Summary

This investigation is a prospective, multi-institutional cohort study comparing the differences in health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) improvements between subjects electing continued medical management for chronic rhinosinusitis and those electing medical management plus surgical intervention.

Our hypothesis is 3 fold: 1. That patients electing continued medical management will have less disease severity as measured by CT and baseline HRQoL scores, 2. Patients undergoing medical management plus ESS for chronic rhinosinusitis will experience a larger improvement in health related quality of life (HRQoL)compared to patients electing medical management alone, and 3. Patients undergoing medical management plus ESS for chronic rhinosinusitis will use fewer antibiotics, systemic steroids, and miss fewer days of work/school compared to patients electing medical management alone.
