Effect and Threshold of Endoscopic Findings for CRS Control Status and Long‐Term Outcome Prediction
While endoscopic findings are only weakly associated with concurrent control status, their addition enhances prediction of subsequent V2 CRS outcomes. Our study provides the first real-world evidence supporting the value of endoscopic findings as predictors for CRS disease progression, with an MLK threshold ≥ 3 showing moderate predictive accuracy for future maintenance of control.
