OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explore the safety and feasibility of stellate ganglion blocks (SGBs) to treat persistent COVID-19-induced olfactory dysfunction (OD). Secondarily, the goal was to determine effect sizes to plan a future randomized clinical trial. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective case series. SETTING: Quaternary Care Academic Medical Center. METHODS: In this single-arm pilot trial, adult participants with a COVID-19 diagnosis ≥ 12 months prior to enrollment with OD underwent bilateral SGBs...

OBJECTIVE: Postoperative pain is the most common morbidity associated with tonsillectomy. Opioids are frequently used in multimodal posttonsillectomy analgesia regimens; however, concerns regarding respiratory depression, drug-drug interactions, and medication misuse necessitate responsible opioid stewardship among prescribing surgeons. It is unclear if intentionally reducing opioid prescription doses negatively affects the patient experience. METHODS: A quality improvement team reviewed all posttonsillectomy opioid prescriptions at a pediatric ambulatory surgery center between January and June 2021 (preintervention, 163 patients)...

OBJECTIVE: Examine the association between sociodemographic factors and Individualized Education Program (IEP) establishment. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. METHODS: Participants included deaf or hard-of-hearing children who were eligible for an IEP with "deafness" or "hard of hearing" as a primary or secondary disability. Primary outcome measures were time intervals between initial referral for services and parental consent; parental consent to determination of eligibility; and initial referral to eligibility (the sum of the previous 2 intervals)...

OBJECTIVE: Timely treatment initiation in head and neck cancer (HNC) care is of great importance regarding survival, oncological, functional, and psychological outcomes. Therefore, waiting times are assessed in the Dutch Head and Neck Audit (DHNA). This audit aims to assess and improve the quality of care through feedback and benchmarking. For this study, we examined how waiting times evolved since the start of the DHNA. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: National multicentre study...

With the widespread adoption of intranasal radiofrequency (RF) devices, our objective was to report national adverse events (AEs) associated with their use. The Food and Drug Administration's Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience was queried. A total of 24 device-related AEs were reported, 11 (45.8%) for Celon® (Olympus), 3 (12.5%) for Vivaer® (Aerin), 2 (8.3%) for Neuromark® (Neurent), and 8 (33.3%) for Rhinaer® (Aerin). Seven (63.6%) of the Celon®-related complications were related to tissue necrosis (largely user error-related), but 1 (9...

OBJECTIVE: Frailty metrics estimate a patient's ability to tolerate physiologic stress and there are limited frailty data in patients undergoing expanded endonasal approaches (EEA) for suprasellar pathologies. Elevated frailty metrics have been associated with increased perioperative complications in patients undergoing craniotomies. We sought to examine this potential relationship in EEA. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Two tertiary academic skull base centers...

OBJECTIVE: Initiating postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) within 6 weeks (42 days) of surgery is the first and only Commission on Cancer (CoC) approved quality metric for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). No study has systematically reviewed nor synthesized the literature to establish national benchmarks for delays in starting PORT. DATA SOURCES: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines, we performed a systematic review of PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL...

OBJECTIVE: There is a link between laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and the formation of benign vocal fold lesions (BVFLs). However, previous studies have mainly focused on LPR suggested by symptoms and signs, rather than objectively diagnosed LPR via pharyngeal pH monitoring. We, therefore, conducted a Meta-analysis to evaluate the association between pharyngeal pH monitoring diagnosed LPR and the odds of BVFLs. DATA SOURCES: Relevant observational studies were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science...

Sexual health is an often neglected topic in otolaryngology. Ironically, most sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) demonstrate head and neck manifestations. Furthermore, many aspects of human sexuality, both pathologic and nonpathologic, are also integral to the head and neck. The human papillomavirus (HPV) serves as a prime example of the otolaryngologist's increasingly important role. In recent decades, HPV-mediated head and neck cancer has surpassed HPV-mediated cancer in other parts of the body. This dramatic rise has led to not only a change in the staging system, but also a fundamental shift in the treatment paradigm...

ChatGPT is a new artificial intelligence-powered language model of chatbot able to help otolaryngologists in clinical practice and research. We investigated the ability of ChatGPT-4 in the editing of a manuscript in otolaryngology. Four papers were written by a nonnative English otolaryngologist and edited by a professional editing service. ChatGPT-4 was used to detect and correct errors in manuscripts. From the 171 errors in the manuscripts, ChatGPT-4 detected 86 errors (50.3%) including vocabulary (N = 36), determiner (N = 27), preposition (N = 24), capitalization (N = 20), and number (N = 11)...

OBJECTIVE: To review and assess the peer-reviewed literature on the utility of mind-body therapy (MBT) as an adjunct treatment in the management of otolaryngologic disease. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane. REVIEW METHODS: Randomized control trials (RCTs) of MBTs in the management of otolaryngologic disease from 2002 to 2022 were identified and included according to predefined criteria. Interventions requiring expensive equipment were excluded because the goal of MBT is to be cost-conscious...

OBJECTIVE: Establishing timely language intervention for children who are deaf or hard of hearing is crucial for their cognitive and language development. Newborn hearing screening (NBHS) programs are now commonplace, but disparities in receipt of support may exist. This study seeks to investigate if states with more diverse populations, less educated mothers, fewer resources, and no legislative mandate of screening have lower rates of milestone completion. STUDY DESIGN: This is a cross-sectional study...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Neha Garg, Elizabeth J Silber, Jessica R Levi
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by repeated episodes of prolonged airway obstruction during sleep, is a common condition in pediatric patients ages 2 to 6. Polysomnography (PSG) testing can be used to assess the severity of OSA or obstructive sleep-disordered breathing prior to adenotonsillectomy. The article "Characteristics and Frequency of Children With Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Undergoing Elective Polysomnography" by Bains et al. notes the variability in guidelines regarding indication for PSG amongst professional societies, making it difficult for physicians to determine which patients require PSG...
