QOL Comparison Between Surgeons Following ESS Possible
Comparison of surgeon outcomes of ESS is feasible, but must take into account a number of baseline patient characteristics
Concurrent Septoplasty Does Not Affect CRS-Specific Health-Related QOL
Are chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS)-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes affected by concurrent septoplasty performed during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for medically refractory CRS? Background: Septoplasty is commonly performed during ESS. […]
Medical Management for CRS Improves QOL
In patients who have failed medical management for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), are there greater quality of life (QOL) outcome improvements with further medical therapy or endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS)? Background: Although […]
