We evaluated whether EPs 7630 prescription in patients with acute sinusitis (AS) is associated with less frequent recurrence of AS, occurrence of chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps, or fewer antibiotic prescriptions. This retrospective cohort study used electronic medical records from the IQVIA Disease Analyzer database. Associations between initial therapy [EPs 7630, antibiotics, intranasal corticosteroid (INCS), or corticosteroid-free nasal spray within 3 days of AS diagnosis] and AS recurrence, incidence of chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps or rate of antibiotic prescription were studied using multivariable Cox or logistic regression models, adjusting for sex, age, insurance status, month of diagnosis, and comorbidity.
