Secondhand Tobacco Smoke Exposure and Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Population-Based Case–Control Study

Abstract

Exposure to SHS during childhood and adulthood may be a risk factor for CRS. Furthermore, compared with unexposed CRS cases, SHS exposed cases reported worse nasal symptoms and used more nasal decongestants compared with unexposed cases, suggesting SHS exposure is related to exacerbation and more severe symptoms.

Sinonasal inflammation in COPD: a systematic review

“…This constitutes a problem since smoking might have different or even opposing effects in allergic rhinitis and nonallergic disease [1,13,15]. Several studies in this review did not include allergy testing [15,16,21,25]. Likewise, some studies did not include nasal endoscopy and therefore could not discriminate between nasal disease with or without nasal polyps [21,48].…”

“…Several studies in this review did not include allergy testing [15,16,21,25]. Likewise, some studies did not include nasal endoscopy and therefore could not discriminate between nasal disease with or without nasal polyps [21,48]. This too is troublesome because nasal disease with and without nasal polyps may be differently associated with smoking.…”

Chronische Rhinosinusitis - ein häufiges Puzzleteil in der Pneumologie

“…Unklar ist, ob die Biofilme Ursache oder Folge der Schleimhautveränderung bei CRS sind [29,30]. Genetische Einflüsse sind ebenso wie die Bedeutung einer Passivrauchexposition in der Kindheit und Jugend nicht abschließend untersucht [31]. [23].…”
