背景资料：本研究的目的是评估性别对慢性鼻窦炎患者健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）的影响。为了测量HRQOL，我们使用了德国版本的简明健康调查表36（SF-36; 8个分量表）和欧洲生活质量5维度（EQ-5D）（2个分量表）。对于所有SF-36分量表，我们使用基于规范的评分的一般德国population.Results：一百二十三例患者（45名妇女和78名男子）进行HRQOL评价在基线（术前）和3个月后鼻内鼻窦手术。与男性患者相比，女性患者在所有SF-36和一个EQ-5D分量表中的基线评分显著更差，3个月后仅在一个SF-36分量表中评分更差。3个月后，与常模评分相比，女性和男性的SF-36评分在7个分量表中均达到正常水平。结论：与男性相比，女性术前HRQOL评估较差。大多数女性和男性的SF-36分量表在3个月随访时达到正常水平。
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of gender on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with chronic sinusitisMethods: A prospectively administered survey was performed. For measuring HRQOL, we used the German versions of the Short Form 36 (SF-36; eight subscales) and the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) (two subscales). For all SF-36 subscales we used norm-based scoring of the general German population.Results: One hundred twenty-three patients (45 women and 78 men) underwent HRQOL evaluation at baseline (preoperatively) and 3 months after endonasal sinus surgery. Compared with male patients, female patients scored a significantly worse baseline in all SF-36 and one EQ-5D subscales and 3 months later in only one SF-36 subscale. Compared with the normbased scores, both women's and men's SF-36 scores reached normal levels in seven subscales after 3 months.Conclusion: Compared with men, women assessed preoperative HRQOL as being worse. Most women's and men's SF-36 subscales reached normal levels at the 3-month follow-up.
