Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common medical disorders worldwide. It is believed to affect nearly 12% of the adult population and is characterized by inflammation of the nose and sinus cavities that persists for a minimum of 12 weeks. Approximately 20% of patients with CRS have nasal polyps, or chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). CRSwNP has been associated with significant morbidity, discomfort and healthcare costs. Without proper treatment, it can significantly diminish the productivity and quality of life of affected individuals.
