چکیده
Background The concept of control of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has only recently been introduced by the EPOS expert panel following the concept of control in allergic rhinitis and asthma. The aim of this study was to examine the degree of control of CRS at a mean period of 3-5 years after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and to correlate the new criteria of control of CRS to VAS (visual analogue scores) for sinonasal symptoms and the SNOT-22 questionnaire. Another aim was to find out if patients changed from controlled to partly controlled or uncontrolled following nasal endoscopy.
