To determine the correlation between rhinosinusitis symptoms as assessed by the Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test-20 (SNOT-20) and mucociliary clearance as assessed by the saccharin method.
This was a cross-sectional study of 50 adult volunteers. Subjects completed the SNOT-20, and mucociliary clearance was determined with the saccharine method. Correlation coefficients (Spearman's Rho) were calculated for the global SNOT-20 score.
The SNOT-20 scores varied from 20 to 54 (mean 30.28) with a possible range of 20 to 100. Clearance times varied from 418 to 2865 seconds (mean 999). There was no significant correlation between global SNOT-20 score and clearance time (r = 0.196).
There is no significant correlation between rhinosinusitis symptoms as assessed by SNOT-20 scores and mucociliary clearance.
Mucociliary clearance is important for the health of the sinonasal cavities, but clearance time does not appear to be associated with symptom severity in the population studied.

确定采用鼻窦结局测试-20（SNOT-20）评估的鼻窦炎症状与采用糖精法评估的黏液纤毛清除功能之间的相关性。
这是一项针对50名成年志愿者的横断面研究。受试者完成SNOT-20测试，并用糖精法测定黏液纤毛清除功能。计算SNOT-20总体评分的相关系数（斯皮尔曼等级相关系数）。
SNOT-20评分在20至54分之间（平均30.28分），可能范围为20至100分。清除时间在418至2865秒之间（平均999秒）。SNOT-20总体评分与清除时间之间无显著相关性（r = 0.196）。
SNOT-20评分评估的鼻窦炎症状与黏液纤毛清除功能之间无显著相关性。
黏液纤毛清除功能对鼻窦健康很重要，但在所研究的人群中，清除时间似乎与症状严重程度无关。
