Quality of Life Impact of Nasal Airway Treatment With Aerin Medical Device

Primary outcomes

1. Change From Baseline NOSE Score

   Time frame: Baseline, 12, 18, 24 months post-procedure

   Mean change in Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score from baseline. The NOSE scale ranges from 0 to 100, so a maximum change from baseline would be 100 points. A positive number reported for the change from baseline indicates an improved outcome.

2. Change From Baseline NOSE Score - Long Term Extended Follow-up

   Time frame: Update to include Extended Follow up to 36-, 48- months post-procedure

   Mean change in Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score from baseline. The NOSE scale ranges from 0 to 100, so a maximum change from baseline would be 100 points. A positive number reported for the change from baseline indicates an improved outcome.

3. Number and Percentage of Participants With Positive Response on Quality of Life Assessment Items

   Time frame: 12, 18, 24 months post-procedure

   This 21-item QOL scale was developed by Aerin Medical for this study to assess durability of symptom relief after treatment for nasal obstruction. Each item had 5 possible answers to convey the following responses: very positive, positive, neutral, negative and very negative. For questions 1-14, those who answered "agree or agree strongly" when prompted with "Compared to before I had the Aerin Medical Nasal Procedure, I have experienced..." were considered to have a positive response. For questions 15-18, those who answered "rarely/very rarely/never" when prompted with "Compared to before you had the procedure, how often did you suffer from the following conditions?..." were considered to have a positive response. For questions 19-21, those who answered "less or much less frequently" when prompted with "Compared to the time prior procedure, how often have you used the following to help you with nasal congestion/difficulty breathing?..." were considered to have a positive response.
