Abstract:

Objectives    To explore a more proper follow-up method through comparative observation of post-operative outcomes in the two different follow-up groups of chronic rhinitis and rhino sinusitis. Methods    The effectiveness rate of the two groups were compared and analyzed according to the different follow-up methods. Results    In group A, 93 cases were cured, 72 cases were improved and 3 cases had no effect during six month follow-up; all cases were effective during twelve month follow-up (132 cases were cured, 36 cases were improved). In group B, 42 cases were cured, 129 cases were improved and 30 cases had no effect during six month follow-up; 72 cases were cured, 126 cases were improved and 3 cases had no effect during twelve month follow-up. The effective rate between group A and B was significantly different (χ2=55.01, P<0.01). Conclusion    Different follow-up standard can affect readjustment and application of the post-operative comprehensive treatment, and thus affect the overall curative effect of chronic rhinitis and rhino sinusitis.
