O bjectives: We evaluated the guality of life of patients with nasal polyposis and sought correlations betvveen clin ical and laboratory param eters and guality of life.Patients and Methods: Thirty-two patients 8 females, 24 males; mean age 43 years; range 15 to 68 years with nasal polyposis were evaluated by history, physical exami- nation, endoscopy, computed tom ography CT , nasal smear, and skin prick tests. Guality of life was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 SF-36 .Results: The mean CT score showed a weak correlation with symptom and endoscopic scores p<0.05 , vvhereas the latter two scores were not correlated. Ali the SF-36 scales were adversely influenced, particularly including the scores for role limitation caused by emotional problems, general perception of health, vital- ity, and role limitation caused by physical problems. An inverse correlation was found betvveen increasing age and complaints of pain p<0.05 . Symptom scores were correlated only with role lim itation caused by emotional problems p<0.05 . Duration of nasal symptoms was correlated with increased scores for role limitation caused by physical problems, mental health, social functioning, and pain p<0.05 . Computed tomography stage was correlated with role limitation caused by emotional problems, pain, and social functioning, vvhereas CT scores shovved correlation only with pain p<0.05 . The presence of asthma adversely influenced general perception of health scores p<0.05 .Conclusion: Nasal polyposis adversely affects the guality of life of patients, the extent of deterioration being more prom inent in certain subscales.
