    Abstract:
    Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disease and is currently classified in two main phenotypes: CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). A panel of international experts conducted the present survey. A questionnaire, containing 25 questions, was completed by each member of the panel. About half of patients with suspected CRS had confirmed diagnosis. CRSwNP affected 31% of CRS patients. Endoscopy and CT were ever performed. Rhinitis and asthma were frequent comorbidities. Intranasal corticosteroids were prescribed on average in 86% of patients. Nonadrenergic compounds were prescribed by 71% of experts. Surgery for CRSwNP was performed in about half of patients; repeated intervention occurred in about one/third. In conclusion, the current survey demonstrated that CRS requires thorough diagnostic work-up, and the most common therapeutic approach is mainly based on intranasal corticosteroids, non-adrenergic decongestants, and surgery.
