Abstract
Background: Endoscopic polyp-grading system is commonly used for the assessment of patients with Sino nasal polyposis. However, its strength has not been examined before against any objective measure. Aim of the Work: To assess the strength of endoscopic polyp-grading system against valid objective measures and to explore the association between both of them, because endoscopic polyp-grading system is a common assessment procedure in patients with Sino nasal polyposis. Results: Hypo nasality is the main symptoms affect quality of life in all patients (100%) with bilateral Sino nasal polyposis suffered from variable degrees of nasal obstruction. standardized endoscopic polyp-grading system to assess the extent of nasal polyp in clinical practice and to measure the effect of reflected hypo nasality in patients. These grading scales divided patients into 4 groups according to the size and extension of polyp in the nasal cavity. Comparison between the grades of polyp in endoscopic polyp-grading system and NOSE scale, Lund MacKay system, and Nasometry revealed strong positive correlation (P value: 0.000, 0.000, 0.001 respectively). Relation between patient’s results and types of graft used showed no statistically significant differences between them. Conclusion: This study showed the endoscopic polyp-grading system can be used as a reliable tool for the assessment of patients with Sino nasal polyposis
