Abstract
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains challenging to manage effectively, with high symptom recurrence rates and significant impacts on quality of life, prompting a need to evaluate the real-world use of biologics and optimize treatment strategies.
Objective: To assess the real-world application and perspectives of American Rhinologic Society (ARS) members on biologic treatments and surgical interventions for CRSwNP, focusing on clinical practice patterns, adoption of biologics, and their impact on surgical practices.
Methods: A standardized questionnaire evaluated clinical practice patterns of biologics prescriptions and surgery in treating CRSwNP between July 2022 and August 2023. Data collected from 162 ARS members were analyzed.
Results: Of 162 participants, a substantial majority (95.06%, n = 154) reported prescribing biologics in their practice. Notably, 45.45% (n = 70) found biologics easily accessible, although accessibility challenges remained for some. The impact of biologics on surgical practices was significant, with 36.36% (n = 56) observing a marked reduction in revision sinus surgeries. Among the participants, 47.16% (n = 71) agreed that aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) was the highest phenotype that tended to increase the possibility of biological treatment by more than 20%. Adopting Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) was prevalent, with 57.79% (n = 89) utilizing them in patient management.
Conclusion: The study highlights the evolving landscape in managing CRSwNP, with a marked trend toward integrating biological treatments into clinical practice. It underscores the necessity for continued research, updates to clinical guidelines, and enhanced practitioner education to optimize treatment outcomes for CRSwNP patients.
