Outcome variables included CRS symptomatology, as reflected by the 22\u2010item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT\u201022); general health status, as reflected by the EuroQol 5\u2010dimensional visual analog scale (EQ\u20105D VAS); and CRS\u2010related antibiotic and systemic corticosteroid use. Race\/ethnicity, zip code income bracket, education level, and insurance status were used as predictor variables.
