Septoplasty: defining a desirable clinical outcome according to baseline symptom scores by Rolf Haye, Rolf Haye, Liv Kari Døsen, Magnus TarAngen, Caryl Gay, Are Hugo Pripp, Olga Shiryaeva

“…The cohort was divided into three subgroups (moderate, severe, very severe) according to preoperative severity of nasal obstruction (VAS score) for assessing the relation between DCID and baseline obstruction severity.ResultsThe DCID increased with increasing severity of baseline nasal obstruction: 27.5 (moderate), 44.5 (severe), and 56.0 (very severe), as did the relative DCID: 49.6% (moderate), 56.8% (severe), and 61.3% (very severe).ConclusionThe relative DCID can be a guide for assessing improvement following septoplasty according to baseline scores of nasal obstruction and for planning surgery. A 49% improvement from baseline is indicative of clinical success for a patient with moderately obstructed nasal breathing, whereas patients with very severe obstruction require a 61% improvement.…”
