The Lund‐Mackay staging system for chronic rhinosinusitis: How is it used and what does it predict?
Abstract
Objectives: The Lund‐Mackay score is widely used in assessment of chronic rhinosinusitis. We aimed to describe its relationship to other measures of pre‐ and post‐treatment health status. Study Design: Multicenter prospective study of 1840 patients undergoing surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis in the UK. Results: There was no absolute threshold for surgery, but patients with higher Lund‐Mackay scores underwent more extensive surgery. There was no correlation between Lund‐Mackay and SNOT‐22 scores. The Lund‐Mackay increased with increasing grade of polyposis. The Lund‐Mackay score was associated with symptom reduction (coefficient = 0.24, P = 0.02) complication rates (odds ratio, 1.08, 95%CI 1.06 to 1.1), and revision rates (odds ratio, 1.03, 95% CI 1.001 to 1.06). Conclusions: The Lund‐Mackay score measures a different aspect of disease to “subjective” symptom scores. However, it correlates well with other markers of disease severity, the nature of surgery offered, and its outcome. Significance: This demonstrates the strengths and limitations of a commonly used staging system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
