Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University480 enrolled

Overview

Patients with otolaryngological diseases caused by upper respiratory tract infections, including allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, secretory otitis media, and oblate gland hypertrophy, were treated with all drugs from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, and Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to December 2022. According to the treatment methods, the patients were divided into panfosol + conventional treatment group and conventional treatment group for multicenter retrospective analysis.

FIrstly, Data of all patients were collected before and after treatment, including nasal endoscopy Lund Kennedy score, VAS scale for nasal/facial/olfactory symptoms, and ear/nose/snoring VAS scale, etc. According to the change values before and after treatment, the treatment results were divided into cure (complete control of the disease), effective (partial control of the disease), ineffective (uncontrolled disease). secondly, All participants were reviewed for gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting), skin reactions (rash, urticaria), respiratory discomfort (cough, dyspnea, asthma), and common problems (fever, fatigue, allergic reactions) after medication.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Therapeutic effective rate

Treatment outcomes were classified as cure, effective, ineffective and relapse according to the condition after treatment. A cure means that the disease is under complete control, meaning that the patient's symptoms disappear completely and no medication is needed to continue treatment. Effective represents partial control of the disease, in which the patient's symptoms improve significantly but still require medication. Ineffective means the disease is not controlled or the symptoms are aggravated. Effective patients have symptoms aggravated, and the recurrence of symptoms after cure is defined as relapse.

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months.

Secondary Outcomes

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events

All participants were reviewed for gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting), skin reactions (rash, urticaria), respiratory discomfort (cough, dyspnea, asthma), and common problems (fever, fatigue, allergic reactions) after medication. Count the number of patients with these adverse symtoms.

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months

Types, occurence rate and duration of the treatment-related adverse events

All participants were reviewed for gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting), skin reactions (rash, urticaria), respiratory discomfort (cough, dyspnea, asthma), and common problems (fever, fatigue, allergic reactions) after medication. The presentation and duration of adverse symptoms in patients were counted.
