SAHP launches into ABRS Guideline update by Timothy Smith



The Sinus and Allergy Health Partnership (SAHP), comprised of representatives from the American Rhinologic Society (ARS), the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) and the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy (AAOA) is a critical collaboration between our societies and allows for important initiatives to be undertaken on behalf of all otolaryngologists practicing nasal and sinus medicine and surgery.

The SAHP is currently recruiting a multidisciplinary panel for the purposes of updating the Antimicrobial Treatment Guidelines for Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis (ABRS) last published in January 2004. Panelists will be selected from the otolaryngology societies as well as from other disciplines including infectious disease, internal medicine, family practice, and general allergy, among others. It is anticipated that the guideline will be ready for publication/distribution in the next 18 months.
