Abstract
Conclusions: Patients with and without sinonasal polyps who begin biologic therapy are shown to have significant improvements in their ACT score at follow-up. In addition, patients with polyps are shown to have significantly better control of their asthma while on biologics than patients with no polyps. Comorbid CRSwNP may predict response to biologic therapy in those with severe asthma (SA).
