Evaluation of the quality of life of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis by means of the SNOT-22 questionnaire

Twenty‐two–item Sino‐Nasal Outcome Test in a control population: a cross‐sectional study and systematic review

“…Regarding asthma in control populations, 2 studies in our systematic review noted a higher prevalence of asthma in their CRS populations than in their controls, although de Dorlodot et al . were unable to find an interaction with asthma and SNOT‐22 in their cohort . Lange et al .…”

“…Of these, 29 were selected based on title or abstract. After full‐text screening, 13 articles were selected for inclusion in the systematic review and 10 articles were pooled for meta‐analysis. One of the 10 articles was obtained by author correspondence and another was retrieved from the references of 1 of the fully screened texts .…”

“…In CRS patients with preoperative scores <20, it has been shown that FESS is unlikely to yield clinical improvement . Pretreatment SNOT‐22 scores across multiple studies have been between 40 and 60, and following intervention have shown notable improvement . A recent study examining the 4 CRS subtypes found no difference between groups for preoperative SNOT‐22 scores, and all groups showed significant improvement following surgery, with mean posteroperative scores ranging between approximately 10 and 25 .…”

Influence of age and gender in the normal values of Sino Nasal Outcome Test–22

“…Comparing 15 sinonasal questionnaires, SNOT‐22 was considered the most suitable patient‐reported outcome measure for evaluating patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, including patients submitted to functional sinus surgery, because of its reliability, validity, responsiveness and easy application, leading the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) 2012 to recommend the use of SNOT‐22 in chronic rhinosinusitis, both in research or in clinical practice. The Brazilian validated version of SNOT‐22 retains the positive features of the original version, including greater responsiveness after treatment, and has been used in Brazilian research involving chronic rhinosinusitis in the last few years.…”

Evaluation of pre-operative sino-nasal outcome test- 22 scores as a predictor of outcome in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis

“…Also, Marambaia et al in their another study reported that CRS reduces the quality of life of patients, according to the SNOT-22 questionnaire. 19 They stated that the impact of the CRS was reduced even among the patients with the indication for surgery. Both groups scored over 40.…”
