Abstract:Abstract:ObjectiveTo quantitatively investigate the results of clinical symptoms, quality of life (QOL) and psychological status in the patients with nasal complications after transsphenoidal pituitary adenomas resection via comparing scores preand postdisposal of nasal complications, so as to provide theoretical basis of efficacy and safety for the disposal.MethodsRhinologic specialty treatment was given to the patients with nasal complications after transsphenoidal pituitary adenomas resection.Preand postdisposal, all the patients received evaluation of clinical symptoms with nasal clinical symptom scoring,assessment of QOL and psychological status with visual analog scale(VAS) and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire(RQLQ) assessment scale.ResultsNasal complications occurred in 26 cases after transsphenoidal pituitary adenomas resection.The differences of nasal symptom scores and VAS before and after disposal of nasal complications were both statistically significant (both P<0.01). The differences of total RQLQ and fivedimensions assessment scales including daily activity, sleep, nonnose/eye symptoms, nasal symptoms, and emotional reaction were all statistically significant (all P<0.01), while those of ocular symptoms, behavioral problems were statistically indifferent(both P>0.05).ConclusionTimely disposal of the nasal complications after transsphenoidal pituitary adenomas resectioncan significantly improve the patients’ clinical symptoms and QOL.
