Abstract
OBJECTIVES The 22-question SinoNasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) assesses chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) severity. We aimed to identify predictors of SNOT-22 score improvement following highly effective modulator therapy (HEMT) initiation and to corroborate the SNOT-22 minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). METHODS Prospective observational data was pooled from four studies across 10 US centers investigating people with CF (PwCF) and CRS. Three studies evaluated HEMT's impact on CRS. For participants enrolled prior to HEMT initiation, SNOT-22 scores were obtained at baseline and after 3-6 months of HEMT. Multivariate regression identified predictors of improvement. Cronbach's alpha and four distribution-based methods were used to assess internal consistency and calculate the MCID of the SNOT-22. RESULTS A total of 184 PwCF participated with mean baseline SNOT-22 scores ranging from 18.1 to 56.7. Cronbach's alpha was ≥0.90 across sites. Participants at sites with pre- and post-HEMT data reported improvement in SNOT-22 scores after initiating HEMT (all p < 0.05). Worse baseline SNOT-22 score (odds ratio (OR): 1.05, p < 0.001, 95% CI: 1.02-1.08), F508del homozygosity (OR: 4.30, p = 0.040, 95% CI: 1.14-18.99), and absence of prior modulator therapy (OR: 4.99, p = 0.017, 95% CI: 1.39-20.11) were associated with greater SNOT-22 improvement. The mean MCID calculated via distribution-based methods was 8.5. CONCLUSION Worse baseline sinonasal symptoms, F508del homozygosity, and absence of prior modulator therapy predicted greater improvement after HEMT initiation. The mean MCID for SNOT-22 in PwCF is 8.5 points, similar to non-CF individuals with CRS, and provides a threshold specifically for PwCF. The SNOT-22 has strong internal consistency in PwCF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of comorbid migraine on quality of life (QOL) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). METHODS A total of 213 adult patients with CRS were recruited. All participants completed the 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), from which total and validated nasal, ear/facial pain, sleep, and emotional subdomain scores were calculated, and the 5-dimension EuroQol general health questionnaire (EQ-5D), from which the visual analogue scale (VAS) and health utility value (HUV) were calculated. The presence of comorbid migraine was determined by a score of ≥4 on the 5-item Migraine Screen Questionnaire (MS-Q). RESULTS Of the participants, 36.2% were screened positive for having comorbid migraine. The mean SNOT-22 score was 64.9 (SD: 18.7) in participants with migraine and 41.5 (SD: 21.1) in participants without migraine (p < 0.001). The mean EQ-5D VAS and HUV were 60.2 (SD: 21.9) and 0.69 (SD: 0.18), respectively, in participants with migraine and 71.4 (SD: 19.4) and 0.84 (SD: 0.13), respectively, in participants without migraine (p < 0.001 for both). Higher ear/facial pain (OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.10-1.36, p < 0.001) and sleep (OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.04-1.18, p = 0.002) SNOT-22 subdomain scores were positively associated with migraine. The SNOT-22 item scores related to dizziness, reduced concentration, and facial pain, in descending order, were most associated with migraine. The presence of nasal polyps (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.07 - 0.80, p = 0.020) was negatively associated with migraine. CONCLUSION Comorbid migraine may be relatively common amongst CRS patients, and its presence is associated with significantly worse QOL. Dizziness as a symptom in CRS patients may be particularly indicative of migraine. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 133:3279-3284, 2023.

