking status and 20-item sinonasal outcomes test (SNOT-20) scores were obtained. Preoperative SNOT-20 scores were compared with those obtained at the 10-year follow-up. Results: Of the patients enrolled in the initial 4-year study, 22.5% were available for a telephone interview, including 43 out of 185 nonsmokers (23.2%) and 9 out of 50 smokers (18%). Demographic data including age, sex and race were analyzed and found to be similar between the two groups. Preoperative SNOT-20 scores were similar between nonsmokers and smokers (28.9 vs. 25.8, p = 0.89). There was no significant difference in long-term SNOT-20 scores (10 years postoperatively) between nonsmokers and smokers (31.5 vs. 28.2, p = 0.629). Conclusions: While cigarette smoke may have long-term adverse effects on the sinonasal mucosa, we found no difference in quality of life outcomes between smokers and nonsmokers 10 years after functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
