We sought to elucidate the relationship among these entities.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">The study population included 106 consecutive patients who were referred to a multidisciplinary, university-based allergy and sinus clinic that underwent computed tomography (CT) scan, skin-prick testing, and had CRS. Data were analyzed to determine Lund-MacKay score (LMS), presence of NPs, asthma status, and sensitivity to seven classes of aeroallergens.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Skin tests were positive in 52 cases and negative in 54 cases. Although, there was no statistical relationship between LMS and atopic status in the entire group, among the asthmatic subgroup, mean LMS was greater in nonatopic asthmatic patients than in atopic asthmatic patients. Asthmatic patients had a higher LMS than nonasthmatic patients (p &lt; 0.0001). Asthmatic patients were more likely than nonasthmatic patients to have NPs (57.6% versus 25%; p = 0.0015), regardless of atopic status. Mean LMS was higher in NP patients compared with nonpolyp patients (p &lt; 0.0001), independent of atopic status. Mean LMS was not affected by sensitivity to any particular allergen, with the exception of cockroach-allergic patients who were more likely to have an LMS of &gt;10 (p = 0.0236) and had more severe maxillary sinus involvement (p = 0.0391).<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">These data indicate a strong relationship between CRS severity, as measured by LMS, and chronic airway inflammatory diseases, asthma, and NPs. The association between LMS and atopic status appears weak. The present study suggests that CRS is an inflammatory disease that occurs independently of systemic IgE-mediated pathways.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2009.23.3284","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,10]],"date-time":"2010-02-10T20:34:00Z","timestamp":1265834040000},"page":"145-148","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":203,"title":["Relationships between Severity of Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyposis, Asthma, and Atopy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Aaron N.","family":"Pearlman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rakesh K.","family":"Chandra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dennis","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Loma Linda University Sinus and Allergy Center, Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Loma Linda University Medical Center, Loma Linda, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David B.","family":"Conley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anju","family":"Tripathi-Peters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Division of Allergy and Immunology, Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leslie C.","family":"Grammer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Division of Allergy and Immunology, Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert T.","family":"Schleimer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Division of Allergy and Immunology, Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert C.","family":"Kern","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","first-page":"19","article-title":"Summary health statistics for U.S. adults: National Health Interview Survey, 2004.
