Objective:
To assess the change in health status of patients undergoing rhinoplasty.
Design:
Retrospective mail-based questionnaire study using a validated post-intervention questionnaire specifically designed for otolaryngology surgery.
Setting:
District general hospital otolaryngology department.
Patients:
All patients (78 in total) undergoing rhinoplasty surgery between October 1998 and November 2003 were included in the study.
Main Outcome Measure:
Glasgow Benefit Inventory, a validated post-intervention questionnaire specifically designed for otolaryngologic surgery.
Results:
The mean total Glasgow Benefit Inventory score was +20.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 14.2-25.9), and the mean general, social, and physical subscale scores were +25.0 (95% CI 17.3-32.7), +10.2 (95% CI 4.4-16.0), and +9.9 (95% CI 2.7-17.0), respectively.
Conclusions:
Our results show that the health status of patients undergoing rhinoplasty improved overall and according to each of the subscales used.
