“…None of the groups (except for the group that started with a mean SNOT‐22 score below that of the normal population) achieved postoperative scores below the normal mean of 9.2 . These persistent symptoms are likely to explain why, although achieving improved absolute changes in SNOT‐22 scores, those with higher preoperative scores are no more likely to rate the results of surgery as excellent or very good as those with lower scores.…”

“…The most widely accepted and best validated patient self-report symptom evaluation tool for use in CRS is the SNOT-22, whose 22 items incorporate both nasal and non-nasal symptoms (Hopkins,5,6 Within SNOT-22, self-reported symptom severity is graded from 0 to 5, with five being a severe problem. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are a means of collecting information on the effectiveness of care delivered to patients, as perceived by the patients themselves, and are increasingly important in clinical practice and in research 2-4 on a background of increasing costs of healthcare across the world.…”

Objectives: To assess SNOT-22 and its subscales in a nonrhinosinusitis UK-wide population. Design: Self-reported questionnaire. Setting: Based from 30 ENT departments around the UK. Participants: 250 Non-rhinosinusitis adultsno selfreported nasal problems in the past, no chronic conditions undergoing active treatment and no hospital admissions in the preceding 12 months. Main outcome measures: SNOT-22, SF-36. a Members of the "CRES Group" are presented in Appendix 1.

“…These near perfect CRSsNP patients had a mean SNOT-22 score of 21.6, which was 4 to 5 points worse than non-CRS controls and CRSwNP patients with near perfect endoscopy (Table 7). Previous studies have reported normative data for the SNOT-22 in non-CRS patients with a mean as low as 7 16 , however these studies typically examined medical students or other populations that were not matched for age, gender, co-morbidities and environmental exposures 1718–20 . When we compared our CRS cohort to a matched non-CRS cohort, we found that a “normal” SNOT-22 is approximately 16, thus this should realistically be the goal for our CRS patients, rather than a “perfect” score of 0.…”

Background After endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), endoscopy is used to gauge surgical success and clinical outcomes. Prior studies have not examined this topic prospectively using validated outcome metrics across multiple institutions. Methods A multi-institutional, prospective study of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) who underwent ESS completed the SinoNasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), missed productivity and medication usage questionnaires 6 months postoperatively. Lund-Kennedy endoscopy scoring (LKES) was performed with reviewers blinded to patient-reported data. A control cohort of non-CRS patients was recruited for comparison. Results Complete data was available on 183 CRS patients and 48 non-CRS control patients. Approximately 50% of patients achieve perfect or near perfect endoscopy (LKES 0-2) after ESS. Postoperative endoscopy correlated with total SNOT-22 scores (r=0.278, p<0.001), with the strongest correlations to rhinologic and extra-nasal subdomains in the nasal polyp cohort. Improved postoperative endoscopy was associated with decreased antibiotic and oral steroid usage, but had little association with missed productivity. Among patients who achieved near perfect postoperative endoscopy, those with nasal polyps had SNOT-22 scores that were similar to non-CRS control patients (mean SNOT-22 17.7 and 16.3, respectively). However, CRS patients without nasal polyps remained more symptomatic than non-CRS controls and CRS with nasal polyp patients despite nearly perfect endoscopy (mean SNOT-22 21.6). Conclusions Postoperative endoscopy correlates with SNOT-22 and medication usage in CRS patients. Polyp patients who achieve near perfect endoscopy have similar symptoms to healthy controls, however, non-polyp patients with near perfect endoscopy still have rhinologic and extra-nasal symptoms that are worse than healthy controls.
