Comparison of clinical features in high-IgD versus low-IgD in nasal tissue from patients with CRS

High-IgD CRS Patients (n=12) Low-IgD CRS patients (n=48) P-value
IgD (ng/mg total protein) in UT, mean (range) 1307 (568.7–4875) 134.1 (5.216–479.8) <.0001
Prevalence of CRSsNP, % (Ratio of CRSsNP:CRSwNP) 75.0% (9:3) 43.7% (21:27) .05
Purulent rhinorrhea on endoscopy 0% 12.5% 0.33

Medication use (< 4weeks of sinus surgery), %
 Antibiotics 33.3% 6.3% .01
 Nasal corticosteroids 20.0% 17.2% .84
 Oral corticosteroids 20.0% 33.3% .42

Asthma,% 41.7% 37.5% .79
Atopy,% 54.5% 68.3% .39
ECP (ng/mg total protein), mean (range) 757.4 (1.53–7682) 309.9 (14–1694) .39
Lund-Mackay score28, mean (range) 10.5 (6–16) 13.0 (3–24) .09

CRS, chronic rhinosinusitis; UT, uncinate tissue; CRSsNP, chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps; CRSwNP, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps; ECP, eosinophil cationic protein

Text in boldface indicates statistically significant differences for that variable between high-IgD CRS patients and low-IgD CRS patients (P < .05).
