The @entity8968 symptom evaluation survey as a screening tool for XXXX .

@entity1 @entity5494 @entity27 @entity25 @entity8968
OBJECTIVE: To determine if clinical data and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scores can be used to identify @entity1 at risk for @entity27 ( @entity27 ). DESIGN: Intake surveys using the NOSE, @entity25 ( @entity25 ), and Snore Outcomes Scale (SOS) were administered to new @entity1 visiting a facial plastic surgery practice and a rhinology practice. SETTING: An academic facial plastic surgery practice and an academic rhinology practice. @entity1 : New @entity1 to both practices. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: NOSE score and presence of septal deviation. RESULTS: The odds ratio (OR) for an @entity25 score higher than 10 was 2.98 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-7.57) when snoring was present; 5.5 (95% CI, 1.35-22.58) when the NOSE score was 10 or higher; and 3.3 (95% CI, 0.98-11.0) when a @entity5494 was found on clinical examination. The probability of an elevated @entity25 score was 88% when all 3 factors were present and 56% when the NOSE score was not elevated. Receiver operating characteristic analysis with predictors "snore" and NOSE score of 10 or higher had an area under the curve of 0.72. With a probability cutoff of 0.5, the sensitivity was 30%, and the specificity 90%. CONCLUSIONS: Sinonasal surgery is among the most common outpatient procedures performed in the United States each year. Many @entity1 undergoing sinonasal surgery have undiagnosed @entity27 or @entity8968 , a known risk factor for @entity27 . @entity1 with @entity27 have unique perioperative needs. In @entity1 with @entity8968 , a @entity5494 , and/or snoring, there is an association between the NOSE score and the @entity25 score. The NOSE survey may serve as a simple screening instrument instead of the @entity25 for @entity1 at risk for undiagnosed @entity27 and special perioperative needs.
