Correlation between Preoperative Osteitis Degree with Postoperative Endoscopic Score in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Background : In chronic rhinosinusitis patients, there is a subgroup of patients with
persistent symptoms after treatment, who often shows bone thickening and remodeling
in their paranasal sinuses and described as osteitis. Osteitis can be evaluated by several
methods, one of which is the Global Osteitis Score (GOS). This study was aimed to analyse
the correlation between preoperative osteitis degree with the postoperative endoscopic
scores in chronic rhinosinusitis.
Methods : It was an observational study with cross-sectional design. We use GOS from CT
scan before surgery and Lund Mackay's endoscopic score 4 weeks after Functional
Endoscopy Sinus Surgery (FESS). The analysis performed with Spearman correlation test.
Results : There were 30 patients as subjects. There statistical analysis test between
preoperative osteitis degree with post operative endoscopic score showed p = 0.296 with
r = 0.197. The analysis result between risk factors for wound healing with the
postoperative endoscopic score were allergic rhinitis (p = 1.000), polyps (p = 0.624), and
smoking (p = 0.309).
Conclusion : There is no significant correlation between preoperative osteitis degree with
the postoperative endoscopic score, but there is a tendency for a positive correlation
between preoperative osteitis degree with the postoperative endoscopic score. There
was no significant correlation between allergic rhinitis, polyps, and smoking habits with
postoperative endoscopic score.
