Association of long-term air pollution and allergen exposure with endotype shift in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

Reposted by Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology Editor-in-Chief

Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology @annalsacaai.bsky.social · Sep 9

Decreasing long-term air pollution exposure and increasing allergen sensitization are associated with higher type 2/non-type 2 CRSwNP ratio, highlighting the role of environmental factors in endotype shifting. www.annallergy.org/article/S108...

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) is classified into type 2 and non-type 2 inflammation based on mucosal cytokine level. For 20 years, the type 2/non-type 2 ratio has increased, potenti...

Factors associated with the development of severe asthma

Reposted by Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology Editor-in-Chief

Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology @annalsacaai.bsky.social · Aug 14

Although patients with severe asthma make up a fraction of the patients with asthma, severe asthma treatment contributes a high proportion to the total economic burden. Understanding patient characteristics and factors underlying severe asthma is a key priority. www.annallergy.org/article/S108...

Severe asthma presents a major challenge to health care and negatively affects the quality of life of patients. Understanding the factors predicting the development of severe asthma is limited.
