[The influence of comorbid mental disorders on quality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis].

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn recent years, the international literature has contained numerous reports indicating a high prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Measurement of subjective health-related quality of life in CRS patients, also as an assessment of treatment outcome, has received increasing attention in the past two decades.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between results of screening tests for the two most frequent mental disorders in Germany and the results of the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-20 German Adapted Version (SNOT-20 GAV) in patients with CRS. PATIENTS AND
methods121 in- and outpatients with a confirmed diagnosis of CRS were examined with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the SNOT-20 GAV. Possible correlations were verified by statistical tests.
resultsOf 108 evaluated tests, 23.1% contained indications of moderate or severe depressive syndromes, clinically relevant anxiety disorders, and combined disorders. For the results of BDI-II, BAI, and the overall quality of life (ALQ) subscore of SNOT-20 GAV, significantly more mental comorbidities and a worse quality of life were observed in women and older patients. There was a high/moderate correlation between the total score of BDI-II/BAI and the ALQ subscore for the entire patient group. The correlation between total scores of BDI-II/BAI and the subscore of primary nasal symptoms (PNS) was very weak.
conclusionThe presented trial points out the considerable number of mental comorbidities in patients with affirmed CRS. Furthermore, the results of this examination demonstrate the significant influence of mental comorbidity on the quality of life of these patients.
