Disease on CT is defined as a non-zero score on Lund-Mackay score
1
Operated sinus data was extracted from current procedural terminology codes recorded at the time of surgery. Surgery involved the frontal sinus if CPT 31276 was coded, anterior and posterior ethmoid sinuses for CPT 31255 (total ethmoidectomy), anterior ethmoid sinus for CPT 31254 (partial ethmoidectomy), maxillary sinus for CPT 31256 and CPT 31267, and sphenoid sinus for CPTs 31287 and 31288. Draf III were counted as a bilateral frontal sinus intervention
2
Either unilateral or bilateral surgery
3
Frontal sinus surgery included Draf IIa, Draf IIb and Draf III surgeries
