ABSTRACT
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent chronic condition with dynamic developments in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches given the recent updated guidelines and novel therapeutic approaches. A critical reflection on clinical practice of CRS care in 2022 is needed, hence providing hints for better care. This review provides an overall evaluation of the current approach of CRS care, including strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threat related to the current care pathways in most regions worldwide. Strengths of current CRS care are mainly related to effective treatment options allowing personalized care, with preventive and curative goals included in the current guidelines. However, a large portion of patients with CRS remain uncontrolled given the multiple weaknesses in CRS care, related to several factors such as underdiagnosis, undertreatment, and suboptimal coordination of care among health care providers. The opportunities for better care are ample given the possibility of implementing optimal care following guidelines, including preventive interdisciplinary strategies and patient-oriented treatment plans. In 2022, CRS represents a chronic condition that is subject to a (r)evolution of care with good opportunities for better outcomes and health economic savings.
