Association of nasal surgery with olfactory function among older adults

Prior nasal surgery was not associated with OD after controlling for covariates. While this study does provide unique insight into the relationship between nasal surgery and OD in nationally representative cohort of older adults, it was limited since the dataset utilized did not contain information on the specific surgery that participants underwent. Therefore, further research with more detailed information on the types of nasal surgeries and sinonasal conditions prior to surgery would further help elucidate the relationship between and nasal surgery and OD.
