Sino-nasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) questionnaire, nasal polyp score (NPS) and Lund-Mackay score (LMS) are commonly used to quantify severity of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). We aimed to assess correlation and significance between SNOT-22, NPS and LMS and association between type-2 inflammatory markers in real life clinical practice.. Retrospective data of CRSwNP patients from rhinology clinic in National Health Service (NHS) Tayside, Scotland from January 2021 to August 2022. SNOT-22 and NPS were obtained from medical records. Peripheral blood eosinophils (PBE) and total IgE were obtained from available blood test results since having the diagnosis of CRSwNP and up to three years prior the rhinology clinic. CT sinus scans performed within the last year prior the rhinology clinic were included in data analysis.. Total of 114 patients, 61% were males and 39% were females. 65% had asthma (including aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease). CRSwNP patients with asthma had higher PBE, total IgE and LMS (all p
