ADVENT on Air: OCS in CRSwNP Podcast

Listen to experts, Dr. Amber Luong and Dr. Marjolein Cornet, discuss the significant burden of oral corticosteroid (OCS) use in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and its short-term, long-term, and cumulative risks, particularly for patients with coexisting conditions like asthma. Experts highlight the need for improved multidisciplinary approaches and OCS-sparing strategies to optimize patient care.

Learning objectives

  • Highlight patient and physician perspectives on the burden of OCS for patients with CRSwNP
  • Raise awareness of increased use of OCS for patients with comorbid CRSwNP and asthma
  • Discuss approaches to mitigate the risks associated with OCS overuse for patients with uncontrolled CRSwNP

Description

Join Dr. Amber Luong and Dr. Marjolein Cornet as they break down the critical issue of oral corticosteroid (OCS) use in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This conversation explores the often-underrecognized short-term, long-term, and cumulative risks associated with OCS, emphasizing the compounded challenges for patients with comorbid type 2 inflammatory diseases like asthma. They also discuss the current landscape of OCS use and advocate for OCS-sparing strategies and better multidisciplinary coordination to improve outcomes and minimize steroid exposure for patients with CRSwNP.
