evidence of sinonasal inflammation and nasal polyps

+ Polyp recurrence can range from 10%-40%, and is more common in people
with comorbidities
— In older studies, polyp recurrence rates were:
> 6 months after surgery: 35%
> 12 months after surgery: 38%
> 18 months after surgery: 40%
+ Newer endoscopic approaches (eg, DRAF III, “reboot”) have reduced
2-year polyp recurrence rates to <10%
+ Type 2 inflammation is associated with more severe sinus disease and
symptoms and recurrence after surgery
