Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine normal values for the FACE-Q rhinoplasty module. A prospective monocentric observational cohort study. We tested FACE-Q Satisfaction with Nose and Satisfaction with Nostrils in two groups of patients, seeking or not a rhinoplasty. One hundred and four patients were included in the study, fifty-two in each group. Primary outcome was to identify possible cutting scores to establish normal values for each of the FQRM questionnaires. Regarding the Satisfaction with Nose scale, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<.001). Area under the ROC curve was 0.964 (95% CI=0.931-0.997). Forty-seven points was the value presenting the best Youden index (sensitivity=96.2%, specificity=86.5%). Regarding the Satisfaction with Nostrils scale, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<.001). Area under the ROC curve was 0.820 (95% CI=0.741-0.899). Sixty-four points was the value presenting the best Youden index (sensitivity=94.2%, specificity=53.8%). This is the first study to generate normative data for the FACE-Q rhinoplasty module. The findings presented here have important implications for future clinical care and research. The definition of a normal score can help practitioners to better analyse their patients and to support a therapeutic indication.
