Variability of the Microbiota in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by a persistent inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa that could be potentially linked to a dysregulation between the microbiota and the immune system. We aim to explore general, methodological, and microbiological aspects of microbiota research in CRS compared to disease-free individuals.

Data sources

Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Review methods

All studies comparing the composition of the resident microbiota of the sinonasal cavities in 2 groups: CRS and normal participants. We conducted systematic study selection, data extraction, and analysis first using the title and abstract, and then the full texts based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Compiled and
