Monos S, Yan F, McLean CC. Predicting Adherence to Topical Medications in Chronic Rhinologic Disease: A Systematic Review. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2024. [PMID: 38822756 DOI: 10.1002/ohn.836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine risk factors of medical adherence and describe strategies to increase adherence in patients with chronic rhinologic disease. DATA SOURCES PubMED, SCOPUS, CINAHL, and Cochrane. REVIEW METHODS Systematic review of 4 databases (PubMED, SCOPUS, CINAHL, Cochrane) from inception of databases to September 1, 2022 to identify studies that evaluated factors related to and affected by medical adherence in patients with chronic rhinologic disease. RESULTS Of 1491 studies screened, 25 studies met inclusion criteria. Of these, 7 studies described how sensory attributes of intranasal sprays affect adherence, including odor, taste, aftertaste, and side effects. Five studies described record keeping diaries/notification systems to improve adherence, with demonstration of web-based platforms to send reminders as well as keep record of medication usage to improve adherence. Eight studies described patient-specific risk factors to nonadherence, with demonstration of increased age and conscientious personalities correlating with medical adherence. Five studies looked at pediatric patients specifically, with adherence rates in children parallelling that of adults. Additionally, nonadherence in children may have greater implications for school performance. CONCLUSION Overall, adherence to topical medical therapy in patients with chronic rhinologic disease is affected by patient-related and medication-specific factors which should be considered when counseling patients. Web-based diary or notification systems may help increase adherence. Additionally, children are equally adherent to topical medical therapy as adults and nonadherence may have negative implications for school performance.

Norelli F, Schiappoli M, Senna G, Pinter P, Olivieri B, Ottaviano G, De Corso E, Caminati M. Adherence to Intranasal Steroids in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis Prior to and during Biologic Therapy: A Neglected Matter. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1066. [PMID: 38398379 PMCID: PMC10889709 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13041066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Adherence to treatment is essential in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). Intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) are the first-line therapy, followed by systemic corticosteroids and surgery if needed. In cases of refractory disease, biologics are added to conventional treatment, making adherence to INCS crucial in assessing eligibility for these targeted therapies. The purpose of this review is to examine INCS adherence assessment and rate, before starting and during biologic therapy. We conducted a comprehensive literature review focusing on INCS adherence in CRSwNP treated with biologics, including randomized controlled trials and real-life studies. The search extended to studies on allergic and non-allergic rhinitis to provide broader insights into tools to assess the INCS adherence. The result was that adherence to INCS in CRSwNP is underexplored, with only a few studies addressing it directly. Various tools for adherence assessment have been identified, but none are universally accepted as standard. The review also highlights the complexity of factors influencing adherence rates. Effective CRSwNP management requires a paradigm shift to prioritize adherence in treatment guidelines and clinical practice. The review advocates for improved adherence assessment tools, a deeper understanding of influencing factors, and the integration of personalized medicine approaches, especially for biologic therapies.

Pharmacology, particle deposition and drug administration techniques of intranasal corticosteroids for treating allergic rhinitis. Clin Exp Allergy 2022; 52:1247-1263.

