[Enhanced quality of documentation for biologic therapy of chronic rhinosinusitis through structured digital reporting and indication?]

ABSTRACT:

Background

With targeted inhibition of type 2 inflammation, biologics represent the standard add-on therapy for inadequately controlled severe forms of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Despite standardization with paper-based checklists, the documentation of medical history and current findings pertinent to indication criteria are a significant challenge for physicians. Through development of an application based on structured reporting, the current study aimed to improve documentation quality and simplify the decision-making process. Previously available paper checklists served as a comparison.

Methods

For this study, a digital incremental tool was programmed to record current findings and check for fulfilment of indication criteria. The tool was compared
