Correlation Between Total Nasal Symptoms Score (TNSS) and Quality of Life of Chronic Rhinosinusitis Patients in ENT Outpatient Clinic of Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah General Hospital Denpasar in 2021

Introduction:  Rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses. Acute rhinosinusitis that is not treated properly can progress to chronic rhinosinusitis. Chronic rhinosinusitis can lead to impaired quality of life.  Until now there is no data regarding the relationship of TNSS to the quality of life of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis based on SNOT-22, therefore researchers want to conduct research on the relationship of TNSS to the quality of life of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis based on SNOT-22. Methods: This study was a retrospective analytical study with a cross-sectional study design. Results:  There was a significant relationship with a strong correlation (r=0.724) between TNSS and the quality of life of chronic rhinosinusitis patients. Conclusion:  There was a significant relationship with a strong correlation (r=0.724) between TNSS and the quality of life of chronic rhinosinusitis patients at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah General Hospital Denpasar.
