Improvements in sleep-related symptoms after endoscopic sinus surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep impairment is highly prevalent in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Although endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has been shown to improve overall patient-reported sleep quality, the postoperative impact on individual sleep symptoms remains unclear.

Methods

Patients with medically-recalcitrant CRS who elected to undergo ESS were prospectively enrolled into a multi-institutional, observational cohort study.
