What is a Lund-Mackay score interpretation?

Lund-Mackay CT staging involves scoring 6 bilateral areas of sinus opacification from 0 to 2, for a possible range of scores between 0 and 24. A higher LMCTS indicates more opacity in the 6 measured areas of the sinus, as observed on CT imaging.

What is modified Lund-Mackay score?

Conclusion: The modified Lund-Mackay score provides a high specificity while the Lund-Mackay score a high sensitivity for CF patients who required sinus surgery. The combination of both radiologic scoring systems can potentially predict the need for surgery in this population.

What is Lund Kennedy score?

How is your snot score calculated?

The percentage of relative improvement for each preoperative SNOT-22 group was also calculated using the formula: [(mean postoperative score) − (mean preoperative score) / mean preoperative score] × 1007.
