- Abstract
- We analyzed the relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and the incidence of head and neck cancers (HNCs) in a Korean adult population. This retrospective cohort study included data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. Adjustments were made to minimize risk variables for sex, age, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and rhinitis between the two groups. The primary endpoint was newly diagnosed HNC between January 2009 and December 2018. Among 1,337,120 subjects in the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, data from 324,774 diagnosed with CRS (CRS group) and 649,548 control subjects (control group) were selected. Patients with CRS exhibited a statistically significant greater risk for nasal cavity/paranasal sinus cancer, hypopharynx/larynx cancer, and thyroid cancer compared with the control group. In the CRS group, the adjusted hazard ratios for nasal cavity/paranasal sinus cancer were 1.809 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.085-3.016), 1.343 (95% CI 1.031-1.748) for hypopharynx and larynx cancer, and 1.116 (95% CI 1.063-1.173) for thyroid cancer. CRS was associated with a higher incidence of HNCs. Therefore, physicians should carefully consider the possibility of HNC progression and implement therapeutic strategies to minimize the impact of these diseases.
