ABSTRACT Background Little evidence exists regarding an integrated multidimensional evaluation methodology to analyze the within-patient effects of medical treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). We aimed to use an integrated evaluation model to analyze the effects of short-course oral corticosteroid (OCS) followed by intranasal corticosteroid spray (INCS) therapy in patients with severe CRSwNP. Methods In all, 32 patients with severe CRSwNP received oral methylprednisolone for three weeks followed by intranasal budesonide spray for nine weeks in this prospective single-arm study. An evaluation model integrating the concepts of the core outcome set (COS), clinical control and minimum clinically important difference (MCID) was longitudinally evaluated. Results All uncontrolled patients at baseline showed similar progressive improvements from baseline and more than 1 MCID response across core outcomes during the OCS period, with severe CRSwNP being partly controlled in 31 (96.9%) patients and uncontrolled in 1 (3.1%) patient at 3 weeks. During the subsequent INCS period, 14 (43.8%) patients gradually deteriorated to an uncontrolled status at 12 weeks, whereas 18 (56.2%) exhibited partly controlled CRSwNP until 12 weeks. Conclusions In more than half of the patients, severe CRSwNP was partly controlled with the initial OCS followed by INCS therapy. An integrated evaluation model was used to facilitate the comprehensive evaluation of within-patient response, especially in patients with different responses to the same treatment.
