Functional burden and limitations in children with chronic sinusitis.
The objective of this study was to use a validated pediatric quality of life (QOL) tool to quantify the impact of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in a representative epidemiological sample. Findings showed that pediatric CRS was associated with substantial QOL burden across multiple psychosocial and cognitive domains and that CRS children with lower family income and comorbid asthma, anxiety, and depression had higher Columbia Impairment Scale scores associated with even greater functional impairment. These findings suggested that pediatric CRS might be a population requiring greater attention and screening for mental health symptoms.
