CRSwNP and CRSsNP have differences in symptom profile, effect on health-related QOL, and patient-perceived symptom control. CRSsNP experience significantly greater burden of ear/facial discomfort, while CRSwNP report greater hyposmia. Although CRSsNP reports lower general health-related QOL overall, CRSwNP patients had lower levels of CRS symptom control for every incremental increase in symptom burden suggesting greater sensitivity/intolerance to CRS symptoms.
