Abstract:
Chronic rhinonasal diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) cause impairment to the quality of life, increase the hospitalization and mortality. But we know little about the relationship between chronic rhinonasal disease (such as rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps and so on) and COPD. This review aimed to reveal the correlation of rhinonasal disease and COPD, as in epidemiology, mechanism, clinical presents, treatment and so on.
