Application Value of Fraction of Exhaled Nitric Oxide Detection in Children with Adenoidal Hypertrophy
Objective To study the value of the detection of fraction of exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)in children with adenoid hypertrophy(AH).Methods Thirty children with AH admitted to Nanfeng County People's Hospital from January 2020 to October 2022 were selected as the observation group,and 30 healthy children in the same period were selected as the control group.FeNO test was performed.The results of FeNO test were compared between the two groups.At the same time,the FeNO test results of children with different degrees of hypertrophy and the scores of children's adenoid hypertrophy assessment form were observed,as well as the scores of children's adenoid hypertrophy assessment form with different FeNO levels.The correlation between FeNO level and the degree of adenoid hypertrophy and the scores of children's adenoid hypertrophy assessment table was analyzed.Results FeNO in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The level of FeNO and the score of children's adenoidal hypertrophy assessment table from high to low were in the order of tertiary hypertrophy>secondary hypertrophy>primary hypertrophy(P<0.05).The order of children's adenoidal hypertrophy disease evaluation scale score from high to low was high level group>medium level group>low level group(P<0.05).Spearman grade correlation analysis showed that the FeNO level was positively correlated with the degree of adenoidal hypertrophy and the score of children's adenoidal hypertrophy assessment form(P<0.05).Conclusion FeNO detection plays an important role in the diagnosis of AH,and its level is closely related to adenoid hypertrophy and severity of the disease.
