ABSTRACT
The criteria for «odontogenic sinusitis» (OS) with the highest values of specificity and sensitivity were identified. An integral odontogenicity sinusitis index (OSI) was developed based on the identified criteria. To measure the sensitivity and specificity of the criteria, a group of 261 patients was selected (113 women (43.29%), 148 men (56.70%), the average age of the patients was 36 years), consisting of 150 known to have OS and 111 patients who were known to be without OS. As a result of data analysis, the values of sensitivity and specificity were obtained for all 13 criteria. Based on the sensitivity and specificity values, all criteria were combined into an odontogenicity sinusitis index (OSI) and divided into «minor» and «major». The “large” criteria were assigned a significance point of 2, and for the “small” criteria, a significance point of 1. The determination of the odontogenic nature of sinusitis was carried out by a simple summation of the points assigned to patients during the survey, examination, and analysis of CT criteria. An odontogenic cause of sinusitis is recognized if there is a minimum of 4 points of significance, for example, one “large” (2 points) and two “small” (1 point each) criteria. The general sensitivity of the integral OSI index was 93%, the general specificity was 94%. These rates are high enough that OSI can be used to determine the «odontogenic» nature of sinusitis.
