The Rate and Predictors of Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis Recurrence Post-sinus Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract

ObjectivesChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is the persistent inflammation of the mucosal lining of the paranasal sinuses (PNS). By definition, the inflammatory process persists beyond 12 weeks. One of its subtypes is allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS), which has a high risk of recurrence, leading to revision surgery.
