Previous studies have proposed various endoscopic scoring systems to assess disease severity of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, those assessments have not been validated. This study was designed to assess the Modified Lund - Kennedy (MLK) and the discharge, inflammation, and polyps/oedema (DIP) endoscopic scoring systems in patients with CRS.
