Effect of Nasal Obstructive Disorders on Sinonasal Symptoms in Children with Different Levels of Bronchial Asthma Control
Table 7
The values of the TNSS scores, SNOT-20 scores, and the shortened version of SNOT-20 in patients with different levels of BA control, quantified using the ACQ-5 test.
Patient groups
Complete control of asthma (ACQ-5 < 0.75)
