This study found that chronic maxillary sinusitis (MS) affected women 1.6 times more than men between 1999-2004. Treated women were also older on average than men.

Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Chronic maxillary sinusitis (MS) is a significant clinical concern.
  • Understanding demographic and clinical characteristics of MS patients is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A retrospective analysis of 346 patients treated for chronic MS (1999-2004) at Kaunas Hospital was conducted.
  • Data included sex distribution, age, laterality (dexter/sinister), presence of fistulas into the maxillary sinus, foreign bodies, and length of stay.

Findings:

  • Females constituted 61.6% of patients (213 females vs. 133 males).
  • The average age of females was 46.6 years, significantly older than males (42.1 years; p=0.0024).
  • Specific findings included 55 cases of chronic dexter MS with fistula, 98 without; 45 sinister MS with fistula, 112 without; and foreign bodies in 16 dexter and 20 sinister maxillary sinuses.

Implications:

  • The higher prevalence and older age of females with chronic MS suggest potential sex-specific risk factors or diagnostic patterns.
  • These findings can inform targeted prevention and treatment strategies for chronic maxillary sinusitis.
