[Effect of APP on prognosis in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis after endoscopic sinus surgery]
1Nursing Department, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, 450052, China.
Abstract:
Objective:To investigate interventional effect of APP on prognosis in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis after endoscopic sinus surgery. Method:One hundred and forty-four chronic rhinosinusitis patients in our hospital were divided into observation group and control group randomly; observation group had 71 patients, and control group had 73 patients. The control group was treated with standard discharge instruction. In addition to standard discharge instruction, observation group was followed up and directed by using of APP. Two groups' VAS scores and Lund-Kennedy scores were compared in admission time, and 6 months after discharge. Result:There was no significant difference in the Lund-Kennedy scores and VAS scores between the two groups in admission time. However, 6 months after discharge, Lund-Kennedy scores and VAS scores in observation group were obviously lower than control group(P< 0.05). Conclusion:The use of healthy APP can significantly promote patients with chronic rhinosinusitis recovery and re-visit after endoscopic sinus surgery.
