HERNANDEZ-PATINO, Iván; SUAREZ-EGOAVIL, Catherine; VERA-PONCE, Víctor y DE LA CRUZ-VARGAS, Jhony A. Clinical-radiographic concordance in patients undergoing septoplasty in a specialized clinic. Lima, Perú. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2023, vol.49, n.2, pp.201-206. Epub 25-Sep-2023. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922023000200014.
Background and objective.
In cases of rhinoplasty with septal deviation, the clinical diagnosis by the specialist is a core part of the conduct to be taken, whether clinical or surgical, because nasal obstruction, which is usually caused by this pathology, is one of the most frequent symptoms, this being the first indication of non-aesthetic nasal surgery
Objective.
To determine the concordance between clinical and radiographic diagnosis in patients undergoing septoplasty in a specialized clinic in Lima, Peru, during the period 2020 - 2021.
Methods.
Observational, quantitative, retrospective, analytical study of concordance. By non-probabilistic sampling by convenience, all patients with clinical diagnosis of septal deviation and radiographic studies who underwent septoplasty surgery in our clinic were considered. A total of 124 medical records were obtained that met the inclusion criteria. The percentage of concordance between these two metrics was calculated, and we estimated weighted and unweighted Cohen's kappa statistics across all samples and then by configuration.
Results.
With a mean age of 33 years, it was found that the majority were women (55.28%) without a predilection for the degree of significant deviation; the predominant clinical diagnosis was moderate degree (54.84%) and the radiological diagnosis was severe (49.19%). The main gnosology was congenital (38.8%), followed by acquired (34.7%), even so, there is no significant relationship between sex and the type of deviation found. An insignificant concordance was found between clinical and radiographic diagnosis in all its forms.
Conclusions.
In our study, there was no concordance between clinical and radiological diagnosis with respect to the degree or severity of septal deviation.
