Addressing the Burden of Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps: Strategies for Managing Patients in Rural and Underserved Communities

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Target Audience
This activity is designed specifically for primary care clinicians, registered nurses, and advanced practice registered nurses who care for patients from rural and underserved areas.

Program Overview
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is an inflammatory disease that affects the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses. Patients with CRSwNP experience a high symptom burden including nasal congestion, loss of smell, rhinorrhea, and emotional/sleep symptoms, all of which have been linked to decreased quality of life. Management of CRSwNP can be particularly challenging in rural and underserved communities, where resources and access to specialty care are limited. In this CME/CE activity, expert faculty will review the pathophysiology of CRSwNP, diagnostic criteria and best practices for assessment, and emerging biologic targets and treatment options. Strategies for improving multidisciplinary management of CRSwNP in rural and underserved populations will also be discussed.

This enduring activity is a recorded session from Rural Health Clinical Congress Fall 2022 that took place on November 19, 2022.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

Describe the pathophysiology and biological mechanisms involved in CRSwNP
Summarize the efficacy and safety data of new and emerging biologic treatment options for CRSwNP
Identify appropriate patients with CRSwNP for biologic therapy
Utilize strategies for improving multidisciplinary care and management of CRSwNP in rural and underserved populations
