Comparisons in the frequency of normal and abnormal olfactory scores between case subjects with CRS and control subjects without CRS.

TDI total score classification: Control Subjects (n=164) Case Subjects with CRSsNP (n=105) χ2 p-value vs control Case Subjects with CRSwNP (n=119) χ2 p-value vs control
Normosmia 81 (49%) 43 (41%) 1.83 0.176 17 (14%) <0.001
Hyposmia 73 (45%) 54 (51%) 1.23 0.268 36 (30%) 0.015

CRSsNP, chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis; CRSwNP, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis; SE, standard error of the mean; CI, confidence interval of the mean difference, SD, standard deviation; t, independent samples t-test statistic; χ2, chi-square test statistic; reported p-values correspond to two-sided significance. T, olfactory threshold; D, olfactory discrimination; I, olfactory identification.
