[To explore the role of CT scan in the diagnosis of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis].

Objective: We explored the role of CT scan in the diagnosis of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) in sinus osteitis for a better guidance of clinic and treatment. Method: A total of 127 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who underwent primary surgery were collected(52 patients were ECRS). Seventy-five patients with NonECRS performed global osteitis scoring scale (GOSS) osteitis score on the patient's preoperative sinus CT. Mamn-Whitney U analysis was used to compare the GOSS osteitis scores between the two groups. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed on the statistically significant indicators to find predictive GOSS osteitis scores. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis was performed on meaningful indicators to analyze the relationship among the cutoff values the sensitivity and the specificity to find the best cutoff value. Result: The osteitis evaluation index GOSS osteitis total score,ethmoid osteitis scores(GOSS-E), ethmoid osteitis score compared with the maxillary osteitis score (GOSS-E/M), posterior group ethmoid sinus osteitis score compared with the former group ethmoid sinus osteitis score (GOSS-PE/AE), anterior ethmoid osteitis scores (GOSS-AE), posterior ethmoid osteitis scores (GOSS-PE), sphenoid osteitis scores (GOSS-S), ECRS significantly higher than NonECRS( P <0.05); binary logistic regression analysis and ROC curve analysis were performed. When the cut-off value of the ethmoid osteitis score was >4.5 (area under the curve was 0.690), the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 62% and 71%, respectively. Conclusion: When the ethmoid sinus CT is used to obtain a ethmoid osteitis score of >4.5,the ECRS can be diagnosed clinically.
