Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The proportion of subjects with clinical improvement in the symptoms of the disease assessed by the researcher-clinician on the 4th day from the start of drug administration. Efficacy is evaluated on the basis of the reduction and disappearance of the main subjective and objective symptoms of bacterial rhinosinusitis - the severity of difficulty in nasal breathing, the nature and severity of discharge from the nose, pain when palpating the projection of the paranasal sinuses, temperature reaction, headache, the presence and severity of general malaise.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Frequency and severity of symptoms of dysbiosis in the background of the studied therapy on the 4th, 17th day after the start of therapy. 2. Proportion of patients with persistent or worsening signs of infection on the 4th day from the start of treatment, requiring replacement of antibiotic therapy. 3. Assessment of gut microbial community diversity based on the assessment of the variability of 16S genes of ribosomal RNA on the 4th, 17th day from the start of therapy and the 60th day after completion of therapy compared to the initial level. 4. Frequency of adverse events, their severity and relationship with the studied therapy.
