“…Moreover, the SNOT22 is extremely important when surgical treatment is a consideration as it can assist in estimating the effect of surgery and the possibility of achieving a realistic outcome. As a result of its popularity, the SNOT22 questionnaire was translated and culturally adapted from English to other languages [12][13][14][15][16][17][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] ; however, a Russian version has yet to be reported.…”

Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a relatively common disease, which significantly affects the patient's quality of life (QoL). Sino‐Nasal Outcome Test–22 (SNOT‐22) is a QoL questionnaire, which allows quantifying patients' complaints. Our aim was to translate and validated the SNOT‐22 into the Russian language. Methods Translation and validation of SNOT‐22 questionnaire was performed through forward‐backward translation technique. After proper translation, the translated questionnaire was completed by CRS patients before and after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and by healthy individuals as controls. Results Thirty‐four native Russian‐speaking CRS patients completed the Russian version of the SNOT‐22 questionnaire before and after ESS. The internal consistency for reliability assessment was very good (mean Cronbach's alpha = 0.816 for CRS patients). Mean scores for the preoperative, postoperative and control groups were 67.6, 18.1 and 9.2, respectively (P < .001), showing validity and responsiveness of the questionnaire. Conclusion The Russian version of the SNOT‐22 questionnaire is a valid outcome measure for patients with CRS.

“…Many patients with nasal complaints such as rhinosinusitis and nasal obstruction also note symptoms referable to ETD; therefore, we speculated that a disease‐specific instrument that assesses sinonasal health might give information that complements and possibly overlaps with the ETDQ‐7. The 22‐item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT‐22) was selected because of its ready availability, ease of administration, and multiple validations in the published literature 8–10. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was computed to assess the degree of linear correlation between the ETDQ‐7 and SNOT‐22.…”

[8][9][10] The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was computed to assess the degree of linear correlation between the ETDQ-7 and SNOT-22. ROC analysis was performed to evaluate the discriminant validity of the SNOT-22 for assessing ETD in comparison to the ETDQ-7.…”

Validating the clinical assessment of eustachian tube dysfunction: The eustachian tube dysfunction questionnaire (ETDQ‐7)

Objectives/Hypothesis Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common condition that is associated with otologic and rhinologic symptoms. The complete assessment of ETD is limited without a valid symptom score. We developed and conducted initial validation of the seven-item Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ-7), a disease-specific instrument to assess symptoms with respect to ETD. Study Design Validation study. Methods The ETDQ-7 was developed using standard survey methodology. The ETDQ-7 was completed by a group of 50 consecutive adult patients diagnosed with ETD and 25 non-ETD patients who served as a control group. Tympanometry was used as a criterion standard to distinguish the two groups. A subset of respondents repeated the ETDQ-7 at a time point 4 weeks later. Results Content validity for the ETDQ-7 was established by focus group and review of the literature. Reliability testing indicated acceptable internal consistency for the entire instrument (Cronbach α = .71). The test–retest reliability indicated good correlation between the two questionnaires completed by the same patient 4 weeks apart (r = 0.78). The ETDQ-7 was able to discriminate between patients with ETD and those without (P < .001), indicating excellent discriminant validity. Conclusions The ETDQ-7 is a valid and reliable symptom score for use in adult patients with ETD that may facilitate clinical practice by highlighting the impact of ETD. Further testing is needed to determine its usefulness in assessing treatment response.

“…It is adapted from prior disease-specific QOL instruments that have been extensively validated in the otolaryngology literature. 11,17,20,22 It contains 22 items that can be divided into domains, 3 although most investigators report only an overall score. Responses are recorded on a 6-item Likert scale, ranging from 0 to 5 points for each item.…”

Endoscopic skull base surgery is associated with an improvement in postoperative site-specific QOL as compared with the preoperative QOL. Short-term improvements are greater if gross-total resection is achieved. Sinonasal QOL transiently declines and then returns to preoperative baseline levels. Endoscopic skull base surgery is a valuable tool in the neurosurgical management of anterior skull base pathology, leading to improvements in site-specific QOL.
