It is our hope that this summary of the evidence in RS will point out where additional research efforts can be directed. II. MethodsEach of 144 topics in RS was assigned to 1 of 76 rhinology experts worldwide.The amount of evidence in any given topic varied such that a few were assigned as literature reviews.The remaining topics that had substantial evidence were assigned as EBRRs or as evidence-based reviews only (EBRs), if they did not lend themselves to providing a recommendation, such as those addressing diagnosis and pathogenesis.For EBRs and EBRRs, the methodology of Rudmik and Smith 2 was followed for each of these sections.Briefly, a systematic review was performed with grading of all evidence.An initial author drafted a summary of the evidence, with an aggregate evidence grade and, where applicable, a structured recommendation.A multistage online semi-blinded iterative review process then refined each section.Following this thorough EBR and EBRR development and review with 3 to 4 rhinologists for each topic, the section manuscripts were then combined into a cohesive single document.The entire manuscript was then reviewed by all authors for consensus. III. ResultsThe resulting ICAR:RS document addresses a number of significant areas, including:
