ObjectivesPediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent condition with quality of life (QoL) impacts that are seldom reported in the literature. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on studies using the Sinus and Nasal Quality of Life Survey (SN-5), the only validated symptom questionnaire in pediatric CRS.MethodsA literature search was conducted to identify studies that used the SN-5 to measure QoL before and after medical or surgical interventions for pediatric CRS. Comparison of means and standard deviations was performed between pre- and post-intervention SN-5 scores.ResultsA total of 10 studies, consisting of 13 separate treatment arms of either medical therapy, adenoidectomy, balloon catheter sinuplasty (BCS), or functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were identified. The vast majority (92.3%) of the treatment arms demonstrated minimal clinically important differences between baseline and post-intervention SN-5 scores. Rates of treatment success and minimal clinically important difference among all treatment arms ranged from 43.2% to 94.0%. Comparison of means showed an improvement in SN-5 score of 1.97 [95% CI, 1.18 to 2.76; p < 0.00001] for BCS, 1.83 [95% CI, 1.47 to 2.19; p < 0.00001] for FESS, and 1.15 [95% CI, 0.36 to 2.66; p = 0.13) for medical treatment.ConclusionThere is a paucity of literature on QoL outcomes in pediatric CRS. More studies using the SN-5, particularly those controlling for baseline patient characteristics, are necessary to fully elucidate the impact of various interventions on QoL in pediatric CRS.
