ObjectiveSevere type 2 eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is challenging to treat and susceptible to recurrence post‐surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between clinical markers and tissue type 2 inflammatory severity in patients with CRSwNP.MethodsAdult patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for bilateral CRSwNP were prospectively enrolled. Tissue eosinophil count (TEC) was evaluated. Expression levels of type 2 cytokines, including IL‐5 and IL‐13, in nasal polyps were determined using real‐time PCR. Correlations between clinical markers and tissue type 2 inflammation were also assessed.ResultsIn total, 150 participants were recruited. Ninety‐five (63.3%) exhibited type 2 eosinophilic CRSwNP defined by TEC ≥10/high power field. Weak to moderate correlations were observed between clinical and tissue markers of type 2 inflammation. Among the clinical markers, blood eosinophil count (BEC) exhibited the highest correlation with tissue type 2 inflammatory severity, as determined by TEC, IL‐5, and IL‐13 expression levels in nasal polyps. Comorbid asthma, nonsmoking status, ethmoid/maxillary sinuses (E/M) ratio, and BEC were significant predictors of eosinophilic CRSwNP in the regression analysis.ConclusionsBEC, a dominant clinical marker, exhibits the highest correlation with tissue type 2 inflammatory severity, as determined by TEC, IL‐5, and IL‐13 in nasal polyps. Comorbid asthma, nonsmoking status, E/M ratio, and BEC were significant predictors of eosinophilic CRSwNP. This could help clinicians better evaluate the severity of type 2 inflammation in patients with CRSwNP and provide optimal therapeutic strategies.Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 2024
