“…To study changes in QoL in children with CRS after surgical therapy, Rudnick and Mitchell demonstrated that CRS severely impacts QoL in children (n = 22) as documented by caregivers using the SN-5 questionnaire. After 24 months, either adenoidectomy or ESS, caregivers report a dramatic improvement in childrenÕs QoL (68). Sinusitis outcomes questionnaire.…”

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) including nasal polyps is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa that, despite differing hypotheses of its cause, remains poorly understood. Primary symptoms are nasal blockage, loss of smell, rhinorrhea, and facial pain or pressure. Chronic rhinosinusitis causes significant physical symptoms, has a negative impact on quality of life (QoL), and can substantially impair daily functioning. A global evaluation of patients must include, together with nasal symptoms, nasal endoscopy, and CT scan, the measurement of QoL. To assess QoL in CRS, specific and generic questionnaires may be used. Chronic rhinosinusitis has a considerable impact on a patient’s QoL but comorbidities, such as asthma and atopy, have an accumulative negative effect. Both medical and surgical treatments lead to a similar improvement on the QoL of CRS and nasal polyp patients.

Abstract:The treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) requires an increasing use of medical and economic resources. Therefore, the assessment of objective and subjective outcome of different treatment strategies is of considerable interest.Validated quality of life (QOL) instruments are one important means to assess subjective outcome of the patients. Frequently used generic instruments are the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) for prospective evaluations and the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) for retrospective evaluations. Normative data and numerous comparative data sets collected from various diseases are available for the SF-36.Disease-specific QOL instruments for CRS have been developed over the last 15 years. In this review 11 disease-specific instruments are discussed. Only four of these instruments cover all four main symptoms of CRS and are completely validated as well. Most frequently used instruments (Sino-Nasal Outcome Test, SNOT-20; Chronic Sinusitis Survey, CSS) do not query all the main symptoms of CRS.

“…Sinusitis can be diagnosed clinically in patients with symptoms, e.g. a stuffy nose, suppurative nasal discharge, backward flow of nasal discharge, sense of facial oppression, headache, and hyposmia, as well as CT findings that support sinusitis [1,2]. Sinusitis may be acute or chronic, and chronic rhinosinusitis can be diagnosed if the aforementioned symptoms persist for 12 weeks or longer [3].…”

“…If not treated, sinusitis not only presents with the aforementioned symptoms, but it also causes intraocular and intracranial complications. Moreover, chronic rhinosinusitis impairs the affection and QOL in children [1]. Currently, chronic rhinosinusitis is usually treated with medication and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS); medical treatment is preferred.…”

The SNOT-20-based assessment showed that the overall quality of life differed significantly before and after surgery (p = 0.000) and that some symptoms (dizziness, sense of facial oppression, sleep difficulty, embarrassment, and fatigue) had no significant differences before and after surgery (p > 0.05). Preoperative and postoperative symptoms (dizziness, sense of facial oppression, sleep difficulty, embarrassment, and fatigue) showed no significant differences between the healthy population and treated patients (p > 0.05).
