Health Care Disparities in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Differences in Disease Presentation and Access to Care.

This study suggests that patients of lower socioeconomic status had a longer duration of disease prior to surgery, more often had nasal polyposis, and had decreased access to care, as indicated by increased surgical wait times and being lost to follow-up. Acting as a foundation for further investigation, the ultimate intent of this study is to improve care for all patients.
