Abstract
Program Description:
This clinical consensus statement was developed by a multidisciplinary panel of experts to improve patient care and outcomes for pediatric patients with chronic and recurrent rhinosinusitis. Clinical statements were developed using the modified Delphi technique to optimize expert consensus. Clinical statements were developed to specifically address differences between and within medical disciplines regarding the diagnostic methods for pediatric rhinosinusitis and in both the medical and surgical therapeutic approaches for the management of pediatric rhinosinusitis. This miniseminar will review the key results of the panel’s efforts as well as critically assess the available, supporting evidence.
Educational Objectives:
(1) Review the key clinical factors that distinguish acute and/or chronic rhinosinusitis from other common illnesses such as viral upper respiratory infection or allergic rhinitis. (2) Assess the most useful diagnostic measures to establish the diagnosis of rhinosinusitis in children. (3) Explore the stepwise recommended medical and surgical treatment approaches for pediatric rhinosinusitis.
