To the best of our knowledge, no study has examined the incidence of rhinosinusitis following midface fractures. We report the incidence of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients who underwent surgical repair of a midface fracture. Our evaluation tool was the 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test quality-of-life survey (SNOT-20). We mailed a demographic survey and the SNOT-20 questionnaire to 486 eligible patients who had undergone surgical repair of either a midface (n = 234) or mandible (n = 252) fracture; we had intended to use the latter cohort as a control group. Of the 234 midface patients, 34 (14.5%) returned a usable survey, but only 7 of the 252 mandibular patients (2.8%) did so, which was not a sufficient number for analysis; therefore we used normative data obtained from another study for comparison purposes. The mean SNOT-20 score in our cohort was 24.15, which was similar to the 28.7 mean score in the control cohort of patients with rhinosinusitis. The highest mean scores for the individual components of the SNOT-20 were for \u201cWake up at night,\u201d \u201cLack of a good night's sleep,\u201d \u201cWake up tired,\u201d and \u201cFrustrated\/restless\/irritable.\u201d The components that the most patients found bothersome were \u201cFacial pain\/pressure,\u201d \u201cNeed to blow nose,\u201d \u201cRunny nose,\u201d and \u201cLack of a good night's sleep.\u201d We conclude that patients who experience a midface fracture have a much higher risk of developing chronic rhinosinusitis that negatively affects their long-term quality of life. These patients should be monitored with long-term follow-up and treated appropriately.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/014556131409300906","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,9]],"date-time":"2019-01-09T15:09:40Z","timestamp":1547046580000},"page":"E26-E28","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Patients Requiring Surgical Repair of a Midface Fracture"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Joshua C.","family":"Yelverton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University Health System, Richmond, Va."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Jackson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Yale-New Haven Hospital, New Haven, Conn. and St. Joseph Central Texas ENT, College Station, Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert S.","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Yale-New Haven Hospital, New Haven, Conn. and St. Joseph Central Texas ENT, College Station, Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-014556131409300906","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.20583"},{"key":"bibr2-014556131409300906","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2004.06.005"},{"key":"bibr3-014556131409300906","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mhn.2002.121022"},{"key":"bibr4-014556131409300906","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajr.2007.21.3052"},{"key":"bibr5-014556131409300906","first-page":"1583","volume-title":"Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide","author":"Hasan N","year":"2004"},{"key":"bibr6-014556131409300906","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2003.12.034"},{"key":"bibr7-014556131409300906","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1993.01880150064009"}],"container-title":["Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/014556131409300906","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/014556131409300906","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T18:35:05Z","timestamp":1777401305000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/014556131409300906"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,9]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/014556131409300906"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/014556131409300906","relation":{},"ISSN":["0145-5613","1942-7522"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0145-5613","type":"print"},{"value":"1942-7522","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,9]]}}}
