Abstract
- Objective: To study the long-term outcomes of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) after surgical treatment. Methods: Cross-sectional survey of patients who were treated surgically for CRS as children more than 10 years ago. Survey included SNOT-22 questionnaire, additional functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) since last treatment, status of allergic rhinitis and asthma, and availability of any CT scan sinus/face for review. Results: About 332 patients were contacted by phone or email. Seventy-three patients filled the survey (22.5% response rate). Current age was 26 years (±+/−4.7, 15.3-37.8 years). Age at initial treatment was 6.8 years (+/−3.1, 1.7-14.7 years). Fifty-two patients (71.2%) had FESS and adenoidectomy, and 21 patients (28.8%) had adenoidectomy only. Follow-up since surgical treatment was 19.3 years (+/−4.1). SNOT-22 score was 34.5 (+/−22.2). None of the patients had any additional FESS for the duration of the follow-up, and only 3 patients had septoplasty and inferior turbinoplasty as adults. Twenty-four patients had CT scan sinuses/face available for review. Scans were obtained at an average of 14 years after surgical intervention (+/−5.2). CT LM score was 0.9 (+/−1.9), compared to 9.3 at time of their surgery (+/−5.9) (P <.0001). Currently 45.8% and 36.9% of patients have asthma and AR, compared to 35.6% and 40.6% respectively as kids (P =.897 and P =.167). Conclusion: Children who had surgery for CRS do not seem to have CRS as adults. However, patients continue to have active allergic rhinitis that may affect their quality of life.
