目标/假设。对鼻瓣膜受损和症状性鼻塞患者的疾病特异性生活质量（QOL）评估以前尚未研究。本研究的目的是确定鼻瓣膜手术治疗是否改善疾病特异性QOL，并确定预测患者基线QOL或QOL变化的临床或人口统计学变量。研究设计：对20例鼻阻塞患者进行前瞻性、多机构结局研究，诊断为鼻瓣膜受损可手术治疗。方法.在术前（n = 20）、术后3个月（n = 14）和6个月（n = 20）使用鼻塞症状评价（NOSE）量表进行疾病特异性QOL评估。收集临床和人口统计学数据，沿着医生报告的鼻塞程度评估。结果从基线到术后3个月，平均NOSE评分显著改善（68.9 vs. 20.7 [P
Objectives/Hypothesis. Disease-specific quality-of-life (QOL) assessment of patients with nasal valve compromise and symptomatic nasal obstruction has not been studied previously. The objectives of the study were to determine whether surgical treatment of the nasal valve improves disease-specific QOL and to identify clinical or demographic variables predictive of patients' baseline QOL or change in QOL. Study Design Prospective, multi-institutional outcomes study of 20 patients with nasal obstruction and a surgically treatable diagnosis of nasal valve compromise. Methods. Disease-specific QOL assessment was performed using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale preoperatively (n = 20) and at 3 (n = 14) and 6 months (n = 20) after surgery. Clinical and demographic data were collected, along with physician-reported assessments of degree of nasal obstruction. Results. Mean NOSE scores significantly improved from baseline to 3 months after surgery (68.9 vs. 20.7 [P
