“…Among generic instruments, the SF-36 is by far the most widely used and well validated and has been used for both pre-and postoperative studies in CRS. Compared with general population, many studies have demonstrated that CRS has a considerable impact on all SF-36 domains except for physical functioning (43)(44)(45)(46)(47). Patients with CRS (n = 158) and no prior surgery underwent cross-sectional evaluation using the SF-36.…”

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) including nasal polyps is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa that, despite differing hypotheses of its cause, remains poorly understood. Primary symptoms are nasal blockage, loss of smell, rhinorrhea, and facial pain or pressure. Chronic rhinosinusitis causes significant physical symptoms, has a negative impact on quality of life (QoL), and can substantially impair daily functioning. A global evaluation of patients must include, together with nasal symptoms, nasal endoscopy, and CT scan, the measurement of QoL. To assess QoL in CRS, specific and generic questionnaires may be used. Chronic rhinosinusitis has a considerable impact on a patient’s QoL but comorbidities, such as asthma and atopy, have an accumulative negative effect. Both medical and surgical treatments lead to a similar improvement on the QoL of CRS and nasal polyp patients.
