Abstract
To determine the impact of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) on chronic rhinosinusitis with asthma (CRSwA) patients' clinical control and quality of life. A randomized controlled trial involving 150 CRSwA patients, equally divided into surgical and control groups. Participants were matched for age, gender, illness duration, and computed tomography (CT) grading of the sinuses. Random allocation was conducted using a computer-generated table. The surgical group exhibited significant symptom score improvements across all metrics (P < .001). Lung function parameters showed substantial gains, with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC ratios significantly higher than the control group (P < .001). Quality of life scores, measured by RQLQ and AQLQ, improved significantly in the surgical group (P < .001). At 6 months, correlations between lung function and CT grading of the sinuses were evident, with negative and positive correlations, respectively (P < .05). Inflammatory markers and medication usage were notably reduced (P < .001, P < .05), with low adverse event rates (1%). ESS is effective in enhancing clinical outcomes and quality of life for CRSwA patients, reducing inflammation and medication needs, thus supporting its use as a beneficial treatment.
