Abstract
The objective of the study was to determine the types of complications associated with sinusitis in a referral hospital and the outcome of treatment for each type of complication. Those with sinusitis admitted to a referral hospital were the subject of a retrospective study. Complications related to sinusitis were reviewed in the data. A total of 177 patients, of whom 100 were male, were included in the study. Thirty-eight of the patients were under 15 years old, and 27 of them had more than one type of complication. Children were more likely to develop orbital complications than adults (38% compared to 100%). Children as well as 90 adults recovered from the treatment, 16 adults died, and 18 adults had morbidity and were cured with morbidity. Complications were associated with poorer outcomes for patients. There was only one complication statistically significant for mortality when the types of complications were compared. Complications have a significant impact on the outcomes of treatment, with intracranial complications having the poorest results
