Increased B Cell-Activating Factor Expression Is Associated with Postoperative Recurrence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps

<div>The associations between serum BAFF levels and clinical variables in CRSwNP patients. Elevated serum BAFF levels exhibited positive correlation with peripheral (e) eosinophil count, but did not link with (a) age, (b) BMI, (c) VAS score, (d) Lund-Mackay score, and (f) peripheral eosinophil percentage. BAFF: B cell-activating factor; CRSwNP: chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps; BMI: body mass index; VAS: visual analog scale.</div>
