Main Results:

  • Rhinosinusitis demonstrably influences asthma.
  • Growing evidence suggests rhinosinusitis and asthma may be interconnected manifestations of a single underlying disorder.
  • The precise mechanisms of this association require further investigation.

Conclusions:

  • Rhinosinusitis is a critical factor to consider in patients with severe or refractory asthma.
  • Further research is essential to fully understand the complex interplay between these conditions.
  • Integrated management approaches may be beneficial for patients with comorbid rhinosinusitis and asthma.
