| الوصف: | To compare the clinical presentations of individuals with nasal polyps detected by endoscopy in a general population sample with those of patients with nasal polyp disease seeking medical attention.A total of 38 individuals with nasal polyps from a population-based sample were compared with 38 matched controls and a third group consisting of 44 patients who presented to an outpatient clinic with symptoms and diagnosed nasal polyps Upper and lower airway symptoms were registered. Polyp size, peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF), olfactory function and health-related quality of life were measured.Compared with the individuals with nasal polyps in the population sample, patients actively seeking medical care for nasal polyposis experienced more symptoms of nasal blockage and an impaired sense of smell, and had more extensive polyps and reduced PNIF. There were equal frequencies of asthma symptoms in these two groups. Compared with the controls, the individuals with nasal polyps in the population sample had a greater frequency of asthma symptoms and aspirin intolerance and also experienced an impaired sense of smell.Nasal polyps alone, as seen occasionally, are indicative of airway disease involving the upper and lower respiratory tracts. |
