We want to study a medical condition where people have both chronic sinus problems (CRS) and asthma. This condition is quite common and makes people sicker, but we don’t have a good summary of what causes it. Our goal is to look at all the existing information to see how often it happens and what might make it more likely to suffer from both diseases. Based on our own research (which hasn’t been published yet), it seems like genetics and exposures during childhood might play a role in getting both chronic sinus problems and asthma.To better understand this condition, we need to review all the research on what causes it and find new solutions. This is important because it’s a lifelong problem that affects people’s health and the economy. By doing this research, we can improve how we educate people about it, how we treat it, and what kind of research still needs to be done. This will help doctors, scientists, and researchers focus on the most important questions.
