Methods: Most common search terms were identified via Google Trends. People Also Ask (PAA) questions were identified and extracted with their associated website using an online data-scraping program [Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Minion, Keywords Everywhere]. Sources were evaluated using Flesch Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) and Flesch Reading Ease (FRE, higher number = better) score for readability; Journal of American Medical Association ( JAMA) Benchmark criteria for quality assessment (0-4, 4 = all criteria met). Results: A total of 143 unique PAA questions and unique websites were identified. Questions were organized into 3 categories: questions about biologic therapies overall (38.46%), about CRSwNP (37.76%), and about treatment options for CRSwNP (23.78%). Websites answering PAA questions were from commercial (60.14%), medical practice (13.99%), academic (13.29%), and government (12.59%) sources. FKGL scores found the average reading level to be at approximately a 12th grade level (SD = 3.297) alongside a low reading ease FRE score of 37.6 (SD = 16.77). Mean JAMA criteria scores were 0.9895 (SD = 0.848), indicating largely low-quality materials. Conclusion: Biologic therapies are a novel treatment option for CRSwNP, and participants are seeking more information about these treatments and disease state. Online resources regarding biologics should be presented at a lower reading level. Sources with evidence-based information are needed. Physicians should be aware of these limitations in online material and counsel accordingly by curating and directing patients to good sources.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Level of Evidence: Step 4<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01455613241264428","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]],"date-time":"2024-06-24T06:03:30Z","timestamp":1719209010000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["What Questions Do Patients Ask About Biologic Therapies for Chronic Sinusitis With Nasal Polyps?"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1873-098X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel E.","family":"Razmi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lexi","family":"Goehring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University School of Medicine, College Station, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aatin K.","family":"Dhanda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason","family":"Shenoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5507-2916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Faizaan","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keyvon","family":"Rashidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Gorelik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"IV","given":"Kenneth R.","family":"Sims","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meha G.","family":"Fox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9790-3529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masayoshi","family":"Takashima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Omar G.","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4168\/aair.2022.14.5.465"},{"key":"bibr2-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17030880"},{"key":"bibr3-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4066\/AMJ.2014.1900"},{"key":"bibr4-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.101.6.e2"},{"key":"bibr5-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pec.2016.08.028"},{"key":"bibr6-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2009.08.004"},{"key":"bibr7-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjoto.2012.08.001"},{"key":"bibr8-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215121001559"},{"key":"bibr9-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.22518"},{"key":"bibr10-01455613241264428","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0109583"},{"key":"bibr11-01455613241264428","unstructured":"Nayak P.
