Endoscopic sinus surgery, aspirin therapy effective for AERD management
USA: Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) coupled with aspirin therapy may help in long-term management of AERD in majority of patients, which rarely requires the T2 biologics incorporation, finds a recent study. Further, patient questionnaires such as outcomes measure test score may help in the identification of aspirin therapy failure and guide the practitioner in making a decision on when to introduce T2 biologics into the patient's treatment regimen.
The findings of the study are published in the journal Allergy and Asthma Proceedings.
Type 2 (T2) biologics and/or aspirin therapy are used for the management of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). Auddie M. Sweis, Pritzker School of Medicine, Evanston, Illinois, and colleagues aimed to identify the number of patients with AERD who tolerated aspirin therapy, yet due to persistent symptoms, incorporated T2 biologic management.
