Oral corticosteroids in the management of adult chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyps: an evidence‐based review with recommendations

Oral steroids are strongly recommended for short-term management of CRSwNP. Oral steroids are also recommended for management of AFS. Oral steroid use in CRSsNP is optional due to insufficient strong evidence. Oral steroids are also strongly recommended in the perioperative period for CRSwNP and AFS. There is no recommendation for oral steroids use in the perioperative period in patients with CRSsNP. The risks of oral steroids are rare, but significant adverse effects must be considered.
