Rhinosinusitis is a common disease that is classified in acute (ARS) and chronic (CRS). The current Survey was conducted on a sample of about 5,000 adult subjects in 5 Italian cities. A questionnaire, containing 15 questions, was administered on the road. RS affects about 20% of the general population. The most common diagnostic test was the skull x-ray. Antibiotics were the most frequently prescribed therapy. In conclusion, the current Survey demonstrated that RS is a common disorder in Italy, the diagnostic work-up is still incorrect, and the therapeutic approach does not adhere to the guidelines. Therefore, there is a need to implement adequate information on this topic in Italy.
鼻窦炎是一种常见的疾病，可分为急性（ARS）和慢性（CRS）。目前的调查是在意大利 5 个城市的约 5000 名成年受试者中进行的。调查问卷，共 15 个问题，在路边进行。RS 影响约 20%的普通人群。最常见的诊断测试是颅骨 X 射线。抗生素是最常开的治疗药物。总之，目前的调查表明 RS 是意大利的一种常见疾病，诊断方法仍不正确，治疗方法也不符合指南。因此，有必要在意大利开展关于这一主题的充分信息。
