Nasal polyps are a multifactorial inflammatory condition of the upper airways. Nasal polyps typically affect middle-aged and elderly patients, average age at diagnosis is 40 to 60, and men are affected more commonly than women.
To analyse the reported prevalence of nasal polyps in the Polish population, including demographics and co-morbidities, and to estimate the costs of outpatient and hospital (inpatient) services financed by the National Health Fund.
Statistical analysis of data extracted from the National Health Fund (NHF) registers for 2008-2018.
In 2018, the recorded prevalence of nasal polyps in Poland was 52.0/10,000 population (0.52%), amounting to 64.6/10,000 (0.65%) in men and 40.2/10,000 (0.40) in women. Nasal polyps were much more frequent in patients aged 55-59 (98.1/10000) and 75-79 years (98.7/10,000). Among men, the highest prevalence was found in the 75-79 age group (164.3/10,000 population), and among women in the 55-59 age group (75.1/10,000). In 2018, the Polish NHF spent PLN 17.2 million (equivalent to EUR 4.0 million/USD 4.7 million) on health services related to the diagnosis of nasal polyps. Hospital services accounted for 77.4% of the total cost.
Nasal polyps are more than one and a half times as prevalent in men than in women. The recorded prevalence of nasal polyps increases with age, with the rates peaking in those between 75 and 79 years old, and is more often in urban than rural areas.
鼻息肉是上呼吸道的一种多因素炎症性疾病。鼻息肉通常影响中年和老年患者，诊断时的平均年龄为40至60岁，男性比女性更易患病。
分析波兰人群中报告的鼻息肉患病率，包括人口统计学和合并症，并估计由国家卫生基金资助的门诊和住院（ inpatient）服务费用。
对从国家卫生基金（NHF）2008 - 2018年登记册中提取的数据进行统计分析。
2018年，波兰记录的鼻息肉患病率为52.0/10000人口（0.52%），男性为64.6/10000（0.65%），女性为40.2/10000（0.40%）。鼻息肉在55 - 59岁（98.1/10000）和75 - 79岁（98.7/10000）的患者中更为常见。在男性中，患病率最高的是75 - 79岁年龄组（164.3/10000人口），在女性中是55 - 59岁年龄组（75.1/10000）。2018年，波兰国家卫生基金在与鼻息肉诊断相关的医疗服务上花费了1720万兹罗提（相当于400万欧元/470万美元）。住院服务占总费用的77.4%。
鼻息肉在男性中的患病率是女性的一倍半以上。记录的鼻息肉患病率随年龄增长而增加，在75至79岁之间达到峰值，并且城市地区比农村地区更常见。
