The Diagnostic Accuracy of the Nasopharyngeal Reflux Endoscopic Score (NRES) for Identifying Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

: Chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps (CRSwNPs/CRSsNPs) is an inflammatory disease that is becoming increasingly associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD). Although symptom-based questionnaires, such as the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and Reflux Symptom Score (RSS), are widely used, there is a lack of objective endoscopic tools for assessing the nasopharyngeal and nasal manifestations of reflux. The Nasopharyngeal Reflux Endoscopic Score (NRES) is a novel endoscopic scoring system that was developed to address this issue.
