The use of nasal spirometry for the assessment of unilateral nasal obstruction associated with changes in posture in healthy subjects and subjects with upper respiratory tract infection
Abstract
Nasal spirometry was used to measure the effect of acute rhinitis associated with upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) on the changes in nasal airflow that occur with postural change. Results in 12 healthy subjects and 12 subjects with URTI were expressed as the nasal partitioning of airflow ratio (NPR), a new measure of nasal airflow. Values of NPR range from 0 (equality of airflow) to 1 (unilateral nasal obstruction). In subjects with URTI there was a significant change (P < 0.006) in the median NPR from 0.19 sitting to 0.87 supine, with five subjects having complete unilateral nasal obstruction. The change in the median NPR in the healthy subjects from 0.09 sitting to 0.13 supine was not significant. The results illustrate the incidence of complete unilateral nasal obstruction associated with URTI when lying flat and demonstrate the usefulness of nasal spirometry in studying nasal airflow partitioning in health and disease.

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.
