Comparison of Outcomes of Management of Chronic Rhinosinusitis by Conservative Approach Vs Endoscopic Sinus Surgery with Review of Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects 1 in 8 people in India; about 5-15% of urban population. The prevalence of sinusitis (146/1000 population) has been reported to exceed that of any other chronic condition and is apparently on the increase. Sinusitis is a common health problem that leads to frequent visits to primary care physicians and to ear, nose and throat specialists in all over the world. It contributes to a significant amount of health care expenditure due to direct costs arising from physician visits and antibiotics, as well as indirect costs related to missed days at work and a general loss of productivity due to a decrease in life-quality of those affected
