PurposeResearch on frontal sinus cells has been conflicting regarding relationship between frontal sinus cells and frontal sinus disease. There are no published studies regarding gender differences in frontal sinus disease. No comparisons between African Americans and Caucasians and frontal sinus disease have been published. This study attempts to define the above relationships as well as the relationship between number and types of cells and disease.MethodsA retrospective chart review was performed on sinus CT scans done from 2003 to 2011 at an academic medical center. Exclusion criteria included previous frontal sinus surgery, sinus malignancy, obvious trauma, congenital anomalies, and poor quality of scan. Number and type of frontal cells were recorded for 602 scans. Statistical analysis performed demographic comparisons and compared number and types of cells to evidence of disease.ResultsMales were more likely than females to have frontal sinus disease. Patients with Type 3 and Type 4 cells were more likely to have disease. No significant ethnic related differences in disease were found using a multivariate logistic regression model. Total number of cells did not significantly affect likelihood of disease.ConclusionsThis is one of the largest collections of data on frontal sinus cells as predictors of frontal sinus disease. These results suggest that gender and certain types of cells affect likelihood of disease. This study is the first to demonstrate a lack of difference in disease in African Americans and Caucasians. These results are significant regarding gender, race, number and type of cells as predictors of disease.
