1. Characterize patient visits for chronic rhinosinusitis, based on age, gender, race, diagnostic services, and medication use. 2. Evaluate regional differences in patient visits for chronic rhinosinusitis. Analysis of cross-sectional survey data from two national databases of ambulatory medical encounters. Not applicable. Four years (2003–2006) of data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey were analyzed. Visits involving chronic rhinosinusitis were identified using reported diagnostic codes from the International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision. They were weighted to provide national estimates of care. Data were analyzed with Pearson chi squared using SPSS 16.2 Complex Samples Module, taking into account the complex survey design and multiple time periods. 4,617 patient visits for chronic rhinosinusitis were identified, accounting for 1.95% of all visits. By applying weights to this sample, these visits represent 91.2 million national visits. A significantly higher proportion of visits in the South involved African-Americans (Pearson chi squared=69.5, F=6.7, df=2.8, 2118, p<0.01). Significantly fewer diagnostic services were provided or ordered in the Northeast (chi squared=64.8, F=4.0, df=4.3, 3247, p<0.01). Providers in the Northeast were also significantly less likely to order or renew more than 3 medications at the visit (chi squared=54.0, F=3.1, df=2.6, 1930, p<0.05). No regional differences were seen for age, gender or setting type. Significant regional variations exist for chronic rhinosinusitis in patient demographics, diagnosis and management. Continuing research is needed to refine physician awareness, evaluation and treatment of this disorder.
