There is high prevalence of lower airway diseases in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and frequently co-existing lower airway diseases have not been diagnosed before.
To examine the prevalence of lower airway diseases in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
Seventy-three consecutive patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were enrolled in this prospective study. With routine physical examination, spirometry and methacholine bronchial provocation test were performed and chest simple radiograph or chest computed tomography was taken.
Thirty patients (41.1%) had lower airway diseases. There were 8 patients with asthma, 5 with asymptomatic bronchial hyperresponsiveness, 11 with small airway disease, 2 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 4 with bronchiectasis. Of these 30 patients, 21 patients (70.0%) were first diagnosed as having lower airway diseases in this study.
慢性鼻窦炎患者下气道疾病的患病率较高,且经常并存的下气道疾病此前未被诊断出来。
研究慢性鼻窦炎患者下气道疾病的患病率。
本前瞻性研究纳入了73例连续的慢性鼻窦炎患者。进行常规体格检查、肺功能测定和乙酰甲胆碱支气管激发试验,并拍摄胸部X线平片或胸部计算机断层扫描。
30例(41.1%)患者患有下气道疾病。其中8例患有哮喘,5例有无症状支气管高反应性,11例患有小气道疾病,2例患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病,4例患有支气管扩张症。在这30例患者中,21例(70.0%)在本研究中首次被诊断为患有下气道疾病。
