Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyps (CRSw/sNP) are common conditions decreasing health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Individual symptoms capable of predicting outcome after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) are poorly defined, and the indirect costs of CRS is rarely reported in Europe. METHODOLOGY Patients with CRSw/sNP admitted for ESS were prospectively enrolled. Patients completed the 22 Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), the short-form 36-item questionnaire (SF-36), a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and reported CRS-related absenteeism pre- and post-operatively. RESULTS 181 patients were included. The SNOT-22 score diminished from 51.8 (48.7-55.0) pre-operatively to 33.0 (29.2-36.8) at 6 months. 64% achieved a clinically important improvement in the SNOT-22. SF-36 scores improved statistically significantly in all domains except Role Emotional. The VAS score halved from 68 (65-71) to 34 (29-39) at 6 months post-operatively. A pre-operative SNOT-22 score over 20 implied a greater chance of score improvement after 6 months. A multivariate model identified individual items associated with SNOT-22. Further, patients that had lees than 12 months of sinus disease derived greatest benefit. CRS-related absenteeism dropped from 8-14 days to 1-7 days 12 months after ESS. CONCLUSIONS This prospective study showed that ESS significantly improved the HRQOL and decreased absenteeism of patients with CRSw/sNP. Shorter duration of disease and Need to blow nose and Blockage/congestion of nose of SNOT-22 were identified as predictive factors for good surgical outcome.

Abstract
AIMS This study summarises the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores and absenteeism caused by sinus problems in patients awaiting surgery with the diagnoses recurrent acute rhinosinusitis (RARS), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRS+NP) or CRS without nasal polyps (CRS-NP), in a prospective multi-centre study. METHODOLOGY Two hundred and seven patients with RARS, CRS+NP or CRS-NP were enrolled. EP3OS definitions of CRS and NP were used. The patients completed the 22 Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), the short-form 36-item questionnaire (SF-36), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) and a total Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) regarding rhinosinusitis symptoms. RESULTS SNOT-22 and VAS scores indicated severe disease. Comparison of the HRQOL scores in the three rhinosinusitis subgroups showed statistical differences in nine of the SNOT-22 items and in the SF-36 subscale of bodily pain. Mean scores of SF-36 were significantly lower than that of the normal Swedish population. According to the HAD scores, 28% of the patients had probable or possible anxiety or depression disorder. Fifty-seven percent of the patients reported absenteeism from work due to sinus problems. CONCLUSIONS RARS, CRS+NP and CRS-NP significantly decrease HRQOL. Some statistically significant differences in HRQOL were found between the three rhinosinusitis subgroups. Absenteeism due to chronic sinus conditions is considerable.
