个人简介
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS)is highly prevalent in the community affecting patients of all ages and leads to frequent visits to primary care physicians and specialist care. Estimates from the National Health Survey indicate that, based on respondents' self-reports, just under 2 million people in Australia (9% of the Australian population 21,498,5401) had chronic sinusitis in 2007-2008. This makes CRS one of the most frequently reported health conditions in Australia, comparable to asthma (9.9%). The prevalence was higher among females (11%) than males (8.9%), peaking among those aged 55-64 years2. Since 1995, the prevalence from the National Health Survey has not changed significantly from rates of 10.1%3.
According to the survey of general practice activity, sinusitis (acute/chronic) was managed in 1.4% of general practice encounters in 2008-094, over half the rate of encounters for asthma. Of these sinusitis encounters, 0.9% were new problems and 0.5% were ongoing problems5. By extrapolating this data to the total MBS item numbers for the year, new encounters of acute and chronic sinusitis could account for over 1,000,000 encounters per year in general practice in Australia. CRS contributes to a significant amount of healthcare expenditure due to direct costs arising from physician visits and medical treatment as well as indirect costs related to absence from work and general loss of productivity due to decreased quality of life of those affected7. CRS suffers have lower quality of life scores than patients with congestive heart failure, angina, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or back pain5.
