The impact of medical therapy on cognitive dysfunction in chronic rhinosinusitis

Abstract: Background: Cognitive dysfunction in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is o en overlooked despite potentially broad implications. Earlier work has demonstrated decreased cognitive function in CRS patients at baseline. In this study we sought to prospectively evaluate the impact of initial, appropriate medical therapy on subjective and objective cognitive function, fatigue, and workplace productivity.

“…Additionally, CRS patients had worse simple reaction time scores compared to controls on computerized neurocognitive testing, a difference that persisted regardless of polyp status. Since this initial report, several studies have found improvements in patient‐reported and objective cognitive function after both medical and surgical treatment of CRS 75–77 …”

“…The current review encompassed 4 studies utilizing the FSS in patients with CRS, with a mean of 4.2, suggesting problematic fatigue for this subgroup. Taken together, these subjective parameters are suggestive of poor sleep; however, it is also possible that other disease factors, such as the patient's heightened inflammatory state, 33 sinonasal‐specific symptoms, or altered cognition, 2,43 may be responsible for changes in sleep‐related PROMs, independent of one's actual sleep quality. Evidently, the mechanisms in which these diseases may lead to sleep dysfunction are complex and likely multifactorial.…”

“…A prospective study in the US reported that appropriate medical therapy improved several measures of cognitive dysfunction in patients with CRS. [ 25 ] In addition, in a multicenter study, patients with CRS with nasal polyps reported significant improvements in cognitive scores after endoscopic sinus surgery. [ 26 ] The declines in inflammation and cytokines following medical treatment or surgery may be 1 factor driving improvements in cognition.…”
