Spearman’s correlation coefficients of mRNA expression levels of Wnt-associated molecules in sinonasal tissues with clinical parameters of chronic rhinosinusitis patients

The level of mRNA expression	LM score	LK score, preoperative	LK score, postoperative	SNOT-22, preoperative
WNT1				0.4768*
WNT2B		0.4639†
WNT5B	0.4933†
WNT10B	0.3987*
FZD2		0.4256*
FZD3		0.5233*
β-catenin			−0.4086*

Data are expressed as Spearman’s r. All correlation coefficients significant at p<0.05.
*Correlation in the CRSwNP tissues (n=44).
†Correlation in the CRSsNP tissues (n=23).
CRSsNP, chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyp; CRSwNP, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp; LK score, Lund-Kennedy score; LM score, Lund-Mackay score; SNOT-22, the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test.
