The validity of the Rhinosinusitis Disability Index in chronic sinusitis

Year 2007, Volume: 17 Issue: 3, 138 - 142, 23.05.2007

Abstract

Objectives: Ouality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis is affected more than many other chronic diseases. İn this study, we evaluated the validity of Rhinosinusitis Disability lndex RSDI in assessing deterioration in the quality of life.Patients and Methods: Rhinosinusitis Disability lndex consisting of 30 items was administered to 355 patients 206 males, 149 females; mean age 41 years; range 21 to 57 years with chronic rhinosi­ nusitis before and after treatment and to 112 healthy Controls 44 males, 68 females; mean age 35 years; range 18 to 48 years . A detailed history was taken from the patients and skin-prick test was performed to eliminate allergic rhinitis. The scores of patients and physicians were compared. The score of RSDI is inversely proportional to the quality of life.Results: Spearman rank correlation test yielded a coefficient of 0.42 for comparisons between pre- and post-treatment scores and physician evaluation.Coefficients for correlations between the patients’ and physician’s scores before and after treatment were 0.62 and 0.59, respectively. The mean RSDI scores of the patients before and after treatment were 35.2±14.3 and 13.9±10.8, respectively, com­ pared to a score of 8.4±8.8 of the control group.Only 72.4% of the patients could answer the ques- tions by themselves.Conclusion: If properly administered, RSDI is a reli- able method in evaluating quality of life; however, it is affected by the socioeconomic and education lev- els of the participants.

Kronik sinüzitte Rinosinüzit Etkilenme İndeksi'nin geçerliliği

Year 2007, Volume: 17 Issue: 3, 138 - 142, 23.05.2007

Abstract

Amaç: Kronik rinosinüzitli hastalarda yaşam kalitesidiğer birçok kronik hastalığa göre daha fazla etkilenmektedir. Yaşam kalitesindeki bu azalmanın değerlendirilmesi amacıyla Rinosinüzit Etkilenme İndeksi’nin RSEİ geçerliliği araştırıldı.Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada kronik rinosinüziti olan 355 hastaya ve 112 sağlıklı bireye 30 soruluk RSEİ formu uygulandı. Tüm hastalardan ayrıntılı öykü alındı; alerjik rinitli olguların elenmesiiçin prick test yapıldı ve RSEİ tedavi öncesi vesonrasında uygulandı. Hasta ve hekimin hastalıklailgili genel değerlendirmeleri puanlandı. Uygulanan indeksle elde edilen puan, yaşam kalitesi ileters orantılıdır.Bulgular: Spearman rank korelasyon testinde, tedavi öncesi ve sonrası skorlar ile hekim değerlendirmeleri arasındaki bağlılaşım her biri için r=0.42 olarak hesaplandı. Hasta ve hekim değerlendirmeleriarasındaki bağlılaşım tedavi öncesi için r=0.62, tedavi sonrası için r=0.59 olarak bulundu. Sorularınpuanlaması sonucu elde edilen ortalama skor sağlıklı bireylerde 8.4±8.8, hasta bireylerde tedavi öncesinde 35.2±14.3, tedavi sonrasında ise 13.9±10.8olarak bulundu. Hastaların ancak %72.4’ü sorularıtek başına anlayıp yanıtlayabildi.Sonuç: Rinosinüzit Etkilenme İndeksi, doğru yanıtlandırıldığında güvenilir bir ölçüm aracıdır; ancak,uygulandığı bireylerin sosyoekonomik ve eğitim düzeylerinden etkilenmektedir
