Objectives/Hypothesis Psychological comorbidity is common in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and correlated decreased overall disease‐specific quality of life (QoL). Prior research reported that anxiety depression, as measured by the hospital depression scale (HADS), are associated worse CRS‐specific QoL, assessed via Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI). Furthermore, prone to anxiety/depression may display an exaggerated response real or anticipated discomfort; pain...
