VAS score of olfactory function before and after surgery were collected,and the data at baseline,3 months,6 months,1 year,3 years,5 years,8 years and 10 years after surgery were compared. Factors affecting olfactory function were analyzed in a generalized mixed linear model,which including age,surgical procedure,allergic rhinitis and so on.Results: The olfactory VAS scores were significantly lower at 3 months,6 months,1 year,3 years,and 5 years postoperatively compared with baseline,and the difference was statistically significant(
