Nasal polyps: Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Nasal polyps are usually produced by the continuous pressure resulting from a chronic allergy that causes prolonged mucous membrane edema in the nose and sinuses. Other predisposing factors include chronic sinusitis, chronic rhinitis, and recurrent nasal infections.

Nasal polyps are more common in adults than in children and tend to recur. They’re also commonly seen in patients with long-term allergic rhinitis. About 1 in 4 people with cystic fibrosis have nasal polyps.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:

The term 'prevalence' of Nose conditions usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Nose conditions at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Nose conditions refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Nose conditions diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
