The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and aspirin desensitization (AD) on otologic symptoms in subjects with AERD. Methods Retrospective chart review of adult patients diagnosed with AERD at our tertiary Care Academic Medical Center - Otorhinolaryngology Department. Charts of adult patients diagnosed with AERD who underwent ESS and ASA desensitization at our institution's AERD Center from 2016 to 2019 were reviewed. Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test 22-item survey (SNOT-22) scores were evaluated for patients at various time points including: pre-surgery, post-surgery/pre-aspirin desensitization, and various times post-desensitization up to >12 months. Within the SNOT-22, otologic-specific subdomain scores were evaluated at similar time points. Patients on immunomodulatory medications other than corticostero...
