Computed tomography (CT) imaging of the sinuses was performed in 70 patients. Data were collected from January 2024 to August 2025, and data were analyzed from August to September 2025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi260023-7\">\n                    <jats:title>Exposures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CRS and allergy-related symptoms as well as secondary ear, sleep, psychological, and productivity domains were assessed through completion of the adaptive SNOT instrument. Lund-Mackay CT scores (LMCT) were calculated to measure objective disease severity in sinus imaging, while Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System scores were used to assess general health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi260023-8\">\n                    <jats:title>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Factor analysis and internal consistency were assessed. Adaptive SNOT scores in patients with LMCT scores less than 5 or 5 and greater were evaluated via differences in means and effect sizes. Convergent validity was evaluated with Spearman \u03c1. Intrarater reliability was evaluated with Cohen \u03ba, Spearman \u03c1, and intraclass correlation coefficient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi260023-9\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of 1072 included patients, 782 (72.9%) were female, and the mean (SD) age was 54 (21) years. The adaptive SNOT nasal domain and all-domain scores clearly distinguished between patients with LMCT scores of 5 and greater and those with LMCT scores less than 5 (nasal domain score: difference in means, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.03-0.63; Cohen\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">d<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.80; all-domain score: difference in means, 3.04; 95% CI, 0.02-6.05; Cohen\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">d<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.57). Adaptive SNOT scores also demonstrated associations with physical, mental, social, and global health (associations ranged from low to strong). Intrarater reliability was substantial for both the nasal domain alone (Cohen \u03ba range, 0.72-0.74) and across all domains (Cohen \u03ba range, 0.73-0.75). Additionally, the adaptive SNOT nasal and all-domain scores were responsive to change and improved among patients who received CRS treatment with medication or surgery from a mean score of 9.12 (95% CI, 6.37-11.87) to 2.47 (95% CI, 0.89-4.05) (Cohen\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">d<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.76).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
