Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of revision endoscopic sinus surgery (RESS) on quality of life in the patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP).
METHOD:To survey and evaluate 60 cases of RESS patients (treatment group) and 120 normal ones with physical examination (Control group) through the medical outcomes survey short form questions (MOS SF-36) and the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-20 (SNOT-20), and comparison and analysis of the two groups results which we got were carried out.
RESULT:With SF-36 scales for evaluation of quality of life, the results show that: the scores of CRSwNP patients (treatment group) without surgical treatments with RESS were significantly lower than that of the control group(P < 0.05); while use of SNOT-20 scales in evaluation of the preoperative treatment group patients, the results were significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). While the CRSwNP patients with surgical treatments with RESS for 6 months, not only with SF-36 scales but also with SNOT-20 scales, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION:RESS may obviously improve the clinical symptom of CRSNP patients. The SF-36 and SNOT-20 assessment scales could reflect the patient's QoL change.