Nasal Symptoms in Asthmatic Patients under Treatment with Anti-IL-5 Monoclonal Antibodies. A Real-Life Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11237056. [PMID: 36498632 PMCID: PMC9740481 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11237056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Currently, some monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are being studied for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Three anti-IL-5 mAb: mepolizumab, reslizumab and benralizumab, have been tested through randomized clinical trials. In this real-life study, we aimed to describe the nasal effects of a cohort of asthmatic adults treated with anti-IL-5 mAb. Methods: We carried out an observational study in adults (≥18 years) on anti-IL-5 mAb treatment. Variables included ACT and SNOT−22 questionnaires, nasal polyps score, blood total IgE levels and blood eosinophil count. Results: Overall, 38 participants were included in the study; 19 patients received mepolizumab, 17 were treated with benralizumab and 2 patients were given reslizumab. There was a statistically significant difference in the ACT and SNOT−22 scores before and after mAb treatment. ACT score increased from 11.05 to 21.5 after treatment (p < 0.001). SNOT−22 decreased from 57 to 37.3 after treatment (p = 0.004). No statistically significant differences between mAb groups were observed regarding the ACT or the SNOT−22 (p = 0.775) response (p = 0.775). In addition, 60.53% of patients obtained a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in SNOT−22. Conclusions: A significant clinical response based on SNOT−22 score evolution after anti-IL-5 mAb treatment was observed. This study also demonstrated that blood eosinophil count, rather than serum total IgE levels, is the best predictor of asthma symptom improvement, which was assessed through the ACT and SNOT−22 questionnaires.

Abstract
Background: The 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) is a widely used questionnaire to measure disease-specific health-related quality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The Dutch version has not been validated yet. Methods: The SNOT-22 was translated through a forward-backward translation technique and validated by a test-retest protocol in CRS patients, a responsiveness analysis in CRS patients treated with dupilumab, while using healthy individuals as controls. Results: The Dutch SNOT-22 showed excellent test-retest properties, good responsiveness to treatment with dupilumab, and a clear distinction between outcomes of CRS patients and healthy controls. Conclusion: The Dutch version of the SNOT-22 is a valid outcome measure in CRS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to determine how to translate visual analogue scale (VAS) symptom scores to the binary, descriptive symptom scales used in the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) criteria for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) disease control. METHODS 309 CRS patients were recruited. All patients rated their burden of 5 symptoms (nasal blockage, rhinorrhea/postnasal drip, facial pain/pressure, smell loss, sleep disturbance or fatigue) using the binary EPOS descriptive symptom scales and a VAS (on a scale of 0 to 10). In addition, participants completed a 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and rated their overall CRS disease control as "controlled", "partly controlled" or "uncontrolled". RESULTS Symptom burdens measured by VAS, binary descriptive EPOS scale and SNOT-22 were associated with worsening CRS disease control reported by participants. Each symptom had a distinct VAS score cut-off that strongly predicted the uncontrolled option on the corresponding binary descriptive EPOS symptom scale. However, the predictive ability of VAS for rhinorrhea/ postnasal drip was disparately worse than the other 4 symptoms. When considering all symptom data simultaneously, a VAS score >3.5 strongly predicted the uncontrolled option on the corresponding binary descriptive EPOS symptom scale for all 5 symptoms. CONCLUSIONS A VAS symptom score of >3.5 translates to the uncontrolled option in the binary, descriptive symptom scale of the EPOS control criteria. The rhinorrhea/postnasal drip descriptive symptom scale translates disparately worse to VAS scores and may be considered for revision in future criteria.

Effects of Surgical Treatment for Allergic Rhinitis on Sleep and Mental Health in Adolescents. SURGERIES 2022.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common chronic condition that is usually treated medically. Adolescents form a unique population in which AR-associated symptoms are greater than those in adults or children, and are closely related to sleep and mental disorders. In the current study, a retrospective analysis was performed to illustrate the surgical effects of AR symptoms on sleep and mental disorders in adolescents. In 81 adolescents with AR symptoms refractory to medical management, the severity of the AR symptoms was correlated with that of sleep or mental disorders. As a standard surgical procedure, submucosal bony resection of inferior turbinates with posterior nasal neurectomy was performed and half of the subjects underwent septoplasty due to severe deviation of the nasal septum. The degree of improvement in AR-associated symptoms by surgical treatment was correlated with that of mental disorders in adolescent patients who had sleep and mental disorders preoperatively. Considering the impact of AR symptoms on the quality of life of adolescents, surgical treatment can be a potent option for the treatment of AR refractory to medical management in this population.
