However, few to no studies have evaluated patients for CRS using objective testing and workup protocols that fulfill guidelines for CRS diagnostic criteria. Furthermore, no study, to our knowledge, has investigated the risks of CRS in the context of residential exposure through proximity to a commercial pesticide application site.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi230034-5\"><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>To evaluate associations of residential proximity to a commercial pesticide application site and the prevalence of CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps (CRSwoNP).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi230034-6\"><jats:title>Design, Setting, and Participants<\/jats:title><jats:p>This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who presented to a tertiary care institution for rhinology evaluation between March 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi230034-7\"><jats:title>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title><jats:p>The outcome variable was the clinical diagnosis of CRS (CRSwNP, CRSwoNP, or non-CRS control). Patients\u2019 residential addresses were utilized to determine pesticide exposure status based on a validated computational geographic information algorithm based on data from the California Pesticide Use Report System. The dichotomous independent variable of exposure status (exposed or non-exposed) was determined by assessing reports of any pesticide applications within 2000 m of each participant\u2019s residence in 2017. Multivariable logistic regressions assessing CRS status and CRS subtypes were conducted with pesticide exposure as the primary covariate of interest. The primary study outcome and measurements as well as study hypothesis were all formulated before data collection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi230034-8\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among a total of 310 patients (90 CRSwNP, 90 CRSwoNP, and 130 control), the mean (SD) age was 50 (17) years; 164 (53%) were female. Race and ethnicity information was not considered. Controlling for patient demographic information, smoking history, county of residence, and medical comorbidities, pesticide exposure was associated with an approximately 2.5-fold increase in odds of CRS (adjusted odds ratio, 2.41; 95% CI, 1.49-3.90). Pesticide exposure was associated with similar risks for CRSwNP (adjusted relative risk ratio [aRRR], 2.34; 95% CI, 1.31-4.18) and CRSwoNP (aRRR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.37-4.30).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi230034-9\"><jats:title>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings of this retrospective cohort study and analysis revealed that residential exposure to commercial pesticide application within a 2000-m buffer was independently associated with an approximately 2.5-fold increase in odds of being diagnosed with CRS. If validated by additional research, this association would have substantial implications for public health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaoto.2023.1499","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,13]],"date-time":"2023-07-13T15:01:28Z","timestamp":1689260488000},"page":"773","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Residential
