Chronic rhinosinusitis control from the patient and physician perspectives.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The concept of disease control incorporates independent disease characteristics that are longitudinally reflective of disease status and which can be used to make treatment decisions. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic condition for which the determination of disease control by both the patient and the treating physician is important.
