Changes of nasalance scores in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis

C hronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses. Hong et al.1 had reported significantly lower nasalance scores for nasal sentences in patients with CRS compared to normal adults. Otherwise, recent studies have primarily focused on comparing the changes in the nasalance scores of patients with CRS before and after sinonasal surgeries.2,3 There is a lack of in-depth investigations on the differences between the nasalance of patients with CRS and healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of CRS on nasalance scores and to investigate the correlation between the severity of CRS and the nasalance scores.
