Mitchell Neil Bhattacharyya Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery AbstractTopical budesonide irrigations are frequently prescribed after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) to manage mucosal inflammation. However, this off‐label indication may conflict with health insurance formularies. We sought to quantify the relative frequency of postoperative budesonide prescriptions to determine if this could be considered common practice after ESS. We extracted and analyzed postoperative prescription data for patients undergoing ESS from 2016 to 2022 within our health care system. Overall, among 8157 ESS patients, 15.9% and 22.1% received topical budesonide prescriptions within 30 or 180 days postoperatively, respectively. On a year‐over‐year basis, budesonide prescription frequency increased significantly over time, culminating at 20.3% and 24.9% in 2022. Conversely, postoperative oral corticosteroid (OCS) prescriptions showed a decreasing frequency over the same time period (P < .001). Our results show topical budesonide irrigations are increasingly frequently prescribed after ESS and may offset postoperative OCS requirements. This argues for coverage of topical budesonide as a formulary medication after ESS. 10.1002/ohn.788 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
