These clinical practice guidelines aim at providing assistance mainly to primary health care physicians for the diagnosis and management of acute sinusitis. Despite the huge impact of upper respiratory infections, criteria for diagnoses are often vague, and physicians are often uncertain of their diagnoses. This is not surprising, as the sole definition of acute sinusitis is somewhat confusing, not to mention the existing discrepancies between treatments, even among specialists. The Finnish Society of Otorhinolaryngology has set up a committee to evaluate existing data on acute sinusitis and to formulate these guidelines. The committee comprised Finnish experts in adult and paediatric otorhinolaryngology, clinical microbiology, radiology, paediatrics, and epidemiology. Recommendations given are based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, with the level of evidence presented.
