An Ambispective Registry Study Comparing Clinical Outcomes of Surgical Interventions for the Treatment of Nasal Airway Obstruction.

An Ambispective, Multicenter, Registry Study Comparing Clinical Outcomes of Participants Receiving Surgical Interventions for the Treatment of Nasal Airway Obstruction (The DUO Study)

The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the clinical outcomes associated with common surgical interventions for the treatment of nasal airway obstruction (NAO).

This is a multicenter, ambispective registry study. The study will include assessment of prospective, long term outcomes by remote administration of patient reported outcome questionnaires. Participants identified in Part 1 of the study with outcomes available for at least 12 months following their surgical procedure for nasal airway obstruction will be identified by the treating physician and invited to participate in the long-term follow-up study. Participants agreeing to participate will be asked to complete a series of questions about their health experience following their surgery and will be asked to complete select health outcome questionnaires using a secure electronic survey platform.
