Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Against the background of constantly intensifying economic pressure in the healthcare sector, in the future confirmation of subjective and economic benefit of different forms of therapy will be the criterion applied by the health insurance companies to decide whether to reimburse the costs they involve. The aim of this study was to provide confirmation that patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) do benefit from functional endonasal sinus surgery (FESS). PATIENTS AND METHODS:One year after undergoing FESS for the treatment of CRS, 82 patients completed various questionnaires. The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) was used, as it is a validated instrument for the assessment of benefit. In addition, the patients were asked to complete questionnaires relating to pre- and postoperative use of resources (use of antibiotics, visits to their doctors and time unfit for work) and also to give an overall rating of their satisfaction with the outcome, the difference in their symptoms after FESS and the likelihood that they would recommend this treatment to friends or relatives. RESULTS:Three out of four GBI scales [total score (+22.6), general benefit (+26.8), physical functioning (+23.7)] indicated that patients experienced significant benefit. The frequency of visiting their doctors, their intake of antibiotics and the amount of time off work were all significantly reduced. The vast majority of patients were satisfied with the overall result and the level of symptom relief achieved and would recommend FESS to friends and relatives. CONCLUSION:The vast majority of these patients with CRS experienced FESS as highly beneficial. A significant reduction of resource usage was reported after the operation.
