Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS:
Nasal polyps were significantly smaller after both 6 months (p<0.01) and 12 months of treatment (p<0.01) than before treatment. The decrease in the shadow score was statistically significant after both 6 months (p<0.01) and 12 months of treatment (p<0.01). Significant reductions in peripheral blood eosinophil counts were also seen after both 6 months (p<0.05) and 12 months of treatment (p<0.01). A significant correlation was found between the rate of change in the peripheral blood eosinophil count and that in the CT score after both 6 months (r=0.578, p=0.012) and 12 months (r=0.625, p=0.007). CONCLUSION:
