Chronic rhinosinusitis and occupational risk factors among 20‐ to 75‐year‐old Danes—A GA²LEN‐based study

Abstract

CRS prevalence was affected by occupation (blue vs. white collar), but the observed effect depended on gender and smoking status. Exposure to airway irritants (occupational or smoking) increased the CRS prevalence. Studies on larger cohorts are needed to fully assess these tendencies, for example, by more extensive use of Job Exposure Matrix models.