Abstract
This review presents an overview of the available literature regarding intranasal corticosteroids (INCs) for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). Various treatment options exist for AR including INCs, antihistamines and leucotriene antagonists. INCs are considered to be the most effective therapy for moderate-to-severe AR, as they are effective against nasal and ocular symptoms and improve quality of life. Their safety has been widely observed. INCs are effective and safe for short-term use. Local adverse events are observed but generally well-tolerated. The occurrence of (serious) systemic adverse events is unlikely but cannot be ruled out. There is a lack of long-term safety data. INC may cause serious eye complications. The risk of INCs on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, on bone mineral density reduction or osteoporosis and on growth in children, should be considered during treatment. Pharmacological characteristics of INCs (e.g. the mode of action and pharmacokinetics) are well known and described. We sought to gain insight into whether specific properties affect the efficacy and safety of INCs, including nasal particle deposition, which the administration technique affects. However, advances are lacking regarding the improved understanding of the effect of particle deposition on efficacy and safety and the effect of the administration technique. This review emphasizes the gaps in knowledge regarding this subject. Advances in research and health care are necessary to improve care for patients with AR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This project aims to prospectively and objectively assess otolaryngological manifestations and quality of life of children with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and compare these findings with healthy pediatric controls. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING Two high-volume pediatric PCD specialty centers. METHODS Standardized clinical assessment; Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 22 (SNOT-22); Hearing Environment and Reflection Quality of Life (HEAR-QL); Reflux Symptom Index (RSI); standardized physical examination of the sinonasal, laryngeal, and otological systems; and investigations including pure-tone audiograms (PTAs) and sinonasal cultures were collected. RESULTS Forty-seven children with PCD and 25 control participants were recruited. Children with PCD had more upper airway symptoms than healthy children. They had significantly higher scores in both SNOT-22 and RSI, indicating worse sinonasal and reflux symptoms, with worse quality of life on the HEAR-QL index compared to healthy children (P < .05). Fifty-two percent of children with PCD-related hearing loss were not aware of their hearing deficit that was present on audiological assessment, and only 23% of children who had ventilation tubes had chronic otorrhea, most of which was easily controlled with ototopic drops. Furthermore, although all children with PCD had chronic rhinosinusitis, only 36% of them were using topical nasal treatment. The most common bacteria cultured from the middle meatus were Staphylococcus aureus in 11 of 47 (23%), followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae in 10 of 47 (21%). CONCLUSION This multisite cohort highlights the importance of otolaryngology involvement in the management of children with PCD. More rigorous otolaryngological management may lead to reductions in overall morbidity and improve quality of life for children with PCD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify challenges in the application of GRADE for diagnosis when assessing the certainty of evidence in the test-treatment strategy (diagnostic accuracy, test burden, management effectiveness, natural course, linked evidence) in an illustrative example and to propose solutions to these challenges. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A case study in applying GRADE for diagnosis that looked at the added value of IgE for diagnosing allergic rhinitis. RESULTS Evaluation of the full test-treatment strategy showed a lack of (high-quality) evidence for all elements. In our example, we found a lack of evidence for test burden, natural course, and link between the test result and clinical management. Overall, systematically reviewing the evidence for all elements of a test-treatment strategy is more time-consuming than only considering test accuracy results and management effectiveness. For increasing efficiency, the guideline panel could determine critical elements of the test-treatment strategy that need a systematic review of the evidence. For less critical elements, a guideline panel can rely on gray literature and professional expertise. CONCLUSION A lack of high-quality evidence and time investment if the full test-treatment strategy is assessed, creating challenges in applying GRADE for diagnosis. Discussion within guideline panels about critical elements that need to be reviewed might help.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a frequent disorder. From a clinical and an immunopathological point of view, different phenotypes and endotypes have been identified. The frequent comorbidity with asthma allowed to pave the way to the use of biological agents for the treatment of CRSwNP. Biological agents are targeted to antagonize IgE, interleukin (IL) 4, IL-5, and IL-13 at present. However, a correct and appropriate workup is mandatory, mainly concerning the exact definition of the specific pheno-endotype. The preliminary outcomes are promising, even though there is a need for well-established indications, criteria of responsiveness, duration, and safety. On the other hand, this personalized medicine could be fruitfully integrated with gold-standard medications, such as intranasal corticosteroids. As CRSwNP is a chronic disorder, treatment should be long-lasting, so complementary anti-inflammatory treatments could be opportunely integrated and/or alternated to steroids. (www.actabiomedica.it)

Abstract
Introduction: Asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) are chronic conditions in which management needs adherence to prescribed drugs. Despite the benefits of regular maintenance of asthma and AR therapy, low adherence is a frequent issue in clinical practice. Areas covered: The aim of this review is to provide a targeted analysis of the more recent literature on adherence in asthma and AR, focused on the following areas: adherence extent, barriers and consequences, effects of educational interventions and use of new technologies to improve the level of adherence. Expert commentary: Despite the extent, reasons and effects of this problem being well known, non-adherence in asthma and allergic AR remains worryingly high. Poor adherence leads to unsatisfactory health outcomes, with a negative impact on patients and society. Recent literature suggests that successful programs to improve adherence should include a combination of strategies. The new technologies represent a promising tool to improve adherence.

Abstract
This study aimed to elucidate the appropriate physical characteristics that are clinically acceptable for gummi formulations. We prepared 11 placebo gummi formulations containing different amounts of gelatin and water and evaluated their penetration and restitution using a penetrometer and rheometer, respectively. Clinical sensory tests in 16 healthy volunteers (age, 23.4±0.9 years, mean±standard deviation) were conducted on the placebo gummi formulations using the visual analog scale (VAS) score to evaluate elasticity, hardness, and overall palatability, with a 5-point rating scale of preference. The penetration increased with decreasing amounts of gelatin or increasing amounts of water in the gummi formulations. Similarly, the VAS score of elasticity and hardness from the clinical sensory tests increased with increasing amounts of gelatin but decreased with increasing amounts of water. The relationship between the penetration and VAS scores of elasticity and hardness revealed good linear correlations. This suggests that the penetration was well reflected by the hardness results of the clinical VAS scores. The overall palatability evaluated using the VAS score increased until the penetration was 10 mm and then plateaued at >10 mm penetration. The 5-point rating score for preference revealed that >50% of volunteers "prefer" the gummi formulations with penetration values of 9.8 to 13.5 mm. These results suggest that gummi formulations likely have an appropriate window of hardness. Furthermore, appropriate gummi formulations with clinically preferred physical characteristics could be prepared by adjusting the amount of gelatin and water and measuring their penetration.
