Abstract

[BACKGROUND] Septorhinoplasty (SRPL) is a frequently performed surgery aimed to improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL), typically assessed using disease-specific questionnaires. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing postoperative HRQOL improvement and to establish the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the Functional Rhinoplasty Outcome Inventory (FROI-17).

[METHODS] In this prospective study, pre- and twelve months postoperative, disease-specific HRQOL was assessed in 95 patients undergoing functional SRPL (Level of Evidence III). Clinical parameters including age, sex, surgical approach, type of nasal deformity, revision surgery and screening on body dysmorphic disorder were obtained. The primary endpoint was the change in FROI-17 scores. MCID was calculated with an internal anchor.

[RESULTS] Mean FROI-17 scores improved from 38.0 ± 16.0 to 24.5 ± 20.0 (p < 0.001). Uni- and multivariate analysis identified the preoperative FROI-17 as the strongest predictor of QoL improvement (p < 0.001). Only the preoperative nasal shape (p = 0.02) and the BDD screening result (p = 0.04) also showed significant correlations in the univariate analysis. The subcategory "self-consciousness" of the FROI-17 showed high sensitivity and specificity for the BDD screening results. An MCID of 13.4 points was calculated, matching the mean postoperative improvement in this cohort.

[CONCLUSIONS] The preoperative FROI-17 score serves as a reliable predictor of postoperative HRQOL improvement following SRPL. These findings underscore the value of implementing patient-reported outcome measures such as the FROI-17 in preoperative counseling to enhance transparency and long-term patient satisfaction.
