Olfaction in nasal polyp patients after Reboot surgery: an endotype-based prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report biomarkers present in the olfactory mucosa in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in comparison with nasal polyps and to nasal mucosal tissues from control patients. To evaluate the kinetics of smell over 6 months in patients who underwent Reboot surgery.

Methods

Cohort study from May 2021 to May 2022. We collected samples of olfactory mucosa and nasal polyps from 16 CRSwNP patients and inferior turbinate samples from 20 control subjects. The study was not randomized for surgical and/or medical treatment. Samples were analyzed by Luminex and Unicap 100 to measure biomarkers of inflammation (IL1-β, IL4, IL5, IL6, IL17, CCL3, CCL4, G-CSF, SE-IgE, total IgE and ECP). 12 of the CRSwNP patients underwent Extended Sniffin'tests at timepoints 1-4 day
