What is Correlation between SN‐5 and computed tomography in children with chronic rhinosinusitis about?

## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Symptom score questionnaires for evaluation of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in adults does not correlate with computed tomography (CT) scan scores of paranasal sinuses. The SN‐5 is a validated symptom score questionnaire for the evaluation of CRS in children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation of the SN‐5 with the CT score in children. ## Study Design: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data. ## Methods: Thirty‐two children between the ages of 2 years and 12 years were seen prospectively for symptoms of CRS. The mean age was 7.7 years (range, 3.6–11.5; SD = 2.4). The caretakers completed the SN‐5 during their visit when a CT scan of the paranasal sinuses was obtained. ## Results: The mean SN‐5 score was 4.1 (SD = 1.03) and the mean Lund‐Mackay CT score was 6.8 (SD = 4.3). There was a significant correlation between the SN‐5 score and Lund‐MacKay CT score (ρ = 0.68; __P__ < .0001) for all children in the study. Twelve (38%) children had asthma, and for those children the correlation was poorer and did not reach statistical significance (ρ = 0 .57; __P__ = .057). For nonasthmatics the correlation was stronger (ρ
