Symptoms of ETD are common in patients treated in a rhinology clinic, with 43.3% of patients reporting symptom scores consistent with a formal diagnosis of ETD. Increased SNOT-22 scores are correlated with increased ETDQ-7 scores, even when only the SNOT-22 rhinologic subdomain is considered. Patients presenting for treatment of rhinologic symptoms likely have an increased prevalence of otologic symptoms and ETD.
