Implication

Umbrella review assesses effectiveness of biological therapies and endoscopic sinus surgery in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, suggesting tailored treatment approaches.

Key Points

Endoscopic sinus surgery shows greater early symptom relief in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, offering a significant mean difference of -12.4 in SNOT-22 scores at 3 months.
Four systematic reviews encompassing 847 patients provide a comprehensive analysis of effectiveness, highlighting the strengths of both biological therapies and surgical intervention.
While endoscopic sinus surgery provides rapid symptomatic relief, biological therapies like dupilumab demonstrate comparable long-term outcomes, especially in improving olfactory function.
Adverse events for both interventions are manageable, emphasizing the importance of considering patient factors when selecting treatment strategies for chronic rhinosinusitis.
