Role of Peripheral Eosinophil Counts in Predicting Subclinical Lung Dysfunction in Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Their Correlation with Coagulation Markers

1

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects 11-14% of the global population and is linked to subclinical pulmonary impairment in 30-50% of patients.
2

Subclinical pulmonary impairment in CRS can lead to serious respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD, often going undetected due to asymptomatic early changes.
3

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between peripheral eosinophil counts and subclinical lung dysfunction in non-asthmatic CRS patients.
4

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 450 CRS patients, comparing their eosinophil levels and coagulation markers to a control group of healthy individuals.
5

Identifying eosinophil counts as potential biomarkers could facilitate early intervention to prevent progressive lung disease in CRS patients.
