Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common conditions that physicians treat in ambulatory practice. Because of its diversity of presentation, accurate clinical diagnosis is often difficult. Objective of this study is to determine clinical profile of CRS. Tertiary care hospital level retrospective case series data analysis of 55 cases of CRS for a period of 1-year was done. Detailed analysis of demography and clinical features was done. Results were analyzed. CRS is a common medical condition but with a wide range of symptomatology. In the present study, it is shown as a disease with male predominance, affecting mostly the middle age group. Identifying CRS patients correctly, from other sinonasal conditions and providing healthcare interventions can greatly reduce the burden of disease
