RESUMEN
Objective: This study aims to investigate the intersection of athlete mental health and postoperative recurrence in athletes patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps (CRSwNP), focusing on the analysis of clinical treatment strategies. Methods: A cohort of 400 athletes diagnosed with CRSwNP, who underwent nasal endoscopic surgery at our hospital between March 2021 and March 2022, was included in this investigation. Retrospective analysis of clinical treatment data was conducted. Athletes Patients were categorized into the recurrent group (n=136) and the non-recurrent group (n=264). Univariate analysis was applied to identify factors influencing postoperative recurrence among CRSwNP patients. Subsequently, multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine the independent risk factors. Based on these findings, clinical treatment strategies were devised to address athlete mental health and enhance patient outcomes. Results: The study revealed a postoperative recurrence rate of 34.0% in CRSwNP patients. Athletes Patients in the recurrent group exhibited a longer disease duration compared to their non-recurrent counterparts. Notably, the recurrent group displayed significantly higher proportions of eosinophil (EOS) infiltration in nasal polyps, bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, peripheral blood EOS > 5.3%, and peripheral blood neutrophils (Neu) > 55.5% than the non-recurrent group (P<0.05). Conversely, the proportion of tissue lymphocytes < 30% was lower in the recurrent group. Furthermore, scores for anterior ethmoids (AE), posterior ethmoids (PE), ostiomeatal complex (OMC), and total scores in the recurrent group were significantly elevated compared to the non-recurrent group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).
