Nasal valve surgery: assessment of quality of life with the Glasgow Benefit Inventory
Open accessAbstract
We used the 18-question Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) to conduct a retrospective assessment of quality of life following nasal valve surgery. We telephoned 53 patients who had undergone open rhinoplasty for the treatment of nasal valve collapse over a 2-year period. A total of 39 patients--24 men and 15 women, aged 20 to 50 years (mean: 38)--agreed to participate and answer the questions. Follow-up ranged from 3 to 12 months (mean: 8). The spectrum of possible GBI scores ranges from -100 (maximum negative outcome) to 0 (no change) to +100 (maximum benefit); in our group, the median total score was +56 (interquartile range: +32 to +90.5) and the overall total score was +58. The three subscale components of the GBI--general benefit, physical benefit, and social benefit--were analyzed individually; the respective median scores were +46 (+21 to +71), +67 (+25 to +91.5), and +50 (+17 to +100), and the respective overall scores were +60, +59, and +50. Based on these findings, we conclude that nasal valve surgery significantly improves quality of life.

The internal and external nasal valves function together to deliver laminar airflow to the nasal cavities for humidification.
“The internal and external nasal valves function together to deliver laminar airflow to the nasal cavities for humidification [15].”
From Functional Rhinoplasty. (2023) · cites this paper as [15]
The Anatomy section describes both the internal and external nasal valves and says airflow through the nasal valve promotes air conditioning, including humidification. It does not say the two valves work together to deliver laminar airflow; instead, it suggests that turbulence may help humidification. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe deceleration of airflow along with increased turbulent forces contribute to humidification, heating, filtering, and olfaction.
“The deceleration of airflow along with increased turbulent forces contribute to humidification, heating, filtering, and olfaction [7,15].”
From Functional Rhinoplasty. (2023) · cites this paper as [15]
The Anatomy/Physiology passage says nasal airflow optimizes contact with the mucosa and that turbulence may help humidification, filtering, and olfaction. It does not identify airflow deceleration as the cause, and it does not explicitly name heating; the citing sentence also states the turbulence effect more definitively than the source does. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredInspiratory nasal airflow follows a parabolic curve through the nasal valve and optimizes contact between the airstream and the mucosal surface.

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.
