Abbreviations: OBS/DC = obstruction and discharge only; PP = pain and/or pressure with at least one cardinal symptom (obstruction and/or discharge); SL = smell loss with at least one cardinal symptom; PPSL = pain and/o pressure, smell loss, and at least one cardinal symptom.

*

Weighted based on sampling frames and participation rates. Weighted truncated so that the weight of the highest weighted group was weighted at the weight of the next highest weighted subgroup. Adjusted for sex, race/ethnicity, age, age-centered squared, smoking status, medical assistance, and age of onset.

**

Never: Did not report EPOS CRS symptoms in lifetime; Past: Meet EPOS CRS symptoms in lifetime but not currently; Current: Met EPOS CRS symptoms in the last 3 months;
