Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, sistemik tedavi altında klinik remisyonda olan Granülomatozis Polianjitis (GPA) hastalarında devam eden rinolojik morbiditenin boyutunu, subjektif bir yaşam kalitesi ölçeği olan Sinonazal Sonuç Testi-22 (SNOT-22) ve objektif bir nazal fonksiyon testi olan Nazal İnspiratuar Tepe Akım Hızı (PNIF) kullanarak kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirmek, bu iki ölçüm arasındaki ve klinik bulgularla olan ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Prospektif ve kesitsel olarak tasarlanan bu çalışmaya 71 adet GPA tanısı almış, sistemik immünsüpresif tedavi alan hasta ve yaş-cinsiyet uyumlu 50 sağlıklı kontrol dahil edildi. Katılımcıların demografik verileri, SNOT-22 anket skorları ve PNIF değerleri kaydedildi. Hasta grubunda ayrıca detaylı otorinolaringolojik anamnez ve endoskopik muayene bulguları toplandı. Trakeotomi nedeniyle SNOT-22 ve PNIF testleri 69 hasta üzerinden analiz edildi. Verilerin istatistiksel analizinde Mann-Whitney U ve Spearman korelasyon testleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: GPA hasta grubunun ortanca PNIF değeri 90 L/dk, sağlıklı kontrol grubu PNIF değeri 130 L/dk bulundu. Hasta grubunda istatistiksel olarak ileri düzeyde anlamlı düşüktü (p<0,001). Hastaların ortanca toplam SNOT-22 skoru 26,0 olup, orta düzeyde bir hastalık yükünü göstermiştir. Çalışmanın temel bulgusu olarak, toplam SNOT-22 skoru ile PNIF değeri arasında güçlü, negatif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon saptandı (r=-0,621, p<0,001). Anormal nazal endoskopi bulguları, hem daha düşük PNIF (p=0,011) hem de daha yüksek SNOT-22 skorları (p<0,001) ile ilişkiliydi. Özellikle nazal kabuklanma, septal perforasyon ve semer burun deformitesi gibi hasarlar, kötü fonksiyonel ve semptomatik sonuçlarla ilişkili bulunmuştur. Sonuç: SNOT-22 ve PNIF sonuçları, GPA hastalarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif korelasyon göstermektedir. Rinolojik muayenede hastalık tutulumu bulgusunun varlığı durumunda da SNOT-22 ve PNIF sonuçları negatif korele bulunmuş ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı görülmüştür. Bu bulgular neticesinde SNOT-22 ve PNIF GPA hastalarında rinolojik tutulum varlığını gösterme konusunda rutin değerlendirmelerde kullanılabilir.
Objective: The aim of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the extent of persistent rhinological morbidity in patients with Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) who are in clinical remission under systemic treatment, using the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) as a subjective quality-oflife measure and Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF) as an objective assessment of nasal function. Additionally, the relationship between these two measurements and clinical findings was investigated. Materials and Methods: This prospective and cross-sectional study included 71 patients diagnosed with GPA and receiving systemic immunosuppressive therapy, along with 50 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Demographic data, SNOT-22 scores, and PNIF values were recorded for all participants. In the patient group, a detailed otorhinolaryngologic history and nasal endoscopic examination were also performed. Due to tracheotomy, SNOT-22 and PNIF evaluations were conducted on 69 patients. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation test. Results: The median PNIF value in the GPA patient group (90 L/min) was significantly lower than that of the healthy control group (130 L/min) (p<0.001). The median total SNOT-22 score of the patients was 26.0, indicating a moderate burden of disease. A strong, negative, and statistically significant correlation was found between the total SNOT-22 score and PNIF values (r = -0.621, p < 0.001). Abnormal nasal endoscopic findings were associated with both lower PNIF values (p = 0.011) and higher SNOT-22 scores (p < 0.001). Specifically, nasal crusting, septal perforation, and saddle nose deformity were found to be related to poorer functional and symptomatic outcomes. Conclusion: SNOT-22 and PNIF scores showed a statistically significant negative correlation in GPA patients. The presence of rhinological involvement on endoscopic examination was also associated with this inverse relationship between SNOT-22 and PNIF scores. These findings suggest that the combined use of SNOT-22 and PNIF may serve as practical and effective tools for the routine assessment of sinonasal involvement in GPA patients.
