All patients completed the NOSE Scale score, and additional data were collected, including the primary reason for the visit. Demographic and patient characteristics were summarized using frequencies and percentages for categorical variables.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The overall mean NOSE Scale score for the 3533 patients surveyed was 37.6 (SD 31.5). A total of 37.4% (1320\/3533) of surveyed patients, regardless of visit reason, had severe\/extreme NAO symptoms. Overall, the most common visit reason category was \u201cOther\u201d (61.2%, 2162\/3533), followed by \u201cNAO\u201d (22.6%, 798\/3533) and \u201cSinus\u201d (16.2%, 573\/3533). The mean NOSE scores for patients in each of the visit categories were 23.4 (SD 25.9), 64.7 (SD 23.3), and 53.3 (SD 28.1); for \u201cOther,\u201d \u201cNAO,\u201d and \u201cSinus,\u201d respectively. Among the patients coming in with \u201cNAO\u201d or \u201cSinus\u201d as a primary complaint, 76.2% (608\/798) and 57.2.% (328\/573) had severe or extreme NOSE scores. A total of 17.8% (384\/2162) of patients coming in for \u201cOther\u201d reasons had NOSE scores indicating moderate to severe\/extreme NAO symptoms.\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The findings of this large, descriptive otolaryngology practice survey found a high prevalence of moderate to severe\/extreme NAO among patients presenting to otolaryngology practices. Incorporating assessments, such as the NOSE Scale score and other diagnostic practices into the patient intake workflow and assessments, could help identify symptomatic NAO patients that might otherwise be overlooked.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01455613231196670","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,14]],"date-time":"2023-09-14T10:45:17Z","timestamp":1694688317000},"page":"348-353","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Prevalence and Identification of Nasal Airway Obstruction in Patients Presenting to Otolaryngology Clinics: Results From a Large Descriptive Practice Survey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Roheen","family":"Raithatha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT and Allergy Associates, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Del Signore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2018.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200307000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2009.01.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014556131809700615"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0000000000005554"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-018-5142-x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.23156"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjoto.2019.03.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599815620558"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2003.09.016"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599812456956"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","unstructured":"American Academy of Otolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery.
