Objectives/Hypothesis Olfactory dysfunction is common among the general population, with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) as one of the leading causes. Patients affected by CRS often report changes in taste sensations; however, quantitative measurements have not been performed to date. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate gustatory and olfactory function in CRS patients prior to and after multimodal treatment. Study Design Prospective cohort study. Methods Twenty‐one patients suffering from CRS with nasal polyps (14 male, seven female) with a mean age of 48 ± 15 years were included in the study. Chemosensory function was assessed prior to and approximately 190 days after multimodal treatment, which included endoscopic sinus surgery, oral antibiotics for 5 days, oral steroids for 12 days, and at least 6 weeks of topical nasal steroids. Olfactory function was tested with the Sniffin’ Sticks test battery, whereas gustatory function was measured with taste strips. A clinically relevant change in olfactory function was defined as a change of ≥5 points in the threshold, discrimination, and identification scores. Results Compared to normative data, patients baseline gustatory and olfactory function was impaired. After multimodal treatment, improvements were seen in olfactory function for eight patients (42%), remained stable in 10 patients (53%), and deteriorated in one patient (5%). Taste function remained unchanged following sinus surgery. Conclusions Patients suffering from CRS with polyps exhibit olfactory and taste dysfunctions. Multimodal treatment leads to an improvement in olfactory, but not gustatory functionality. Level of Evidence 4. Laryngoscope, 128:E86–E90, 2018
