Sicca Symptoms and their Association with Chronic Rhinosinusitis in a Community Sample.

CONCLUSIONS: Sicca symptoms are common in the community. Our novel finding of a strong association between dry eyes and CRS suggests that further research into the relationship between airway inflammation and sicca symptoms is required. These findings may have particular relevance to Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in both its primary and secondary forms.
