Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Rhinosinusitis is a common diagnosis that all of us have encountered. Chronic sinusitis is a significant problem for the pediatric population, despite being less common than acute sinusitis and receiving less attention than its adult counterpart. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in this clinical condition, and the goal of this Special Issue is to gather various clinical and research experiences on this subject. Therefore, submissions of articles focusing on the pathophysiology of chronic sinusitis and the role of the microbiome will be welcomed. Clinical works from pediatrics, otolaryngology, immunology of pneumology, etc. will also be appreciated, with a focus on both medical and surgical treatments, combined and multidisciplinary approaches, as well as the new frontier of biological therapy.

(1) Background: The recurrence rate of childhood recurrent sinusitis varies widely between 12% and 50%, with the postoperative recurrence risk factors remaining largely unidentified. We sought to enhance the understanding of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) via a retrospective observational childhood cohort. (2) Methods: The study recruited 125 cases. Demographic data and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate potential risk factors of childhood recurrent sinusitis following functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). (3) Results: A postoperative recurrence rate of 21.6% was determined. Among the participants, 21 cases presented a history of allergic rhinitis (AR), with the remaining 104 cases being AR-free. A significantly heightened recurrence rate was noted in those bearing a history of AR compared to their counterparts devoid of such history (p < 0.000). The fully adjusted logistic regression model indicated a 21.04-fold increased risk of postoperative recurrence in childhood CRS bearing a history of AR compared to those without an AR history (p = 0.000), highlighting the history of AR as an independent risk factor for postoperative childhood recurrent sinusitis (p = 0.001); (4) Conclusions: The data implicate AR as an independent risk factor for postoperative childhood recurrent sinusitis.
