Nasal septum deformation (NSD) contributes to the occurrence of upper respiratory tract diseases in around 45-55% of Poland's population. The evaluation of frequency of occurrence and type of nasal septum deformation among randomly chosen representatives of the Szczecin and surrounding area population was the aim of this study.
NSD was assessed in 235 patients (123 male, 112 female) aged 5-60. Mladina's classification system was used for the evaluation.
Deformations of nasal septum were found in 43% of the examined subjects. Type 3 of NSD dominated (12.4%), while types 2 and 1 were found in 10.3% and 4.2% of the subjects, respectively. 9.2% of the patients showed type 5 of deformation, while types 6, 4, and 7 were found in 1.3%, 3.2% and 2.7% of the patients, respectively.
Straight nasal septum was found in females more often than in males, mostly on the left side. Associations between NSD, on one side, and age, sex, and traumas, on the other were found. NSD influenced the quality of respiration and frequency of upper respiratory tract diseases in the examined subjects.
鼻中隔变形（NSD）在波兰约 45-55%的人群中导致上呼吸道疾病的发生。本研究旨在评估随机选择的什切青及周边地区人群鼻中隔变形的发生率和类型。
评估了 235 名年龄在 5-60 岁的患者（123 名男性，112 名女性）的 NSD。采用 Mladina 分类系统进行评估。
在接受检查的受试者中，43%存在鼻中隔变形。3 型 NSD 占主导地位（12.4%），2 型和 1 型分别占 10.3%和 4.2%。9.2%的患者出现 5 型变形，而 6 型、4 型和 7 型分别占 1.3%、3.2%和 2.7%。
女性的直鼻中隔比男性更常见，主要在左侧。发现 NSD 与年龄、性别和创伤之间存在关联。在接受检查的患者中，鼻中隔变形影响呼吸质量和上呼吸道疾病的发生频率。
