Association between allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis on multislice computed tomography scan paranasal sinuses

Abstract

Rhinosinusitis is inflammation sinus mucosa, which is generally triggered by rhinitis, therefore it’s often called rhinosinusitis. Some predisposing factors include acute respiratory infection due to viruses, various rhinitis, especially allergic rhinitis. As many as 50 patients underwent MSCT-Scan SPN examinations in 2022 at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul. This research uses quantitative research methods with a cross-sectional analytical approach. The sampling technique in this research used total sampling. The data analysis used is univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square statistical test. From 47 samples, 25 people (53.2%) suffered from allergic rhinitis, 42 people (89.4%) suffered from chronic rhinosinusitis. Female patients showed the most chronic rhinosinusitis features on MSCT-Scan Paranasal Sinuses examination as many as 24 people (57.31%), with the highest age being 36-45 years as many as 14 people (33.3%). The highest frequency of chronic rhinosinusitis features was the unilateral maxillary type with 31 cases (18.6%). The calculation results of the relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis show a P-Value of 0.352. We highlighted that there is no significant relationship between allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis on MSCT-Scan Paranasal Sinuses at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul for the period January-December 2022.
