Correlation between Brodsky Tonsil Scale and Tonsil Volume in Adult Patients.

Tonsil grading was significantly correlated with tonsil volume; preoperative tonsil grading that reflected the real tonsil volume was regarded as the protocol for the evaluation of the tonsil size. Age and BMI were independent factors that could affect the consistency between tonsil grade and tonsil volume. A mathematical model was estimated to predict the consistency accurately.
