Nasal valve collapse (NVC) is one structural cause of NAO. Temperature\u2010controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) nasal valve remodeling offers an alternative to invasive surgery. Clinical efficacy is established, but the impacts of TCRF on healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and cost in real\u2010world settings remain underexplored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two cohorts with NAO were defined from a large general NAO population: the TCRF cohort with an isolated TCRF (index) procedure and a propensity\u2010matched medically managed (MM) cohort without nasal procedures. HRU and costs were evaluated within a 24\u2010month pre\u2010\/post\u2010index period for both.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 10,206 TCRF and 50,766\u00a0MM patients were analyzed. Significant post\u2010index reductions were observed for TCRF across all\u2010cause Evaluation &amp; Management (E&amp;M) visits, ENT\u2010related procedures, and sleep\u2010related claim categories. A large reduction in mean daily post\u2010index costs was seen for the TCRF cohort: $68.07 pre\u2010index to $38.75 post\u2010index (\u221243.1%). Mean daily costs went up in the MM cohort from $42.08 pre\u2010index to $63.26 post\u2010index (+50.4%), resulting in total cost savings of $21,418.26 for the TCRF cohort and a total cost increase of $15,471.99 in the MM cohort in the 24\u2010month post\u2010index period. TCRF cost reductions were driven by reductions in NAO\u2010related HRU.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this large, real\u2010world analysis, TCRF treatment for NVC\u2010related NAO demonstrated substantial reductions in HRU and total costs of care, demonstrating sustained savings over 2 years relative to MM patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.70066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,26]],"date-time":"2025-11-26T13:15:28Z","timestamp":1764162928000},"page":"261-271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Healthcare Resource Utilization and Cost After Temperature\u2010Controlled Radiofrequency Treatment of Nasal Airway Obstruction: A Real\u2010World Longitudinal Claims Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0171-1336","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David W.","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sidney Kimmel Medical College Thomas Jefferson University  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8434-0085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gavin","family":"Setzen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Albany Medical College, Albany ENT &amp;
