Key clinical point: Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) were more likely to develop atopic dermatitis (AD), particularly young (<45 years) and middle-aged (45-64 years) patients.
Major finding: The risk of developing AD was significantly higher in patients with vs. without CRS (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.1952; 95% CI 1.1009-1.2976), especially among young (aHR 1.1491; 95% CI 1.0386-1.2713) and middle-aged (aHR 1.2944; 95% CI 1.1044-1.5171) patients.
Study details: This was a longitudinal cohort study that included 16,668 patients with CRS and 33,336 sociodemographically matched control individuals without CRS who were followed-up for 11 years.
