Description
Summary:Objectives To determine the Sinonasal Outcome Test 22 (SNOT 22) score in persons without chronic rhinosinusitis. Design and setting As part of a trans‐European study selected, respondents to a survey questionnaire were invited for a clinical visit. Subjective symptoms and rhinoscopy were used for the clinical diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis according to EPOS. Participants A total of 366 persons participated at the clinical visit and of these 268 did not have chronic rhinosinusitis. All participants completed the SNOT 22. Main Outcome measures The SNOT 22. Results The SNOT 22 score ranged from 0 to 67 with a mean score of 10.5 (CI: 9.1–11.9) and the median score was 7. Persons with allergic rhinitis and blue‐collar workers had a significant higher score. Conclusion The median value of 7 is taken as the normal SNOT 22 score in persons without CRS and can be used as a reference in clinical settings and research. Allergic rhinitis and occupation affect SNOT 22 in persons without CRS.
