BACKGROUND
Prevalence of passive smoke exposure is relatively unknown in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Previous studies have attempted to establish this relationship using subjective, questionnaire-based methodologies to assess smoke exposure, thus introducing the potential for error bias. The
OBJECTIVE
To generate estimates of sinusitis prevalence for adults in association with the use of tobacco or passive smoke exposure.
METHODS
Analysis of data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-1994.
METHODS
Sample of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of
BACKGROUND
Epidemiological evidence evaluating the association between secondhand smoke exposure and diseases of the upper airway in adults is limited by a small number of studies and a lack of established protocols. This study was designed to optimize a research protocol on secondhand tobacco smoke
Health concerns around cannabis (marijuana) use have focused on the possible relationship with psychosis and lower airway health, however; the effect of cannabis smoking on upper airway health has received less attention. The aim of this study is to investigate difference between BACKGROUND
Environmental factors such as inhaled pollutants like cigarette smoke may play a significant role in diseases of the upper airway including chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The objectives of this review are to summarize prior studies that describe the correlation between active smoking and
BACKGROUND
Rhinosinusitis is a costly disease that adversely affects quality of life (QOL). It is known to be influenced by environmental factors, but few studies have evaluated the association between secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). To address this evidence
Previous studies have shown declines in productivity due to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are correlated with disease-specific quality-of-life (QOL) measures. However, it is unclear which symptom domains contribute primarily to productivity loss. This investigation sought to assess the association
OBJECTIVE
To examine the existing evidence on gender differences in the prevalence, treatment, and quality of life of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
METHODS
Review of the literature and expert opinion.
RESULTS
From a sociologic standpoint, women have historically been considered more
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke leads to very serious health effects, especially on the respiratory system. The objective of this paper was to estimate the influence of passive smoking on absence from work because of respiratory problems in women. The study sample consisted of 497 women aged
SummaryTobacco smoke exposure has obvious and complex effects on the immune system of the human upper respiratory tract, including pro-inflammatory and anti-immune effects. Exposure to tobacco smoke is closely related to the occurrence and development of allergic rhinitis, the common rhinitis
In previous studies we developed and introduced a method to examine the transport mechanisms of ions in primary cell cultures of human nasal epithelium. In the current study, substances, especially nicotine, that influence these mechanisms are investigated. Specimens of nasal and paranasal
Risk factors of recurrent sinusitis involve upper respiratory infections, bacterial load of the adenoids, day care attendance and exposure to tobacco smoke as well as sinonasal abnormalities, including septal deviation, choanal atresia, polyps and hypoplasia of sinuses. Furthermore, several systemic
OBJECTIVE
Although it is already known that the inflammation process elevates the risk of developing cancer, to date the association between rhinosinusitis and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the association between rhinosinusitis and NPC based on a
BACKGROUND
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent and costly disease that adversely impacts quality of life. As with other chronic diseases, individual and environmental factors impact the disease process. Smoking and secondhand tobacco (SHS) exposures are important risk factors for CRS.
