POSTERS Conclusion:The present review suggests that the routine use of systemic perioperative prophylactic antibiotics does not reduce the rate of infections or improve the outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery and, therefore, should not be automatically prescribed. Rhinology/Allergy Predictive Factors of Depression on Outcomes in Chronic Rhinosinusitis after Endoscopic Sinus SurgeryFrancisco G. Pernas, MD (presenter); Sharon Hughes; Andrew M. Coughlin, MD; Patricia Maeso, MD Objective: The improvement in quality of life after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has been well documented. However, oftentimes patients' mental health is not assessed, ignored, or attributed to other causes. There is a lack of evidence that chronic rhinosinusitis can cause mental anguish and depression, which affects outcomes after FESS.Method: Patients were selected from a busy rhinology tertiary care center. Prior to ESS, participants were given a depression scale and a SNOT-20 sinonasal symptomatology questionnaire, and endoscopic scores were noted. Participants repeated questionnaires at 6 weeks and 3 months after ESS. Endoscopic scores were noted at all three visits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
