z BMI: z-score body mass index; z Height: z-score height; PNIF: peak nasal inspiratory flow; FVC: forced vital capacity of the lungs; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in the first second; SNOT-22: Sinonasal Outcome Test-22; IgE: immunoglobulin E. The data is presented in the form of Me [Q1; Q3], where Me is the median, [Q1; Q3] is 1st and 3rd quartiles in the case of an abnormal distribution of quantities, and in the form of M ± σ, where M is the mean value, σ is the standard deviation in the case of their normal distribution
