Abstract

Background: Nasal cavity length (NCL) is important for determining analyzed nasal segment (ANS) of acoustic rhinometry (AR). AR is a technique for nasal airway assessment which nasal cross-sectional areas and nasal volume (NV) are obtained. NCL or ANS is the important parameter to determine NV measured by AR. The ANS used to calculate NV in previous literatures vary from 4 to 8 cm. However, there has not been any study regarding NCL of Asians which is probably different from that of Western countries.

Objectives: To measure NCL in Thai adults using nasal telescope and compared NCL between left and right sides as well as male and female as well as among age groups.

Design: Prospective study.

Methods: This study was performed on patients, aged 18-95 years, who underwent nasal telescopy under local anesthesia at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Siriraj Hospital. Baseline characteristics (sex and age) of patients were collected. NCL (from anterior nasal spine to posterior edge of nasal septum) of both nasal cavities was measured using rigid nasal telescope of 0 degree. Mean NCL length of both nasal cavities was calculated.

Results: There were 1277 patients, with 498 (39%) male and 779 (61%) female. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) of NCL of male was 6 ± 0.6 cm whereas that of female was 5.7 ± 0.5 cm. There were no significant differences in NCL between left and right sides as well as among age groups in each gender (p > 0.05 all). However, male had significantly longer NCL compared with that of female (p < 0.001). The mean ± SD of NCL of total population was 5.9 ± 0.6 cm.

Conclusion: The NCL of Thais was approximately 6 cm. These data are useful to determine ANS used to calculate NV when AR is performed.

Plain language summaries: The length of nasal cavity (LNC) is important variable for acoustic rhinometry (AR) which is the instrument to measure nasal volume (NV). We use AR in clinical researches to diagnose and monitor the results of treatment of nose and sinus diseasesThe LNC used to calculate NV in previous studies vary from 4 to 8 cm. However, there has not been any study of LNC of Asians which is probably different from that of Western countriesWe measured LNC in 1277 Thai adults, aged 18-95 years, with 498 (39%) male and 779 (61%) female using nasal rigid endoscope and compared LNC between male and female.The average of LNC was 5.9 cm. Male had longer LNC compared with that female. The LNC of Thais was approximately 6 cm. These data are useful for AR to calculate NV.

泰国成人鼻腔长度或鼻段声学测量分析。
背景:鼻腔长度(NCL)是确定声学鼻测量(AR)分析鼻段(ANS)的重要指标。AR是一种通过测量鼻横截面积和鼻容积来评估鼻气道的技术。NCL或ANS是确定AR测量NV的重要参数,以往文献中用于计算NV的ANS在4 ~ 8 cm之间。然而,目前还没有关于亚洲人NCL的研究,这可能与西方国家有所不同。目的:使用鼻望远镜测量泰国成年人的NCL,并比较左右两侧、男性和女性以及不同年龄组的NCL。设计:前瞻性研究。方法:年龄18-95岁,在Siriraj医院耳鼻喉科局部麻醉下行鼻部缩窄术的患者。收集患者的基线特征(性别和年龄)。采用0度刚性鼻望远镜测量两鼻腔NCL(鼻前棘至鼻中隔后缘)。计算两个鼻腔NCL的平均长度。结果:1277例患者中,男性498例(39%),女性779例(61%)。男性NCL的平均±标准差为6±0.6 cm,女性为5.7±0.5 cm。NCL在左右两侧、各性别年龄组间差异均无统计学意义(p > 0.05)。结论:泰国人的NCL约为6 cm。当进行AR时,这些数据对于确定用于计算NV的ANS是有用的。鼻腔长度(LNC)是测量鼻体积(NV)的声学鼻测量仪(AR)的重要变量。我们在临床研究中使用AR来诊断和监测鼻窦疾病的治疗结果。在以往的研究中,用于计算NV的LNC从4到8 cm不等。然而,没有任何关于亚洲人LNC的研究,这可能与西方国家不同。我们使用鼻刚性内窥镜测量了1277名年龄在18-95岁的泰国成年人的LNC,其中498名(39%)男性和779名(61%)女性,并比较了男性和女性的LNC。LNC平均5.9 cm。男性的LNC比女性长。泰国人的LNC约为6厘米。这些数据对AR计算NV很有帮助。
