Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the health-related quality of life (QOL) status of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. METHODS: Sixty four patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and twenty healthy volunteers were enrolled, and their QOL scores were assessed by using SF-36 questionnaire (Chinese version) and SNOT-22 questionnaire translated into Chinese. RESULTS: The feasibility, reliability, validity, and responsibility of Chinese version of SNOT-22 questionnaire all passed the test. It showed that by Chinese version of SNOT-22 questionnaire the most five important items affecting health status were nasal obstruction, runny nose, loss of smell or taste, dizziness and post-nasal discharge respectively. The coefficient of correlation was 0. 233 between the SNOT-22 questionnaire and the Lund-MacKay CT score of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. CONCLUSIONS: Chinese version of SNOT-22 questionnaire can effectively assess the QOL status of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. It showed less correlation between the SNOT-22 questionnaire and the Lund-MacKay CT score of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
