RESUMO
The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of dysosmia in patients with and without nasal polyps, and the impact of dysosmia on the quality of life and mental health in patients with Sinusitis. A total of 105 randomly selected patients with Sinusitis were divided into two groups based on the results of the Sniffin's Sticks olfactory examination: The dysosmia group and the non dysosmia group, the quality of life （Qol） of olfaction quality of life scale and SCL-90 symptom checklist-90（SCL-90） were scored respectively. The incidence of olfactory disorders in chronic sinusitis patients with nasal polyps was significantly higher than those without nasal polyps（χ²=37.133, 0.05）. The risk of dysosmia in patients with Sinusitis polyps was significantly higher than that in patients without nasal polyps, and the quality of life in patients with Sinusitis was significantly lower than that in patients without sinusitis, women also had a greater impact on their quality of life than men, and Sinusitis patients with dysosmia had no significant impact on their mental health.
RESUMO
Objective@#The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of dysosmia in patients with and without nasal polyps, and the impact of dysosmia on the quality of life and mental health in patients with Sinusitis. @*Method@#A total of 105 randomly selected patients with Sinusitis were divided into two groups based on the results of the Sniffin's Sticks olfactory examination: The dysosmia group and the non dysosmia group, the quality of life （Qol） of olfaction quality of life scale and SCL-90 symptom checklist-90（SCL-90） were scored respectively. @*Result@#The incidence of olfactory disorders in chronic sinusitis patients with nasal polyps was significantly higher than those without nasal polyps（χ²=37.133, P<0.001）. The quality of life score of the olfactory disturbance scale the quality of life score of the olfactory disturbance group（26.5±5.9） was significantly higher than that of the non olfactory disturbance group（11.76±3.58）（t=14.30, P<0.0001）. Life quality score（30.2±4.9） of female patients with olfactory dysfunction was significantly higher than that of male patients（22.3±4.0）（P<0.001）, The score of SCL-90 of chronic sinusitis patients with olfactory dysfunction（n=64） is 6.6（6.0-8.0）, while the score of SCL-90 of chronic sinusitis patients without olfactory dysfunction（n=41） is 7.0（6.2-7.6）, and there was no significant difference between the two groups（P>0.05）. @*Conclusion@#The risk of dysosmia in patients with Sinusitis polyps was significantly higher than that in patients without nasal polyps, and the quality of life in patients with Sinusitis was significantly lower than that in patients without sinusitis, women also had a greater impact on their quality of life than men, and Sinusitis patients with dysosmia had no significant impact on their mental health.
