Clinical Practice Guideline – Adult Sinusitis (Update) (2015) Richard M. Rosenfeld

Description

This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for managing adult rhinosinusitis, defined as symptomatic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. It updates the 2007 guideline, focusing on improving diagnostic accuracy, promoting appropriate use of ancillary tests (like CT and nasal endoscopy), and emphasizing judicious use of systemic and topical therapy. It includes expanded opportunities for watchful waiting as initial therapy for acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS) and new recommendations for managing chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
