Cognitive Function in CRS
This study aims to understand and describe the problems associated with memory, language, thinking, or judgment in patients with chronic sinus disease, a condition with long lasting symptoms of nasal congestion and inflammation in the sinuses.
With a goal to characterize cognitive function profile in both healthy controls and patients with chronic inflammation in upper airways; and identify those at risk of impaired cognition; as well as identify the preventable risk factors of cognitive impairment including sleep timing shift; and to test the hypothesis that serum IL-6 has a role in this process and may serve as a biomarker for cognitive impairment in CRS.
