目的：为了评估慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者上气道症状对生活质量的影响，方法：65例中重度COPD患者采用20项鼻窦结局测试（SNOT-20）问卷进行了研究，该问卷是一种经验证的疾病特异性健康相关生活质量量表，用于评估鼻窦炎。患者还完成了圣乔治呼吸问卷（SGRQ）。结果：88%的患者在一周的大部分时间内出现鼻部症状，最常见的是溢液。平均SNOT-20评分为1.24，表明鼻部症状会损害生活质量。SNOT-20评分与慢性鼻部症状的数量相关（rho= 0.51，P
Objective: To assess the impact on quality of life from upper airway symptoms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods: Sixty-five patients with moderate-to-severe COPD were studied using the 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-20) questionnaire, a validated disease-specific health-related quality of life toot for the assessment of rhinosinusitis. Patients also completed the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ).Results: Eighty-eight percent of patients experienced nasal symptoms on most days of the week, most commonly rhinorrhoea. The mean SNOT-20 score of 1.24 demonstrates that nasal symptoms cause impairment to quality of life. The SNOT-20 score correlated with the number of chronic nasal symptoms (rho= 0.51, P
