    (Springer International Publishing, 2021) Susaman, Nihat; Muluk, Nuray Bayar; Sallavaci, Suela
    Upper respiratory tract infection (URI) represents the most common acute illness evaluated in the outpatient setting. URIs range from the common cold—typically a mild, self-limited, catarrhal syndrome of the nasopharynx—to life-threatening illnesses such as epiglottitis (1). © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

    How do different climatic conditions affect the quality of life of patients following septoplasty or septorhinoplasty?
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Kar, Murat; Muluk, Nuray Bayar; Susaman, Nihat; cetiner, Hasan; Cingi, Cemal
    Objectives: The effects of different climatic conditions on the quality of life (QoL) of patients following septoplasty or septorhinoplasty were investigated.Methods: A total of 89 patients (47 males and 42 females) underwent either septoplasty or septorhinoplasty during the summer (summer group, n = 42) or winter (winter group, n = 47) season. To assess QoL, SinoNasal Outcome Test (SNOT)-22, Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evalua-tion (NOSE) scale, and Visual Analogue Scale were used. Postoperative (PO) pain, bleeding, and symptoms related to nasal packing (eating and sleep problems) were also evaluated.Results: PO pain scores were lower in the winter group than that in the summer group ( p < 0.05). After pack removal, there was a slight serohemorrhagic nasal discharge in 2.1% of the pa-tients in the winter group, but no patient required intervention. Slight leakage was detected in 47.6% of the patients and 2.4% of the patients called for intervention ( p < 0.05) in the sum-mer group. The SNOT-22 values did not differ between the groups ( p > 0.05). NOSE scores in the winter group were higher than that in the summer group ( p < 0.05). In each group, SNOT-22 (padjusted< 0.175) and NOSE scores ( p < 0.05) were lower at 1 month after surgery. The winter group patients rated headache, facial pain, and nasal crusting higher than those in the sum-mer group did ( p < 0.05). However, nasal discharge and loss of smell were less troubling in the summer group than that in the winter group ( p < 0.05).Conclusion: Regardless of climate or season, septoplasty or septorhinoplasty increases pa-tients' QoL. However, problematic PO bleeding was detected at a higher frequency in patients who underwent surgery in summer. The advantage of surgery in winter is that it leads to less frequent problematic bleeding PO.(c) 2022 British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons.

    The Score for Allergic Rhinitis study in Turkey, 2020
    (Dergipark Akad, 2021) Cingi, Cemal; Muluk, Nuray Bayar; Susaman, Nihat; Kucukcan, Nagehan; Kar, Murat; Altintas, Mustafa; Altin, Fazilet
    Objective: This study aimed to determine how prevalent allergic rhinitis (AR) is in Turkey and to compare the current prevalence with the figures obtained 10 years earlier. Methods: This study included 9,017 participants. The minimum number of participants required from each center was determined via a stratified sampling technique according to regional demographic characteristics as ascertained from the last census. For each region, both men and women were administered the score for allergic rhinitis (SFAR) questionnaire and a score for each participant was calculated based on the responses supplied. Results: A total of 9,017 individuals (55.3% men and 44.7% women) took part in this study. Of these, 94.4% were urban residents and 5.6% lived in a rural setting. Of the men, 38.5% self-reported as suffering from AR. The corresponding figure in women was 40.5%. The overall prevalence of AR, as deduced on the basis of the SFAR, was found to be 36.7%. Comparing the prevalence in different regions, we found that AR was the least prevalent in the Black Sea region with a frequency of 35.8%. The highest prevalence was in the Mediterranean region, where the prevalence was 37.7%. There was no statistical significance in the apparent differences in prevalence between different geographical regions. Despite this, however, there was a clear increase in the frequency of AR over the preceding decade. This increase was most pronounced in the South-Eastern Anatolian region, where the frequency rose from 21.0% to 36.9%. Conclusion: Our results indicate that there has been a marked increase in the prevalence of AR in every region in Turkey over the last 10 years. This could be related to living conditions in urban environments. Alterations in lifestyle, urban living, air pollution causing impairments in immune defense mechanisms, and other aspects of modern lifestyles may account for the increase in AR in Turkey.
