Abstract

Aims: The aim of the work is to compare 3 different Guidelines for Management of ABRS and determine the most appropriate Guideline to be adopted by the Egyptian patients. Methodology: This was a prospective study conducted on 90 consecutive patients selected from the outpatient clinic of Otorhinolaryngology department at Tanta university hospital within the period from December 2019 to December 2020. Results: The Arabic version of nose scale distribution among studied groups before and after intervention. Before intervention, there were no statistically significant differences among the three studied groups and among each other’s (P>0.05). After intervention, there were highly statistically significant differences among the three studied groups and each other’s (P<0.001) being highly decreased in group 2 followed by group A and lastly group C. Paired t test demonstrated highly statistically significant difference before and after intervention in the three studied groups (P<0.001). Conclusion: In conclusion, the current study reported that, the three approaches demonstrated promising outcomes for management of ABRS in terms of SNOT as well as Arabic version of nose scale. However, Epos 2020 Guidelines of ARS were demonstrated to be associated with the most promising ones.
