Sleep Disturbance and Daytime Fatigue as Predictors of Cognitive Decline and Functional Decline in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

FOCUS-CRS is a cross-sectional observational study examining the relationship between sleep disturbance, daytime fatigue, and cognitive and functional health in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The study aims to determine whether self-reported sleep and fatigue scores predict impairments in physical and cognitive quality of life domains. A total of 134 adult CRS patients completed structured questionnaires assessing symptom burden and quality of life. Correlational and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the predictive role of sleep disturbance and fatigue on functional and cognitive outcomes. This study seeks to improve understanding of underrecognized systemic effects of CRS, with implications for multidisciplinary patient care.
