People with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, or aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), have a greater chance of having nasal polyps. If you do not get treatment for nasal polyps, they can cause long-term problems in your nose and sinuses.<\/p>\n<p>Nasal polyps are considered a subtype of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). CRS is a common medical condition that affects 5-12% of adults. There are two major types of CRS, divided based on the presence or absence of nasal polyps (NP):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chronic rhinosinusitis <em>with<\/em> nasal polyps (CRSwNP)<\/li>\n<li>Chronic rhinosinusitis <em>without<\/em> nasal polyps (CRSsNP)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Around 20-30% people with CRS have nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This condition can have a major impact on your quality of life and mental health.<\/p>\n<p>The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) conducted a multicomponent cross-sectional needs assessment study for CRSwNP.

By analyzing data and common themes from the study, AAFA identified several unmet needs and areas of opportunity for improving CRSwNP care.<\/p>\n<p>In this section, we summarize unmet needs that emerged from the study as well as opportunities for CRSwNP stakeholders to address needs in the following domains:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Health care provider (HCP) education and clinical care<\/li>\n<li>Patient education and public awareness<\/li>\n<li>Treatments and patient-centered research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;For More Info \/ Image Left Aligned&#8221; module_id=&#8221;download&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#505050&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;2%||1%||false|false&#8221; dvmd_hsp_mode=&#8221;hide&#8221; dvmd_hsp_preset=&#8221;#12&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>For more information, read the report below or download it as a PDF:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/life-with-nasal-polyps-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-656 alignleft size-medium\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/life-with-nasal-polyps-report-thumb.png\" alt=\"Life with Nasal Polyps Report\" width=\"135\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Download PDFs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#505050&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;||||on||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; header_4_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/small_swoosh_BG.png&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_horizontal_offset=&#8221;21%&#8221; background_vertical_offset=&#8221;2%&#8221; dvmd_hsp_mode=&#8221;hide&#8221; dvmd_hsp_preset=&#8221;#12&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4>Download PDFs<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/life-with-nasal-polyps-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Life with Nasal Polyps: The Patient Experience and Opportunities to Improve Care in the U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/press-release-aafa-asthma-disparities-in-america-report-16-september-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Study on the Current State of Health Care for Eosinophilic Esophagitis <\/a> (May 18, 2023)<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Recommended Citation&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#505050&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_5_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||3%||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Recommended Citation<\/h5>\n<p>Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, (2024).
