Quality of life studies are increasingly being use as the primary outcome measure in chronic rhinosinusitis. The Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI) is a recently designed validated measure that has not been used in clinical studies. We have used the RSDI on 53 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and compared the results to their endoscopic score and self-rated symptom score. Our data showed that the mean total quality of life score was 42 with a range of 5 to 69 (SD 17). The means of the functional, emotional and physical domains were 13 (range 0 to 27, SD 6), 13 (range 0 to 25, SD 7) and 16 (range of 2 to 32, SD of 7) respectively. There was no correlation between endoscopic score and either the patient's self-rated symptom score or RSDI score. The correlation between the self-rated symptom score and total quality of life score was significant (p = 0.02). Various areas of the patients' quality of life were shown to be affected by chronic rhinosinusitis.
生活质量研究越来越多地被用作慢性鼻窦炎的主要结局指标。鼻窦炎残疾指数(RSDI)是最近设计并经验证的一项指标,尚未在临床研究中使用。我们对53例慢性鼻窦炎患者使用了RSDI,并将结果与他们的内镜评分和自我评定症状评分进行了比较。我们的数据显示,生活质量总评分的平均值为42分,范围为5至69分(标准差17)。功能、情感和身体领域的平均分分别为13分(范围0至27分,标准差6)、13分(范围0至25分,标准差7)和16分(范围2至32分,标准差7)。内镜评分与患者的自我评定症状评分或RSDI评分之间均无相关性。自我评定症状评分与生活质量总评分之间的相关性显著(p = 0.02)。结果表明,慢性鼻窦炎会影响患者生活质量的各个方面。
