Low 22 ‐item sinonasal outcome test scores in chronic rhinosinusitis: Why do patients seek treatment?

ConclusionsLow‐SNOT CRS patients represent an outlier population for which measures of QoL fail to identify factors influencing the decision to seek treatment. Low‐SNOT CRS patients electing ESS have a decreased likelihood of reporting MCIDs following ESS. Further study is required to identify novel factors associated with treatment‐seeking behavior in this population. Level of Evidence3B Laryngoscope, 2016
