OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) who experience minimal reductions in quality of life (QoL) may present for treatment despite QoL scores comparable to controls without CRS. This study seeks to identify cofactors influencing patients with CRS and low 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores to seek care. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, multicenter, observationa...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study paper was to culturally adapt and validate the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) questionnaire for Moroccan Arabic speaking patients. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary referral center; Ibn Rochd University Hospital, Casablanca, Morocco. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The SNOT-22 was conducted in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis...

OBJECTIVES We set out to determine the psychometric validation of a disease-specific health related quality of life instrument for use in chronic rhinosinusitis, the 22 item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), a modification of a pre-existing instrument, the SNOT-20. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The National Comparative Audit of Surgery for Nasal Polyposis and Chronic Rhinosinusitis was a p...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS It is becoming increasingly important for clinicians to demonstrate the impact of their interventions. The Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) questionnaire is a disease-specific questionnaire involving 22 symptoms combining rhinologic issues with general health issues. We evaluated the SNOT-22 score as a quality-of-life outcome measure in septorhinoplasty surgery. STUD...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS With the aim of facilitating preference-sensitive decision making regarding elective endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), we set out to evaluate the predictive value of the 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) patient-reported outcome measure and to compare outcomes of a UK cohort with a similar United States/Canadian-based study. STUDY DE...

BACKGROUND A number of factors are critical when considering the expected benefit of surgical intervention in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) who have failed medical therapy. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the Sino-nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and other patient demographic characteristics as predictors of postsurgical improvement in patients with CRS. METHODS Consecutive adult subjects pr...

BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is becoming increasingly prevalent in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), as the median age of survival rises for these individuals. Delayed identification of CRS may contribute to worsening health-related quality of life and increased treatment burden. Our objective was to investigate the utility of the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) as a tool t...

UNLABELLED Rhinosinusitis is a highly prevalent disease and a major cause of high medical costs. It has been proven to have an impact on the quality of life through generic health-related quality of life assessments. However, generic instruments may not be able to factor in the effects of interventions and treatments. SNOT-22 is a major disease-specific instrument to assess quality of life for ...

UNLABELLED SNOT-22 is a questionnaire used to assess the quality of life of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). It is broadly utilized to assess the surgical treatment of patients with CRS. In Brazil there are no studies utilizing the SNOT-22 in non-surgical patients. OBJECTIVE To use the SNOT-22 questionnaire to assess the quality of life of individuals with chronic rhinosinusitis wi...
