Abstract:Objective This study aimed to explore the predictive value of the preoperative sinus CT Lund-Mackay score in the selection of nasal packing after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 50 patients with inflammatory lesions of paranasal sinuses were enrolled in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of Bengbu First People's Hospital from May 2015 to January 2020. All patients performed CT and CT score (including the Lund-Mackay score and total CT score of ethmoid sinus) before operation. All the 50 patients received Messerklinger FESS treatment and postoperative nasal packing for hemostasis. On the basis of different nasal packing materials, the patients were divided into the Vaseline packing group and gelatin sponge packing group, with 25 cases in each group. The visual analog scale (VAS), total blood loss after packing, and CT score of paranasal sinuses were evaluated before surgery and 48 h after surgery. Hemorrhage <5 mL during tamponading was considered as satisfactory. Logistic regression analysis was used to predict the risk factors suitable for gelatin sponge stuffing based on the sinus CT score of paranasal sinuses. The optimal cut-off value was determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under curve (AUC) was used to predict the CT score of the paranasal sinuses suitable for gelatin sponge stuffing.Results No statistical significance in gender, pathological nature and side, and preoperative VAS scores (including nasal congestion, runny nose, dysosmia, and head and facial pain VAS) was found between the two groups (all P values>0.05). Twenty-five cases (100%) in the Vaseline group and 23 cases (92%) in gelatin sponge group achieved hemostasis, no significant difference was found between the two groups(P>0.05). No significant difference VAS of runny nose during postoperative filling, and total blood loss after filling (all P values>0.05) was found between the gelatin sponge group and Vaseline group. Nasal congestion VAS, head and facial pain VAS, and dysosmia VAS were lower, and the differences were statistically significant (t=4.324、4.861、5.207, all P values<0.05). The total score of paranasal sinus CT of sinuses and the ethmoid sinus CT score in the gelatin sponge group [(8.2±1.2) points, (3.1±1.9) points] were lower than those in the Vaseline group [(15.0±4.0) points, (6.5±1.4) points]. The differences were statistically significant (t=6.383, 7.171, all P values<0.01). The total paranasal sinus CT score [odds ratio (OR)=1.366 (95% CI 1.004-1.860)] and ethmoid sinus CT score [the sum of anterior and posterior sieve scores, OR=2.155 (95% CI 1.155-4.021)] were significantly correlated with the hemostatic satisfaction of gelatin sponge packing (all P values<0.05). The ROC curve showed that both groups had a high predictive value with hemostatic satisfaction of gelatin sponge packing (AUC values were 0.91 and 0.92 respectively, all P values<0.05). When the total CT score of paranasal sinuses was less than 9.5, the Yoden index was 0.80, and the sensitivity and specificity of predicting gelatin sponge packing were 84.0% and 96.0%, respectively. When the total score of the ethmoid sinus was less than 4.5, the Yoden index was 0.68, and the sensitivity and specificity of gelatin sponge packing were 76.0% and 92.0%, respectively.Conclusions The evaluation of the CT score of the paranasal sinus before FESS is of certain significance in predicting the use of reasonable nasal packing after operation. When the total score of CT of the paranasal sinus and CT of the ethmoid sinus is low, gelatin sponge can be used for cavity packing, which can not only effectively stop bleeding, but also improve the comfort of patients.
