Abstract
Key Points
Self-controlled analysis: mean episodes reduced from 2.72 to 1.18 per year; 56.6% reduction.
Treatment effect consistent across subgroups, from patients using intranasal corticosteroids (ICS) to those with concurrent chronicc rhinosinusitis (CRS).
Findings support prospective randomized controlled trial evaluation of azelastine for recurrent acute rhinosinusitis (RARS).
期刊介绍:
International Forum of Allergy & Rhinologyis a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and the Official Journal of the American Rhinologic Society and the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy.
International Forum of Allergy Rhinology provides a forum for clinical researchers, basic scientists, clinicians, and others to publish original research and explore controversies in the medical and surgical treatment of patients with otolaryngic allergy, rhinologic, and skull base conditions. The application of current research to the management of otolaryngic allergy, rhinologic, and skull base diseases and the need for further investigation will be highlighted.
