However, the role of CoNS in CRS remains controversial. We aimed to determine the association between positive CoNS culture at functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and CRS severity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adult CRS patients who underwent FESS between October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2011 were recruited. Patient demographics, disease characteristics, medication use, Lund\u2010Mackay computed tomography (CT) scores, and 22\u2010item Sino\u2010Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT\u201022) scores were collected at baseline before FESS. Intraoperative cultures were obtained in a standard manner. Patients were placed into 2 groups based on culture findings: patients with CoNS as the sole positive culture result and patients with all other positive culture results, including CoNS, as part of a polymicrobial culture.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 376 CRS patients met the criteria; 106 patients (28%) had CoNS as their only isolate, 260 (69%) had other positive cultures, and 10 (3%) had no bacterial growth. Compared to patients with other positive cultures, patients with the sole result of CoNS were significantly less likely to have a history of FESS (52% vs 65%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.019), nasal polyps (50% vs 65%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.006), and had a better Lund\u2010Mackay CT score (11.95 vs 14.18, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.020). After adjusting for all factors in the multiple logistic regression model, CoNS as the sole positive culture result was independently associated with having no history of FESS (odds ratio [OR] = 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.22 to 0.94; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.034).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Positive intraoperative CoNS cultures alone do not result in increased CRS disease burden by objective or subjective measures as compared to patients with other bacterial or polymicrobial culture isolates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.21439","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,3]],"date-time":"2014-11-03T14:02:39Z","timestamp":1415023359000},"page":"204-213","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Coagulase\u2010negative <i>Staphylococcus<\/i> culture in chronic rhinosinusitis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Zi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nithin D.","family":"Adappa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ebbing","family":"Lautenbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia PA"},{"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases Department of Medicine University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander G.","family":"Chiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery University of Arizona  Tucson AZ"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurel J.","family":"Doghramji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noam A.","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia PA"},{"name":"Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center  Philadelphia PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James N.","family":"Palmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine  Philadelphia PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Summary health statistics for U.S. children: National Health Interview Survey, 2008","author":"Bloom B","year":"2009","journal-title":"Vital Health Stat 10"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajr.2007.21.3047"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/320184"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/194589240301700103"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/IAI.73.5.3188-3191.2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MOO.0b013e328344f67a"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2007.06.726"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","first-page":"97","article-title":"European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps Group.
