SNOT‐22 score patterns strongly negatively predict chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with headache

Abstract

Patients with non-sinogenic headache have distinct SNOT-22 score patterns compared with patients with CRS. A domain 3 (Ear/facial)/domain 1 (Rhinologic) ratio greater than 0.66 is a strong negative predictor of CRS, which can be used to aid in patient counseling and potentially limit the use of unnecessary sinonasal therapeutics.
