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

Nasal versus tracheobronchial biopsies to diagnose primary ciliary dyskinesia: A meta ‐analysis
ConclusionTissue biopsy is one component of diagnosing PCD. We found no significant difference between biopsy sites in terms of obtaining an adequate ciliary sample for EM evaluation. This suggests that nasal biopsy should be preferred for patients old enough to tolerate an office biopsy without the need for general anesthesia. The merits of nasal versus tracheobronchial biopsy in the operating room depend more on the risks and benefits of the procedure being performed. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 127:6–13, 2017

Comparing surgeon outcomes in endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionComparison of surgeon outcomes of ESS is feasible and must take into account a number of baseline patient characteristics. Further studies will be critical toward developing an ESS‐specific risk‐adjustment model and enabling a robust comparison of surgeon outcomes. Level of Evidence2c. Laryngoscope, 2016

Increased expression of hCLCA1 in chronic rhinosinusitis and its contribution to produce MUC5AC
ConclusionsThe current findings indicate that the expression of hCLCA1 is increased in chronic rhinosinusitis and may be regulated by Th1 and Th2 cytokines, possibly contributing to the production of MUC5AC. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 2016

Design and rationale of a prospective, multi ‐institutional registry for patients with sinonasal malignancy
ConclusionThis prospective, multi‐institutional registry will provide novel oncological and QoL outcomes on patients with sinonasal malignancy to inform management decisions and disease prognostication. The application of cloud‐based computing facilitates secure multi‐institutional collaboration and may serve as a model for future registry development for the study of rare diseases in otolaryngology.

Treatment of rhinosinusitis and histopathology of nasal mucosa: A controlled, randomized, clinical study
Objectives/HypothesisTo study the pathology of upper airway mucosa, as well as valuate and compare changes in pathology after the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients with balloon sinuplasty versus uncinectomy. MethodsA prospective randomized controlled trial in patients with CRS of the maxillary sinuses without severe pathology of other sinuses. Patients were randomized into two groups: uncinectomy and balloon sinuplasty. The main variables in our study are histopathology of nasal mucosa and expression of metalloproteinase‐9 protein. These parameters were analyzed preoperatively and at 3 months, 6 months, ...

Nasal obstruction has a limited impact on sleep quality and quality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionsNasal obstruction appears to have a limited association with CRS‐specific QOL and CRS‐associated decrease in SQ. Further, the NOSE instrument, because it contains a question about sleep, may have overlap with the PSQI as a measure of SQ. The total NOSE score in CRS patients does not appear to be purely a measure of nasal obstruction. Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 2016
