Abstract

Nasal Inspiratory Peak Flow (NIPF) is an easy, reliable, inexpensive, and easy-to-measure objective test with a good specificity to measure changes in nasal obstruction on the other hand, sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) is questionnaire designed for general health and rhinologic issues. Henceforth, the aim was to evaluate the link between NIPF and SNOT-22 scores before and after surgery. 34 patients underwent clinical & radiological examination followed by questionnaire study before and after the surgery. We found that, no significant change between NIPF & SNOT-22 scores for both age and gender aspect. Thus, pre-op SNOT-22 evaluation can be made a routine exercise as it is equally reliable and highly cost effective as compared to NIPF.
