¸ñÀû: Anxiety and depression are prevalent amongst patients with chronic
rhinosinusitis (CRS) and associated with poorer outcomes following CRS
treatment. However, the impact of CRS treatment on mental health remains
uncertain. Therefore, this study seeks to evaluate if surgical
intervention for CRS may alleviate comorbid depression and anxiety. ¹æ¹ý:PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases were searched for cohort studies,
cross-sectional studies, and randomised controlled trials relating to
sinus surgery for CRS from inception to 30 April 2024 using the
Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcomes framework. Studies
investigating levels of depression and anxiety pre- and post-surgical
treatment of CRS were selected. 11 studies comprising 3,067 patients
were included, of which 5 were quantitatively analysed. Data was
extracted into a structured proforma and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale
was used to evaluate study bias, following Preferred Reporting Items
for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines and a PROSPERO-
registered protocol (CRD42022351855). Meta-analyses of the ratio of
means were conducted in a random-effects model. °á°ú:Sinus surgery was associated with significant improvement in markers of
depression (ROM = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.03-2.10), anxiety (ROM = 1.10, 95% CI
= 0.81 to 49) and quality-of-life. °á·Ð:Sinus surgery for CRS may improve comorbid depression and anxiety. |
