AB  - BACKGROUND: Balloon sinuplasty (functional endoscopic dilation surgery, FEDS) has 
      become established as a safe therapeutic procedure for treatment of chronic 
      rhinosinusitis. Our goal was to assess the effect on quality of life (QoL) using 
      validated tools and identify predictive factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 
      consecutive cohort of 14 patients was evaluated using the disease-specific QoL 
      questionnaire Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 20 (SNOT-20). The measured postoperative 
      changes were then correlated to the results of preoperative CT scan analyses 
      performed according to Lund. RESULTS: Both the overall SNOT-20 scores and those 
      corresponding to subsections regarding primary nasal symptoms (PNS) and secondary 
      rhinogenic symptoms (SRS) showed a highly significant improvement (p < 0.01). 
      Changes in PNS but not in SRS correlated with the CT scan analyses (p < 0.05). 
      Eighty five percent of patients said that they would choose to undergo FEDS 
      again. CONCLUSIONS: FEDS is an effective technique that can alleviate symptoms 
      and improve QoL. Patient selection should not be based on CT data alone but a CT 
      scan can be used to determine whether or not the FEDS technique is applicable to 
      the individual patient.
