Brief summary
This project focuses on researching chronic rhinosinusitis in patients, employing image processing techniques and molecular biology methods to jointly determine the research objectives: 1. Investigating heterogeneity. 2. Developing an intelligent assessment model. 3. Creating a visual tool for diagnosis and prognosis.
Detailed description
1. Investigating the heterogeneity of chronic rhinosinusitis: the project will utilize high-throughput information from various sources such as radiology, pathology, and proteomics to gain insights into the multi-dimensional and big data aspects of chronic rhinosinusitis. By analyzing this data, the study aims to identify and understand the different subtypes with more precise and personalized treatment approaches. 2. Developing an intelligent assessment model: using artificial intelligence algorithms, the project will analyze multi-omics data gathered from the research. The goal is to establish an intelligent assessment model that can accurately interpret the data and provide valuable insights into chronic rhinosinusitis. 3. Creating a visual tool for diagnosis and prognosis: the project seeks to integrate multi-omics information to establish an AI model for typing and prognostic prediction. By achieving these research objectives, this project aspires to enhance the understanding of chronic rhinosinusitis and contribute to the development of more precise, personalized, and effective treatment strategies for patients suffering from this condition.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline at months 12 in visual analogue scale (VAS) after surgical intervention | 12month | The VAS for rhinosinusitis was used to evaluate the total disease severity. The participants were asked to indicate on a 10 centimeters (cm) VAS the answer to the question, How troublesome are your symptoms of your rhinosinusitis? The range of the VAS was from 0 (not troublesome) to 10 (worse thinkable troublesome) of troublesome, where higher score indicated worse thinkable troublesome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 in 22-item sino-nasaloutcome test (SNOT-22) scores after surgical intervention | 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month | The SNOT-22 is a validated questionnaire that was used to assess the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). It is a 22 item questionnaire with each item assigned a score ranging from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be). The total score may range from 0 (no disease) to 110 (worst disease), lower scores representing better health related quality of life. |
| Revision surgery rate | 12month | The rate of reoperation in each group after surgery |
| Symptom duration | 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month | The time of duration of major symptoms of postoperative patients |
| Change from baseline at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 in nasal endoscopic score after surgical intervention | 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month | Endoscopic result is scored according to Lund-Kennedy system, with the assessment of nasal polyp (NP), edema, nasal discharge, scarring and crusting. Items including edema, nasal discharge, scarring and crusting score 0 for no problem, 1 for mild abnormalities and 2 for severe abnormalities. NP score is graded and based on NP size recorded as the sum of the right and left nostril scores with a range of 0-8; higher scores indicate worse status. Individual score ranges from 0 (no polyps) to 4 (large polyps causing almost complete congestion/ obstruction of the inferior meatus) within each nostril. |
| Postoperative medication | 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month | The duration and dose of postoperative medication needed to relieve symptoms |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes from baseline at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 in molecular indices of nasal lavage fluid by Bio-plex | 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month | Investigate the change of inflammation molecular biomarkers using sample of nasal lavage fluid or mucosal lesion tissue. Biomarkers including interleukin 9, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-1β, macrophage inflammatory protein-1α and chemokine (C-C motif ) ligand 17 in nasal lavage fluid by Bio-plex (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 were detected to compare the changes of molecular indices relative to baseline. |
| Changes from baseline at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 in molecular indices of nasal lavage fluid by ELISA | 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month | Investigate the change of inflammation molecular biomarkers using sample of nasal lavage fluid or mucosal lesion tissue. Biomarkers including Immunoglobulin (Ig) E in nasal lavage fluid by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 were detected to compare the changes of molecular indices relative to baseline. |
