Abstrakt: Purpose: To verify the association between orofacial myofunctional changes and nasal patency.
Method: Observational study of 43 children and adolescents with asthma and/or rhinitis, aged between 5 and 14 years, from May 2017 to September 2019. Patients underwent peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) for nasal patency assessment and orofacial myofunctional assessment. Clinical data were obtained from an interview on the day of the patients' medical evaluation. The relationship between orofacial myofunctional changes and PNIF was analyzed using a logistic regression model. Estimates were reported as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI). We evaluated multicollinearity using the variance inflation factor and analyzed the adjusted fit with the Akaike information criterion and McFadden's R 2 metric; p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Inadequate positioning of the mandible (OR = 11.22; 95%CI 1.83-69; p = 0.009) and the presence of tension in the facial muscles during the swallowing of liquid (OR = 4.61; 95%CI 1.31-16.20; p = 0.017) were associated with altered PNIF in children and adolescents with asthma and rhinitis.
Conclusion: Children and adolescents with asthma and rhinitis along with reduced nasal patency presented orofacial myofunctional changes, such as inadequate positioning of the jaw and the presence of tension in the facial muscles during swallowing of liquid.
