About this study

Official title: Canadian Health Economics, Health Outcome, and Effectiveness Comparison of Treatment of the Frontal Sinus Ostium and Recess and Other Sinuses With Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) or Balloon Sinuplasty in Patients With Chronic Sinusitis (CRS)

The economic, patient related outcome, and effectiveness of balloon sinuplasty in the treatment of CRS patients with frontal and other sinus disease in the Canadian healthcare environment is not known at this time. This study will evaluate the impact of balloon sinuplasty and traditional FESS treatment on CRS patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Relieva Balloon Sinuplasty™ SystemDevice

    Catheter-based devices used to dilate blocked paranasal sinus ostia (openings).

  • Functional Endoscopic Sinus SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    Specialized probes are used to cannulate closed ostia (openings), and small forceps are used to resect periostial bone and tissue to enlarge the sinus ostia.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The direct and indirect costs of treatment of frontal and other sinus disease with Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery or balloon sinuplasty.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Health outcome of patients in the two treatment groups.

    Health outcomes will be determined by the completion of the EQ-5D questionnaire in both treatment groups at various timepoint. The EQ-5D is a standardised measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. Applicable to a wide range of health conditions and treatments, it provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value for health status that can be used in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care as well as in population health surveys.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Effectiveness of the two treatment groups in relieving symptomology of CRS.

    Effectiveness of the two treatment groups in relieving symptomology of CRS will be determined by the completion of the Sino-nasal Outcome Test - 20 (SNOT-20) questionnaire in both treatment groups at various timepoint. The SNOT-20 questionnaire is a validated instrument for the measurement of disease specific health status and quality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

    Measured: 6 months
