When compared to sialolithiasis, chronic salivary obstruction from stenosis is associated with greater baseline SPIT scores, indicating poorer sialadenitis-related quality of life due to greater symptom frequency and functional impact. Based on SPIT survey outcomes, a score decrease of 13 points or SPIT score <10 represent significant symptom improvement.
