Pediatric septoplasty and functional septorhinoplasty: A quality of life outcome study

This study assessed disease-specific quality-of-life outcomes among pediatric patients undergoing septoplasty or functional septorhinoplasty. The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score was obtained pre- and post-operatively. Additional analyses determined whether demographics, nasal trauma, prior nasal surgery, or allergic rhinitis history affected NOSE scores.
