Conclusion Patients with recalcitrant CRS electing continued medical management report better baseline health utility compared to patients electing ESS, and their utility values remained stable during up to 12 months of follow-up. Patients elect- ing ESS had lower baseline utility values and showed signif- icant improvement in utility over 12 months after surgery. Outcomes from this study may be used to improve the ac- curacy of future cost-utility analyses for management of CRS with either medical therapy or ESS. Multiinstitutional long-term studies are required to confirm these findings.

mean baseline utility value resulting from EQ-5D was 0.81 as reported by Remenschneider et al. 6 Both instruments show comparable gains in utility (SF-6D: 0.08; EQ-5D: 0.08) after ESS, which supports the use of each instrument in cost-analyses. The health utility values reported herein provide insight into patients’ view of their global health- related QOL and will inform future cost-analysis and eco- nomic evaluations for medically managed CRS patients. Future studies should confirm our initial results and ide- ally would include long-term follow-up for more accurate evaluations of economic impact.
