Abstract

Objective

To assess the differences between endoscopic and radiological methods of analysis for diagnosing chronic maxillary sinusitis (CMS) in archaeological skeletal remains.

Materials

32 crania from a Dutch post-medieval rural population.

Methods

We assessed the presence of bone changes indicative of CMS (i.e., bone growth and bone resorption) both endoscopically and through computed tomography (CT), and then compared results.

Results

We observed moderate agreement between bone growth scores obtained through endoscopy and CT, and fair agreement when assessing bone resorption.

Conclusions

CMS prevalence rates observed through CT may be comparable to rates assessed endoscopically, although caution is needed when making direct comparisons.

Significance

This is the first study comparing data obtained through endoscopy and radiological methods in the study of CMS, informing paleopathologists about potential biases in data comparison.

Limitations

Our small sample size likely impacted results.

Suggestions for further research

Further research is advised to fully explore the comparability of endoscopic and radiological method of analysis in the study of sinusitis.

Data Availability

The datasets generated and analyzed during the current study are available upon request.

慢性上颌窦炎：骨学诊断法与 CT 诊断法的比较

目的评估内窥镜和放射学分析方法在诊断考古骨骼遗骸中的慢性上颌窦炎（CMS）方面的差异、结果我们观察到内窥镜检查和计算机断层扫描（CT）获得的骨生长评分之间存在一定程度的一致性，而在评估骨吸收时，两者之间的一致性尚可。意义这是第一项比较通过内窥镜和放射学方法获得的 CMS 研究数据的研究，为古病理学家提供了数据比较中可能存在的偏差。

期刊介绍： Paleopathology is the study and application of methods and techniques for investigating diseases and related conditions from skeletal and soft tissue remains. The International Journal of Paleopathology (IJPP) will publish original and significant articles on human and animal (including hominids) disease, based upon the study of physical remains, including osseous, dental, and preserved soft tissues at a range of methodological levels, from direct observation to molecular, chemical, histological and radiographic analysis. Discussion of ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health, disease and life histories in the past is central to the discipline, so the journal would also encourage papers covering interpretive and theoretical issues, and those that place the study of disease at the centre of a bioarchaeological or biocultural approach. Papers dealing with historical evidence relating to disease in the past (rather than history of medicine) will also be published. The journal will also accept significant studies that applied previously developed techniques to new materials, setting the research in the context of current debates on past human and animal health.
