Qualitative Analysis of Subject Experience of Nasal Polyps

VAS questionnaire is a PRO tool in which subjects will be asked to evaluate overall symptom severity, or the severity of individual symptoms of nasal polyps along a continuum, typically of 10 centimeter (cm) or 100 millimeter (mm) whereby 0 represents 'no symptom' and '10 or 100 represents 'as bad as you can imagine', Scores of 0-3 (or 0-30) are defined as mild disease, \>3-7 (or \>30-70) as moderate disease and \>7-10 (or \>70-100) as severe disease.

SNOT-22 is a PRO tool to measure HRQoL associated with rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps. It contains 22 nose, sinus, and general HRQoL items and subjects will be required to score the experience on a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (no problem) to 5 (Problem as bad as it can be) and identify the five most important items affecting their health.

Real time data capture app is a smart-phone or web-based application which will allow the subjects to communicate about their experience of nasal polyps in real-time as they go about their daily lives via varying video, audio, photographic and text responses.
