Abstract

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has become a huge burden on healthcare systems of Saudi Arabia. It has been estimated that itsprevalence rate across the world is more than 20%.

Furthermore, the prevalence of rhinosinusitis was 57.4%. In order to assess severity of rhinosinusitis sino nasal test (SNOT-22) was done, the average score was found to be 33.5 ± 26.3 out of 110 in a range of 0-103. It was found that the prevalence of RS was significantly associated with several socio demographic variables such as: gender, age, marital status, occupational status, educational level and monthly income of participants.
