AbstractIntroduction:Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a common adjunct to medical therapy in cases of chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis.Aim:The objective of this study was to assess patients' quality of life up to two years after endoscopic sinus surgery.Method:Fifty consecutive patients attending a rhinology clinic filled in the Glasgow benefit inventory. The patients were divided into three groups according to the time period elapsed since surgery (i.e. six months, 12 months or up to two years).Results:The results showed that, generally, the Glasgow benefit inventory scores indicated a benefit from the procedure. Overall, surgery led to statistically significant improvements in both total and general scores (p < 0.05). Comparison of endoscopic sinus surgery with nasal polypectomy (plus endoscopic sinus surgery) indicated a greater benefit for polyp disease. No statistical difference was observed between the scores for females vs males or for various post-operative follow-up periods.

A Prospective Study

OBJECT Prospective studies of quality of life (QOL) are infrequently performed in patients undergoing surgery for vestibular schwannoma (VS). The authors designed this to study to investigate health-related QOL (HR-QOL) in patients with large and giant VSs before and after surgery. METHODS Between January 2009 and December 2012, HR-QOL was measured prospectively before and after surgery, using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), in 100 patients who underwent surgery for unilateral large or giant VS (tumor size ≥ 3 cm). The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) was also used to evaluate the effect of surgery. RESULTS A total of 100 patients were included in the study (65 men and 35 women). Their mean age (± SD) was 44.2 ± 11.5 years. The preoperative QOL was decreased in all SF-36 domains. A 1-year follow-up evaluation was conducted for all patients (mean 13.5 ± 5.3 months after surgery). The results showed an improvement in HR-QOL compared with preoperative status in all cases, with 63%–85% of patients showing a minimum clinically important difference (MCID) in various domains. A second follow-up evaluation was performed in 51 cases (mean time after surgery, 29.0 ± 8.3 months) and showed sustained improvement in SF-36 scores. In some domains there was further improvement beyond the first follow-up. On the GBI, 87% of patients reported improvement, 1% felt no change, and 12% of patients reported deterioration. CONCLUSIONS Patients harboring large or giant VSs score lower on all the QOL domains compared with the normative population. More than 60% showed a clinically significant improvement in HR-QOL 1 year after surgery, a result that was sustained at subsequent follow-up.

Background The aim of this study was to show the effect of endoscopic sinus surgery on subjective headache scores in patients diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with or without nasal polyps. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from 201 patients over a 2-year period. Headache and Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-20) mean scores were compared preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively on patients diagnosed with CRS with or without nasal polyps. Results Two hundred one patients underwent surgical management of CRS with or without nasal polyps over a 3-year period. One hundred four patients were men and 97 were women, with a mean age of 49 (range, 18–80 years) years. Polyps were present in 78 patients with CRS. The mean subjective headache score based on a 0–10 visual analog scale improved from 4.7 preoperatively to 0.8 2 years postoperatively (p < 0.0001). The mean headache score of 123 patients without polyps was larger compared with 78 patients with polyps (5.1 versus 4.1, respectively; p < 0.05). As previously reported, the mean overall preoperative and postoperative SNOT-20 scores were 28.7 and 6.7, respectively (p < 0.0001). Conclusion Headache is a common symptom with CRS, present in 73.6% of our patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery for CRS with or without nasal polyps. An overall decrease in mean headache scores was noted at 2-year follow-up.

Objective. We aimed to determine the perioperative changes in the quality of life (QoL) in patients with acromegaly and to reveal the relationship between biochemical indicators and quality of life change after tumor resection. Methods. Patients with acromegaly were enrolled from a tertiary pituitary center. SF-36 scale and AcroQoL scale were used to determine the QoL before and after surgery. We analyzed changes in QoL using a generalized linear model for repeated measurements. We compared the changes in QoL among three groups (remission, active, and discordant group) based on postoperative growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1. Results. 151 patients (75 males and 76 females) diagnosed with acromegaly were included. The average age was 43.9 ± 12.3 years. The median total SF-36 scale was 65.3% (IQR: 63.2%–69.2%). Overall AcroQoL score at baseline was 59.1% (IQR: 51.8%–71.8%). Nadir GH levels (coefficient −0.08, p=0.047), T3 levels (coefficient 2.8, p=0.001), and testosterone levels (coefficient −0.20, p=0.033) in males were independent predictive factors of the total SF-36 score. During the follow-up, the median overall SF-36 score increased to 66.1% at 3 months and 75.3% at 6 months (p<0.001) after surgery. The median overall AcroQoL score increased to 74.5% at 3 months and 77.3% at 6 months (p<0.001) after surgery. At 6-month follow-up, median scores were still less than 70% in appearance, vitality, and mental health dimensions. The QoL after surgery were similar among the three groups, although higher GH and more preoperative somatostatin analogs usage were observed in the active group. Conclusion. In conclusion, acromegalic patients were associated with low QoL, which could be reversed partially by surgery. The improvement was independent of the endocrine remission. Appearance, vitality, and mental health were three major aspects that warrant further attention from physicians and caregivers after surgery.
