Quality of life outcomes of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis after functional endoscopic sinus surgery, prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the outcome of patients with unilateral CRSsNP (U CRSsNP) and bilateral CRSsNP (B CRSsNP) undergoing FESS. Also, we evaluate the impact of SNOT-22 domains to predict their quality of life (QOL) outcomes and compare these factors with those of CRSwNP group, published in previous work.

Methods

A prospective cohort study was performed in the hospital 20 August,66 patients who were presented between January 2016 and December 2017 were diagnosed with CRS according to guideline recommendations, and were beforehand refractory to initial medical therapy and elected to FESS. The Sino Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) was used to evaluate QOL.

Results

A higher significant improvement was observed between preoperative and postoperative SNOT-22 scores in U CRSsNP group [37.13?±?9.307 versus 14.11?±?8.531] and in B CRSsNP group [41.76?±?6.949 versus 18.57?±?8.495]. In the U CRSsNP group, patients having a preoperative SNOT-22 score higher than 20 points attained MCID in 88%. For the other group, patients having preoperative SNOT-22 score superior to 40 points achieved MCID in 66%. A multivariate logistic regression model found preoperative predictors that have impact on QOL outcomes.

Conclusions

Outcomes from this study suggest that patients with U CRSsNP having a preoperative SNOT-22 scores between 10 and 19, and patients with B CRSsNP having a preoperative SNOT-22 scores between 10 and 19 or 20-29 had no chance of achieving an MCID improvement after FESS. Also, preoperative rhinologic symptoms and preoperative psychological dysfunction domains of SNOT-22 are helpful tools to predict improvement after FESS unlike the unilateral character of CRS.

Project description:ImportancePatient-reported measures are designed to detect a true change in outcome, but they are also subject to change from biases inherent to self-reporting: changing internal standards, changing priorities, and changing interpretations of a given instrument. These biases are collectively known as "response shifts" and can obscure true change after medical interventions.ObjectiveTo determine the presence of response shifts in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) after endoscopic sinus surgery.Design, setting, and participantsMultisite, prospective, observational cohort study conducted at academic tertiary care centers between February 2011 and May 2013. Study participants comprised a population-based sample of 514 adults (age ≥18 years) with CRS, who elected surgical intervention for continuing medically refractory symptoms.InterventionEndoscopic sinus surgery.Main outcomes and measuresPreoperative and postoperative data from the 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) survey instrument was characterized using exploratory factor analysis. Subsequent longitudinal structural equation models were estimated to test structure, potential response shifts, and true change in the SNOT-22 scores.ResultsA total of 339 participants (66.0%) provided survey evaluations at baseline and 6-month follow-up. Factor analysis of the SNOT-22 revealed 5 correlated, yet distinguishable, underlying factors. Endoscopic sinus surgery had a differential impact across these factors, with the largest effect size in rhinologic symptoms (mean [SD] SNOT-22 scores before and after surgery, 13.18 [5.11] and 7.37 [5.48], respectively; d = -1.13 [P < .001]) and extranasal rhinologic symptoms (8.31 [3.46] and 4.83 [3.68], respectively; d = -1.00 [P < .05]) (d is an effect size measure defined as the difference in means divided by the presurgery SD). Endoscopic sinus surgery had a smaller, yet significant, effect size on the remaining 3 factors: ear/facial symptoms (7.32 [4.6]) and 3.90 [4.07], respectively; d = -0.74 [P < .001]), psychological dysfunction (11.90 [7.21] and 6.50 [6.69], respectively; d = -0.75 [P < .05]), and sleep dysfunction (10.12 [5.59] and 5.88 [5.37], respectively; d = -0.76 [P < .001]). Participants were found to undergo recalibration, reprioritization, and reconceptualization of symptoms after intervention; however, the magnitude of these response shifts was small and not clinically significant.Conclusions and relevanceThe SNOT-22 measures 5 distinct factors, not a single construct. Reporting of individual subscale scores may improve sensitivity of this instrument in future studies. Participants undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery experience only clinically insignificant response shifts, validating assessment of change through use of presurgery and postsurgery SNOT-22 responses.Trial registrationclinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01332136.

Project description:IntroductionChronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial naso-sinusal inflammatory disease that affects 2-4% of the adult population. It highly affects the patient quality of life (QoL) in many levels making it a public health issue. The management of CRSwNP is based on a detailed clinical history, a complete endoscopic examination and a precise computed tomographic (CT) analysis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and severity of the various CRS clinical manifestations as well as to highlight the potential relationship between symptom scores, asthma and ESS outcomes.Patients and methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed in the 20 August hospital, between January 2017 and December 2018, on patients diagnosed with CRS according to guidelines recommendations, and were beforehand refractory to initial medical therapy and elected to FESS. The patients were divided into two groups, the first group (G1) of patients with asthma and the second (G2) without asthma in order to expose an eventual significant difference in the improvement of symptoms after surgery. The Sino Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) was used to evaluate QOL.ResultsA total of 100 patients participated in the study with an average age of 44.53 years. The sex ratio was 1.04 (51% men). Asthma was present in 48% of patients while 20% of patients were intolerant to aspirin with a significant difference between the asthmatic and non-asthmatic group (p < 0.05). It appears that asthma was not objectively correlated with a higher Lund Mackay radiological score (p > 0.05). A higher significant improvement was observed between preoperative and postoperative SNOT-22 scores in group with asthma [42.7 ± 16.3 versus 11.8 ± 9.1] and in group without asthma [38.3 ± 15.1 versus 10.5 ± 14.2].ConclusionAsthma in CRS is an additional symptom in these patients, mainly reflected in the subset of nasal symptoms in SNOT-22. However, it did not significantly affect the quality of life of the CRSwNP population.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:There is little consensus regarding the prognostic value of symptom duration in predicting clinical disease severity or quality-of-life (QOL) outcomes in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Our objectives were to: 1) determine if patients with longer symptom duration have worse preoperative disease severity and/or QOL, and 2) determine if delayed surgical intervention influences outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). METHODS:Patients diagnosed with CRS were prospectively enrolled into a multicenter cohort study and observed 14.7 (standard deviaton {SD}?±?4.8) months on average following primary ESS. Preoperative symptom duration was stratified into short-term (<?12 months), middle-term (12-60 months), and long-term (>?60 months). Disease severity was assessed using endoscopy and computed tomography. Disease-specific QOL was measured with the 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and Rhinosinusitis Disability Index. Adjusted bivariate and multivariate associations between symptom duration, disease severity, and QOL scores were evaluated. RESULTS:One hundred and thirteen patients met inclusion criteria with 35 patients lost to postoperative follow-up. No significant differences in preoperative disease severity or QOL scores were reported between symptom duration subgroups. Participants in the long-term symptom subgroup reported significantly greater mean postoperative improvement on SNOT-22 total scores (n?=?28; -36.3[±?22.2]) compared to both short-term (n?=?27; -23.4[SD?±?11.3]; P?=?0.039) and middle-term (n?=?23; -23.5[SD?±?20.1]; P?=?0.050) subgroups. Postoperative QOL improvements in the long-term symptom subgroup remained significantly greater (P???0.036) after multivariate adjustment. CONCLUSIONS:Symptom duration was not associated with mean preoperative disease severity or QOL. Patients with long-term symptom duration reported the greatest mean postoperative QOL improvement, suggesting that delayed surgical intervention may not reduce QOL improvements following ESS.
