From Prevention to Optimal Treatment in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Chronic rhinosinusitis remains a true societal challenge, as preventing this highly prevalent non-communicable disease will significantly reduce socio-economic costs and improve the overall well-being of the large group of affected individuals. In alignment with the health priorities of national governments, prevention and cost-effective health care should be embraced by the Rhinologic community. In the 2018 December issue of Rhinology, Hopkins et al., identify the key areas of action for primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, allowing a structured action plan for the near future. The need for action is illustrated by Hoven and coworkers highlighting the correlation between self-reported sino-nasal dysfunction and daytime sleepiness.
