The results of a pilot study suggest that long-term exposure to higher pollen levels leads to worse symptoms and quality of life for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. For the 103 patients studied, levels of ragweed pollen exposure over a five-year interval were correlated with worse Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores. (SNOT-22 is a questionnaire used to measure quality of life for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.)
