- Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and allergic rhinitis (AR) are prevalent airway diseases in the U.S.
- The study assessed the impact of CRS and AR on incident asthma using a large electronic health record database.
- CRS was associated with a higher risk of new-onset asthma and exacerbations compared to controls.
- Coexisting AR further increased the risk of asthma incidence and exacerbations in CRS patients.
- The findings suggest the need for phenotype-informed studies to manage upper-airway conditions to reduce asthma burden.
