Evaluation of long-term (5-year) quality of life after nasal airway obstruction treatment with the Aerin Vivaer Stylus
This is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center follow-up study to collect long term quality of life (QOL) data on a cohort of patients who participated in the Aerin Medical TP258 study "A Prospective, Multi-Center, Non-Randomized Study to Evaluate Treatment of Nasal Airway Obstruction Using the Aerin Medical Device".

Change From Baseline NOSE Score
Mean change in Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score from baseline. The NOSE scale ranges from 0 to 100, so a maximum change from baseline would be 100 points. A positive number reported for the change from baseline indicates an improved outcome.
Time frame: Baseline, 12, 18, 24 months post-procedure
Change From Baseline NOSE Score - Long Term Extended Follow-up
Mean change in Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score from baseline. The NOSE scale ranges from 0 to 100, so a maximum change from baseline would be 100 points. A positive number reported for the change from baseline indicates an improved outcome.
Time frame: Update to include Extended Follow up to 36-, 48- months post-procedure
Number and Percentage of Participants With Positive Response on Quality of Life Assessment Items
This 21-item QOL scale was developed by Aerin Medical for this study to assess durability of symptom relief after treatment for nasal obstruction. Each item had 5 possible answers to convey the following responses: very positive, positive, neutral, negative and very negative. For questions 1-14, those who answered "agree or agree strongly" when prompted with "Compared to before I had the Aerin Medical Nasal Procedure, I have experienced..." were considered to have a positive response. For questions 15-18, those who answered "rarely/very rarely/never" when prompted with "Compared to before you had the procedure, how often did you suffer from the following conditions?..." were considered to have a positive response. For questions 19-21, those who answered "less or much less frequently" when prompted with "Compared to the time prior procedure, how often have you used the following to help you with nasal congestion/difficulty breathing?..." were considered to have a positive response.
Time frame: 12, 18, 24 months post-procedure
