Patients Unmet Needs in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps Care
The background of this article focuses on European patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) that have had only limited occasions to unite to have their voices heard, hence missing the opportunity to contribute to the improvement of CRSwNP care.
It aims to identify unmet needs in CRSwNP from the perspective of CRSwNP patients from the Patient Advisory Board (PAB) of the European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airways diseases (EUFOREA).
This statement of the EUFOREA Patient Advisory Board on CRSwNP provides novel insights into the underestimation of the burden of CRSwNP and the shortcomings of current care. Multiple recommendations made by the patients can underpin action plans for the implementation of better care for CRSwNP among all physicians treating patients with this disabling disease.
