“…Longterm impaired nasal patency is observed in patients with chronic rhinitis and paranasal sinusitis, where ENT examination shows discharge into the nasal cavities or at the back of the throat. Such children experience pain, a feeling of fullness in the face and have an impaired sense of smell [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. Having a worse nasal patency usually leads to infection of the paranasal sinuses and ears.…”

“…Furthermore, an enlarged adenoid may impair the patency of the Eustachian tube which, inter alia, can lead to exudative otitis media, that may lead to hearing loss [49][50][51][52][53][54][55]. Symptoms of tonsil hypertrophy are snoring, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, speech disorders such as slurred speech, and dysphagia (especially with solid foods) [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]51,55].…”

Introduction:The concept of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is nowadays increasingly and more broadly used for evaluating the effectiveness of medical treatment, superseding the earlier 'quality of life' . The reason is that subjective parameters have now been addedsuch as health, freedom, and happiness -to previous objective parameters such as social development and material wellbeing. The HRQOL concept applies equally well to otolaryngology and this selective review of the literature focuses on HRQOL outcomes in four childhood ENT diseases. Study aim is to retrospectively evaluate the literature on HRQOL in children hospitalised for chronic sinusitis, nasal septum deviation, adenoid hypertrophy, or hearing disease. Material and methods:Published studies and case reports were searched in Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and ORCID on quality of life based on paediatric patient questionnaires, whether completed by the subjects themselves or their parents. As well as confining results to the four selected illnesses, the following key words were used: health quality of life, otolaryngology/ENT, pediatrics/paediatrics. The review is selective, not comprehensive, with total results limited to 25 studies. Studies before 1999 were omitted because before then 'quality of life' was imprecisely defined.Results: HRQOL scores and well-being were found to significantly deteriorate in pediatric patients suffering from chronic sinusitis, nasal septum deviation, adenoid hypertrophy, or hearing disease. The main problems found were infection, inflammation, disruption to family life and child-parent interaction, fitness-related issues, reduced ENT patencies, and apnea.Conclusions: HRQOL significantly deteriorates in children suffering from the defined ENT diseases. Further studies are needed to cover all ENT diseases.

“…Sianturi et al, in their research, found a significant relationship between OSA and allergic rhinitis (p = 0.000) [11]. Then a study by Shah JA et al also found a significant relationship between OSA with a deviation of the nasal septum (p = 0.0004) and inferior turbinate hypertrophy (p = 0.03) [12]. Another study by Sunderram J et al found an association between OSA and rhinosinusitis (p = 0.006) [13].…”

“…shows that ESS with a cut-off value of 10 and AHI ≥ 5 has a sensitivity of 66% and a specificity of 48 %. 12 In healthy conditions, individuals usually breathe through the nose whether asleep or awake, and only 0-4% of sleep time are reported to breathe through the mouth. Nasal or nasal obstruction is the subjective perception of discomfort or difficulty breathing air through the nostrils/nostrils.…”

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder caused by repeated upper airway obstruction. In OSA patients, 46.5%-58% reported having symptoms of hypersomnolence or excessive daytime sleepiness, and it was the most common symptom. Nasal obstruction is considered a risk factor for sleeping and breathing problems and a common problem in OSA sufferers. Nasal obstruction in the general population can reach 30-40% and is a problem that is often consulted in primary or secondary health services. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the degree of nasal obstruction and OSA in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Indonesian Christian University, Class of 2018-2020. This study uses an analytic observation method with a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples of 74 people was obtained by purposive sampling technique. Respondents who met the criteria were assessed for the degree of nasal obstruction using the NOSE scale questionnaire, while OSA was assessed using the ESS questionnaire, and then the data were analyzed using the Chi-Square Test. The results of the Chi-Square statistical test obtained p value = 0.041. So it was concluded that there was a significant relationship between the degree of nasal obstruction and OSA in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Indonesian Christian University Class of 2018-2020.

“…1 While still significant, this lower incidence of CRS amongst adolescent patients leads to a paucity of data on the prevalence, incidence, and presentation of CRS and other sinonasal disorders in the adolescent population. 2 In the adult population, a number of factors are known to affect presentation and severity of CRS, including gender, age, and comorbidities (such as asthma, aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease, and presence of polyps). 3,4 Gender differences on sinonasal disorder-related QoL have recently been an area of further study in the adult population.…”

Objectives: To identify the differences in the impact of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) between female and male adolescent patients at presentation. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Methods: Adolescent patients, age 12 to 18 years old, presenting to our Otolaryngology clinic between August 2020 and April 2023 for CRS were asked to fill both the SNOT-22 and the SN5 forms. Female and male cohorts were compared regarding their demographics, comorbidities, subjective and objective disease measurements, and choice of treatment. Results: Sixty-six patients were included, 30 female and 36 male patients. There were no differences in age, allergic rhinitis, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, presence of nasal septal deviation, and objective disease severity ( P > .05 for all). At presentation, mean overall SNOT-22, ear/facial, sleep, and psychological domains were all higher in female patients (43vs 30.9, P = .02; 9.1vs 6, P = .03; 11.8vs 8.3, P = .07; 14.1vs 8.8, P = .02 respectively). SN5 scores and overall QoL visual analog scale were similar in females and males. Conclusion: Female patients with CRS show higher subjective disease burden. Incorporating data on gender-specific differences may be important to personalize treatment decision making.
