TL;DR
This study finds that mepolizumab improves quality of life more for asthma than nasal polyps in patients with both conditions.
Contribution
The novel contribution is comparing the relative effectiveness of mepolizumab on asthma versus nasal polyps in co-diagnosed patients.
Findings
Mepolizumab significantly improved quality of life for both asthma and nasal polyps.
After treatment, more patients reported nasal polyps as the main quality-of-life issue, suggesting better asthma symptom suppression.
Asthma symptoms were more effectively suppressed by mepolizumab compared to nasal polyp symptoms.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Mepolizumab: Which condition benefits more: Nasal polyps or eosinophilic asthma? Introduction: The negative effects of eosinophilic severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) on quality of life are well known. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of mepolizumab treatment on the quality of life of patients diagnosed with eosinophilic severe asthma and CRSwNP Materials and Methods: Patients with CRSwNP and eosinophilic severe asthma who had been receiving mepolizumab 100 mg/month for at least six months as treatment were eligible for the study. Patients were assessed using quality of life and disease control questionnaires for both diseases before and during the sixth month of treatment. Results: Forty-nine patients were included in the present study. Compared to the pre-treatment period, there was significant clinical improvement in…
