Article Synopsis
- Sinonasal neoplasms (both benign and malignant) are complex issues for clinicians, highlighting the need for collaboration to improve patient care, as presented in the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT).
- The ICSNT document organizes findings into four main sections: general principles, benign neoplasms, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life, covering 48 specific topics and providing evidence-based recommendations and summaries based on their rigor.
- This comprehensive document reflects a collective effort from an international team to advance understanding and intervention methods for sinonasal neoplasms, while also identifying future research opportunities.

January 2024
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the presence of implicit bias among ENT surgeons and explore the impact of the results of the Implicit Association Test on the surgeons' behaviour towards patients.
Method: Seven ENT surgeons who were not black, Asian or minority ethnic were asked to complete the Race Implicit Association Test. The surgeons also completed a survey about their perceptions of their implicit biases and the impact of the Race Implicit Association Test results on their behaviour towards patients.

Core outcome sets aim to address this by defining a small number of essential outcomes that should be measured in all effectiveness trials. Adoption in routine clinical practice can further improve outcomes for patients.
