Impact of dupilumab prescribing on utilization of medical and surgical therapies for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

Christopher M Low et al. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol. 2024 Jul.

Abstract

Increased dupilumab utilization coincided with decreased ESS in patients with CRSwNP between 2019 and 2021. One potential confounder was the concurrent COVID-19 pandemic, which may have negatively impacted surgery utilization rates.

Keywords: FESS; chronic rhinosinusitis; endoscopic sinus surgery; eosinophilic rhinitis and nasal polyposis; medical therapy of chronic rhinosinusitis; therapeutics.
