SNOT-22 has been characterized by observed discordance between its subjective outcomes and objective imaging results, a known potential feature of instruments validated for clinical research.

Internal consistency within the unidimensional SNOT nasal domain was high (Cronbach \u03b1, 0.915; 95% CI, &amp;amp;gt;0.91). Standard static SNOT nasal domain and overall scores (SNOT-22, -25, -26, and -29) were not measurably associated with LMCT. Adaptive SNOT scores based on item response theory data and guideline definitions demonstrated associations with LMCT, particularly for the nasal domain (odds ratio [OR], 3.75; 95% CI, 1.90-7.40) and also when ear, sleep, psychological, productivity, and allergy domains were incorporated. Adaptive allergy-focused testing was inversely associated with LMCT (OR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.25-0.88), suggesting adaptive testing can differentiate between CRS and allergic rhinitis. Results for endoscopy scores were similar. Adaptive nasal scores had increasing probabilities of LMCT greater than 5.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi260020-10\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this diagnostic study, the novel adaptive SNOT instrument established an association between subjective patient-reported symptoms and objective imaging results, a characteristic distinct from traditional static testing.
