Visual Analog Scale (Vas) and Nasal Obstruction in Persistent Allergic Rhinitis
Abstract
Objective Nasal airflow resistance, as measured by rhinomanometry, is frequently impaired in allergic rhinitis (AR). However, rhinomanometry is scarcely available. The aim of this study was to verify the suitability of the use of visual analog scales (VAS) as a surrogate for rhinomanometry in quantifying nasal obstruction in patients with persistent allergic rhinitis. Study design Prospective study on patients with allergic rhinitis. Setting ENT clinic. Subjects and methods Fifty patients (27 males, mean age 23 years, SD 2.24) were studied. VAS for nasal obstruction and other AR symptoms and rhinomanometry were performed in all patients. Results A significant, very strong correlation has been observed between VAS for nasal obstruction and nasal airflow resistance (Spearman r = 0.879, P Conclusion The use of VAS for assessing the nasal obstruction appears clinically relevant in that it allows, with good reliability, the quantification of this symptom in the absence of rhinomanometry.

The visual analog scale is a well-studied tool for assessing the severity of nasal obstruction and has been validated with reference to other subjective measures such as symptom score and to objective measures such as rhinomanometry, acoustic rhinometry, and peak nasal inspiratory flow in adults and nasal endoscopy in children.
“The VAS is a well-studied tool for assessing the severity of NO and has been validated with reference to other subjective measures such as symptom score [31] and to objective measures such as rhinomanometry (RMN), acoustic rhinometry (AcR), and peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) in adults [32,33] and nasal endoscopy in children [34].”

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.
