What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test
Time Frame: Baseline and 12 months post procedure
The 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-20) is a validated, disease-specific patient-reported instrument designed to indicate the severity of rhinosinusitis symptoms. The SNOT-20 evaluates 20 symptoms on a scale from 0 ("no problem") to 5 ("problem as bad as it can be"). The overall SNOT-20 score is the average of the 20 symptoms scores providing a range from 0 to 5 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) has been determined to be a reduction of 0.8 or more in the overall SNOT-20 score.
Baseline and 12 months post procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rhinosinusitis Symptom Inventory (RSI) Nasal Symptoms Domain
Time Frame: Baseline and 12 months post procedure
The Rhinosinusitis Symptom Inventory (RSI) is a self-administered quality of life questionnaire. Section 1 of the questionnaire scores symptoms related to chronic rhinosinusitis on a 6-point scale with "0" indicating no symptoms and "5" indicating very severe symptoms. There are 4 symptoms domains: nasal, facial, oropharyngeal, and systemic. RSI domain scores are calculated by summing the score of the specific domain question, dividing by the number of domain questions, and multiplying by 20 to obtain a standardized score. Scores can range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
Baseline and 12 months post procedure

There are 4 symptoms domains: nasal, facial, oropharyngeal, and systemic. RSI domain scores are calculated by summing the score of the specific domain question, dividing by the number of domain questions, and multiplying by 20 to obtain a standardized score. Scores can range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.

Time Frame: Baseline and 12 months post procedure
The Rhinosinusitis Symptom Inventory (RSI) is a self-administered quality of life questionnaire.

Baseline and 12 months post procedure
Number of Participants Using Nasal Steroids
Time Frame: Baseline and 12 months post procedure

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
