Trial summary

We would like to investigate our hypothesis of a higher prevalence of nasal fracture in the history of idiopathic rhinitis (IR) patients compared to healthy controls. Therefore a retrospective analysis of 310 patients with a nasal fracture in the past would be useful to investigate the incidence of IR in this cohort… Read more about this study

About this study

We would like to investigate our hypothesis of a higher prevalence of nasal fracture in the history of idiopathic rhinitis (IR) patients compared to healthy controls. Therefore a retrospective analysis of 310 patients with a nasal fracture in the past would be useful to investigate the incidence of IR in this cohort afterwards (5-10 y later).

Read the detailed description

The patient population will be recruited by sending patient questionnaires (form in addendum) to patients who suffered a nasal fracture five to ten years ago (time period 2005-2013) with nose reposition afterwards under general anaesthesia in the chirurgical day care centre (CDC) of university hospital (UZ) Leuven.

The control population (HC) will be recruited by sending a slightly adapted questionnaire (form in addendum) to patients who had surgery of the vocal cords under general anaesthesia in the CDC of UZ Leuven in the same period as the patient group. The control group will be age and sex-matched with the patient group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of the incidence of IR after nasal fracture in the patient population with the incidence of IR in the control group.

    Comparison of the incidence of IR after nasal fracture in the patient population with the incidence of IR in the control group.

    outcome measurement: percentage of participants

    Measured: at least 1 year after surgery
