ABSTRACT
@#<p><strong>

OBJECTIVE:

</strong> To evaluate the quality of life before, and after Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) among patients with nasal obstruction due to nasal polyposis using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) questionnaire translated in Filipino (NOSE-Ph) in a tertiary government hospital in Metro Manila.</p> <p><strong>

METHODS:

</strong></p> <p><strong>

Design:

</strong>Cross-Sectional QOL Study</p> <p><strong>

Setting:

</strong>Tertiary Government Hospital</p> <p><strong>

Participants:

</strong>  40 patients with nasal polyposis who underwent FESS from April 2014 to June 2015 were included in the study. Patients who underwent FESS due to other nasal tumors other than nasal polyp were excluded. The subjects answered the previously-validated NOSE-Ph questionnaire pre- and post-operatively and the scores were gathered and analyzed.</p> <p><strong>

RESULTS:

</strong>Based on the pre and post-operative scores, there was a statistically significant improvement in all 5 parameters (1. nasal congestion, 2. nasal obstruction, 3. trouble breathing, 4.  trouble sleeping, and 5. inability to get enough air through the nose during exercise).</p> <p><strong>

CONCLUSION:

</strong>There was a statistically significant improvement in the quality of life of patients who underwent FESS based on the pre and post-operative scores using the NOSE-Ph questionnaire translated in Filipino.  </p>
