A framework for quality measurement in the presurgical care of chronic rhinosinusitis: a review from the Quality Improvement Committee of the American Rhinologic Society

Abstract: Defining metrics that assess key components to CRS care prior to offering surgery has the potential to further improve upon an already successful treatment paradigm, reduce unwarranted practice variation, and to ensure that patients are receiving a similar level of high-quality care.

“…), safety, or timeliness of care 277 . In 2018, the QI committee of the ARS developed a framework for quality measurement in the presurgical care of CRS termed “CRS Appropriate Presurgical Algorithm (CAPA).” Based on the available evidence, the following quality metrics were supported as part of the presurgical care for CRS: (1) a guideline‐based diagnosis should be verified, (2) appropriate medical management should be attempted, (3) a CT scan should be obtained, and (4) a patient‐centered discussion should take place encompassing risks and benefits of available treatment options, long‐term medical compliance, and patient preferences and expectations 278 . However, actual implementation and validation of this framework is still yet to be determined.…”

“…The development of a sturdy definition of AMT remains elusive, likely due in part to the significant heterogeneity inherent in RS 278 . While there are numerous studies evaluating the efficacy of individual drug classes in the treatment of CRS, discussed elsewhere in this ICAR‐RS‐2021 document, there are no clinical trials evaluating the optimal combination of drugs.…”

“…Although this article focuses on the quality of surgical care for CRS, it is important to include aspects of preoperative care because this already sets the course for high-quality surgical care. The Quality Improvement Committee of the American Rhinologic Society has determined 4 important quality-relevant presurgical components of CRS care [27]. These are diagnosis, adequate medical management, patient-centered discussion of treatment options and appropriate follow-up private practice surgeon surgeon and staff staff private practice/hospital patient selection for surgery.…”

“…The best evidence exists for topical steroids with a large number of randomized placebo-controlled trials with improvement of subjective symptoms, polyp size and nasal air flow [32]. One article on quality of preoperative treatment identifies the best evidence for saline nasal rinsing and topical steroids [27]. It determines appropriate medical management as a minimum of topical corticosteroid therapy and saline irrigations before surgical intervention should be taken into consideration.…”
