Table 4. Adjusted Difference in Nasal Change Scores Relative to No Rhinitisa.
Adjusted difference | Rhinitis, mean (95% CI) score | ||
---|---|---|---|
Allergic | Nonallergic | No rhinitis | |
NOSE | 14 (1 to 28) | 7 (−4 to 18) | 0 [Reference] |
VAS | 15 (0 to 30) | 15 (3 to 28) | 0 [Reference] |
Abbreviations: NOSE, Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation; VAS, visual analog scale.
Adjusted for age, sex, baseline nasal medications, oral antihistamine use, and baseline nasal congestion score (baseline NOSE score in NOSE change model and baseline nasal congestion VAS score in VAS change model). Data presented as adjusted difference in mean change (95% CI) using multivariate linear regression. Positive differences in mean change scores represent worse (or less improved) nasal congestion relative to the no rhinitis subgroup.
