Twenty-nine patients with bilateral nasal polyps were included in our study using strict selection criteria to reduce other aetiologies of olfactory dysfunction. The University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) was performed pre-operatively on the right and left nostrils separately. Following intranasal polypectomy the patients received a six-week course of beclomethasone nasal spray (Beconase) to one nostril only, with the other acting as a control. The UPSIT scores were again obtained for each nostril separately. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test revealed no statistically significant difference in UPSIT scores between treated and untreated nostrils (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.31; power 70 per cent; ES = 0.47). We conclude that topical beclomethasone does not improve olfaction following nasal polypectomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s002221510013172x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,30]],"date-time":"2007-11-30T10:15:00Z","timestamp":1196417700000},"page":"941-944","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Effect of Beconase nasal spray on olfactory function in post-nasal polypectomy patients: a prospective controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"109","author":[{"given":"Mohammed El","family":"Naggar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Savita","family":"Kale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chris","family":"Aldren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref018","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0091-6749(77)90155-5"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref016","first-page":"735","article-title":"Topical corticosteroids can alleviate olfactory dysfunction (abstract)","volume":"13","author":"Scott","year":"1988","journal-title":"Chemical Senses"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref015","first-page":"82","article-title":"Long-term treatment of nasal polyps with Beclomethasone dipropionate aerosol","volume":"82","author":"Pederson","year":"1976","journal-title":"Ada Otolaryngologica"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref011","first-page":"270","article-title":"Long-term follow-up of intranasal beclomethasone treatment","volume":"386","author":"Holopainen","year":"1982","journal-title":"a clinical and histologic study"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref008","first-page":"24","article-title":"The loss of smell in nasal allergy","volume":"24","author":"Fein","year":"1966","journal-title":"Annals of Allergy"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198402000-00004"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref002","first-page":"4","article-title":"Beclomethasone dipropionate aerosol in treatment of perennial and seasonal rhinitis: a review of five years' experience","volume":"4","author":"Brown","year":"1977","journal-title":"British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref014","first-page":"40","article-title":"Beclomethasone dipropionate in paediatric perennial extrinsic rhinitis","volume":"40","author":"Neuman","year":"1978","journal-title":"Annals of Allergy"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref012","first-page":"24","article-title":"Influence of prednisolone on nasal polyposis with anosmia","volume":"24","author":"Hotchkiss","year":"1956","journal-title":"Annals of Allergy"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.55.2.138"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref020","volume-title":"Olfactory disorders: Olfactometry and therapy","author":"Toyota","year":"1978"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref003","first-page":"68","article-title":"Testing olfaction in a clinical setting","volume":"68","author":"Cain","year":"1989","journal-title":"Ear, Nose and Throat Journal"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref019","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100076660"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref013","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1987.01860050093023"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-6665(20)31447-X","article-title":"Influence of nasal obstruction on smell function","volume":"22","author":"Doty","year":"1989","journal-title":"Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref017","first-page":"68","article-title":"Medical management of taste and smell disorders","volume":"68","author":"Scott","year":"1989","journal-title":"Ear, Nose and Throat Journal"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref009","first-page":"514","volume-title":"Clinical Measurement of Taste and Smell","author":"Goodspeed","year":"1986"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref001","first-page":"180","volume-title":"Statistical Methods in Medical Research","author":"Armitage","year":"1987"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2222.1974.tb01387.x"},{"key":"S002221510013172X_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0031-9384(84)90269-5"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Laryngology &amp;
