title: [Study on the correlation between the severity of chronic rhinosinusitis and bronchial asthma and pulmonary function].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the correlation between the severity of patients with rhinitis-nasosinusitis and the bronchial asthma and the pulmonary function.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty-four cases of patients with rhinitis-nasosinusitis and 53 cases of patients with chronic sinusitis from June 2012 to September 2013 were randomly selected, and the patients were divided into group of rhinitis-nasosinusitis with nasal polyps and group of chronic sinusitis according to disease species, and analyzed the correlation between the severity of the deseases and the changes of the pulmonary function respectively for the patients of two groups by using Spearman method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The incidence of asthma for patients with different levels of sinusitis and nasal polyps seemed no significant difference (P > 0.05); the incidence of allergic rhinitis also seemed no significant difference (P > 0.05); the incidence of asthma for patients with different lesion range of sinusitis and nasal polyps seemed no significant difference (P > 0.05); the incidence of allergic rhinitis also seemed no significant different (P < 0.05). The conditions of the patients with different levels of sinusitis and nasal polyps were directly related to the reduction of pulmonary function (r = 2.431, P < 0.05); The conditions of the patients with different lesion range of sinusitis were directly related to the reduction of pulmonary function (r = 2.641, P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There was some correlation between the severity of patients with rhinitis-nasosinusitis and the bronchial asthma and the condition of pulmonary function of patients.
