Epidemiology of chronic rhinosinusitis: results from a cross‐sectional survey in seven Chinese cities

Abstract

BackgroundChronic sinusitis (CRS) is a common otorhinolaryngologic disease that is frequently encountered in everyday practice, but there is a lack of precise data regarding the prevalence of CRS in developing countries. We performed a national investigation in China to determine the prevalence and associated factors of CRS.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional investigation in 2012. A stratified four-stage sampling method was used to select participants randomly from seven cities in mainland China. All participants were interviewed face-to-face via a standardized questionnaire. Unconditional logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between smoking and sinusitis after adjusting for socio-demographic factors.ResultsThis study included a total of 10 636 respondents from seven cities. The overall prevalence of CRS was 8.0% and ranged from 4.8% to 9.7% in seven centres. Chronic sinusitis affected approximately 107 million people in mainland China. Chronic sinusitis was particularly prevalent among people with specific medical conditions, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and gout. The prevalence was slightly higher among males (8.79%) than females (7.28%) (P = 0.004), and the prevalence varied by age group, ethnicity and marital status and education (P < 0.05), but not by household per capita income or living space (P > 0.05). Both second-hand tobacco smoke and active smoking were independent risk factors for CRS (P = 0.001).ConclusionsChronic sinusitis is an important public health problem in China. Our study provides important information for the assessment of the economic burden of CRS and the development and promotion of public health policies associated with CRS particularly in developing countries.

Prevalence of Chronic Rhino Sinusitis and It's Recurrent After Treatment Compare to Its Recurrent After Surgery at Saudi Arabia, 2016.

“…(15) which was consistent with some studies discovering positive associations between sinus disease or CRS and asthma. (18,19) This conform our finding 61.6% of infected respondents suffer from sensitivity.…”

“…(14) but this finding unlike results of study in china which reported that The prevalence chronic rhinosinusitis among males was higher than that among females in the general population. (15) More than half 55.6% of infected respondents were between (21-30) years old. this finding conform with Kim et al whose found that A relatively higher prevalence was seen in those aged 15-34.…”

“…The study population includes all residents in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia till the research year (2016), a random sample of (438) participants was selected, they answered the questionnaire electronically, (216) persons of them were infected with chronic sinusitis, they are nearly half of the selected sample, while (222) aren't infected with sinusitis, table (1) shows the participants properties according to their personal information: We also can notice that 55.6% of the ages of those who suffer chronic sinusitis were between (21-30) years old, while 18.1% of them were between (31-40) years old, 12.5% of them were between (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) years old, 9.7% of them were between (42-50) years old, and 4.2% of them were between (51-60) years old.…”
