¸ñÀû: A high growth of the studies considering chronic rhinosinusitis
with nasalpolyps is
evident over the last years. However, epidemiologic studies
differ significantly as various
diagnostic methods are used and therefore it is not always
possible to sufficiently
compare them. Above-mentioned facts impede estimation of the real
rates and
tendencies of nasal polyposis morbidity. Thus, it is possible to
assume that preventive
health examinations are more informative. ¹æ¹ý:A total of 4462 patients were examined during routine ENT
preventive health
examinations, both males and females in the 20 to above 60 years
age group. Diagnostic
workup included diligent history and complaints analysis, endoscopy
of the ear, nose and
throat. °á°ú:Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps was diagnosed in 1,32%. Amongdiagnosed
prevailed patients in age groups 50-59 and 40-49 years (74,6%). Numberof examined
male and female patients in age group 30-39 were 2,7 times higher than of the patients in
age group above 60 years. There was no disease recorded in age group 20-29. Sex
distribution was the same in age group from 30 to 49 years. However, in age group above
50 years male morbidity was higher. Besides, approximately every seventh (13,6%)
patient had preceding surgical treatment of nasal polyposis. °á·Ð:The prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
inexamined cohort was
comparable with the morbidity reports from other regions. |
