Abstract

To assess patient-related risk factors associated with poor outcomes following stapedotomy for otosclerosis.Retrospective study.Academic tertiary care center.Retrospective chart review of 107 patients with otosclerosis who underwent stapedotomy between 2013 and 2020. Demographics, comorbidities, and smoking history were obtained. Preoperative and postoperative audiogram data, including air-bone gap (ABG), and complications were collected. Data were analyzed using t test and Fischer's exact test for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.Among 107 patients, 29.5% were smokers and 70.1% non-smokers. Overall, the average ABG-gain 3-months postoperatively was 20.2 dB, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were 3.74 and 13.1%, respectively. Those with a history of otologic procedures had a lower mean ABG gain at 3 months compared with those without previous otologic surgery (14.4 dB versus 20.4 dB, p = 0.018). The average ABG gain at 3-months was not significantly different between those with current, former, or no smoking history, respectively (13.5 versus 18.1 versus 20.6, p = 0.08). Current smokers had 4.5 times greater odds of complications compared with non-smokers, although not statistically significant (95% CI 0.9-22.8, p = 0.1912).Age and history of otologic procedures as independent risk factors did impact hearing outcomes among our patient cohort; however, smoking history did not. Future prospective studies are required to further investigate complication rates by various modifiable risk factors, such as smoking status, body mass index (BMI), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) use, for stapedotomy surgeries.

Abstract

Traditional teaching has advocated for morphine in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, recent data has called this into question. Previous data, though, has been riddled with bias. We sought to compare exposure to morphine versus other opioids and its effect on mortality and adverse outcomes in patients with ACS. We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who presents to our emergency department for ACS and received a cardiac stent. Exposure of interest was receipt of narcotics and type, route, and dose of narcotics received prior to cardiac catheterization. Primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcome was a composite of in-hospital heart failure, hypotension, or dysrhythmia. We included 118 visits from 64 unique patients, of which 19 received morphine, 5 received fentanyl, 7 received oral opioids, and 88 received no opioids. There was no difference in mortality or adverse outcomes between patients receiving IV morphine (4.2%) or IV fentanyl (0%) but there was an increased mortality in patients receiving oral opioids (28.6%) compared to no opioids (4.5%) and an increase adverse outcome in patients receiving IV morphine (68.4%) versus no opioids (36.4%). Our limited-size study demonstrated that receipt of IV morphine is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes compared to not receiving opioids; however, there is no significant difference in adverse outcomes comparing morphine to other opioids. Our data adds evidence to the theory that prior reports of morphine-associated adverse outcomes are likely biased and not necessarily related to intrinsic properties of morphine.

7. Ethnic variation in the onset age of menopause and its consequences on women’s health

Author

Sarah Benyo, Michelle Brown, and Rama Singh

Abstract

Background: Reproduction is a major determinant of health in women. To investigate whether female reproductive physiology is still evolving in different ethnic populations, the relationship between ethnicity and onset age of menopause was examined. The relationship between menopause and women’s health was additionally investigated to reflect on the increased risk of serious health conditions following the hormonal fluctuations associated with menopause. Methods: All data used to complete the study’s statistical analyses were obtained from the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN). Women from five ethnicities were included: African American, Chinese, Japanese, Caucasian, and Hispanic. The onset ages of early perimenopause, late perimenopause, and post-menopause were considered, as well as race and diagnoses of stroke, heart attack, osteoporosis, and diabetes. Both ANOVA and Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) tests were performed. Results: We found that the population of Chinese women reached late perimenopause and the population of Japanese women reached both late perimenopause and post-menopause significantly later than African American women. The cohort of Hispanic women reached late perimenopause significantly earlier than most ethnicities, excluding African American women, and reached post-menopause significantly later than all ethnicities. Various associations between the onset of menopause and diagnoses of serious health conditions, including osteoporosis, heart attack, and stroke, were found, individually and in combination with other variables. Conclusions: The ethnicity-related variation found within the onset age of late perimenopause and post-menopause in the SWAN populations suggests that female reproductive changes are still evolving in different ethnicities. The associations found between menopause and women’s health suggest that menopause plays a substantial role in the diagnosis of serious health conditions such as heart attacks, stroke, and osteoporosis. Future studies should consider the impact of both biological (menopause) and non-biological factors on the variation seen in middle-aged women’s health and focus on practical applications in women’s healthcare.

Abstract

Study Design: Systematic review of the literature. Objective: The goal of this study is to review the current literature on severe rhinophyma requiring operative management for significant cosmetic deformity or nasal obstruction. We aim to provide a treatment algorithm for the various surgical techniques employed in the treatment of severe rhinophyma. Methods: Independent searches of the PubMed and MEDLINE databases were performed. Articles from the period of 2010 to 2020 were collected. All studies which described surgical treatment of severe rhinophyma using the Boolean method and relevant search term combinations, including “rhinophyma,” “severe,” “operative” and “surgery” were collected. Results: A total of 111 relevant unique articles met criteria for eligibility analysis. Of these, 85 articles were deemed inappropriate for the literature review due to exclusion criteria. The remaining 26 articles were included in the literature review. Due to variability in study design and outcome measures, formal synthesis of data in the form of a meta-analysis was not possible. Conclusions: Severe rhinophyma may present a reconstructive challenge to reestablish normal contour and patent nasal airway. Significant deformity necessitates surgical correction. The present article reviews the current literature and provides a summary and stepwise explanation of established surgical techniques for addressing the cosmetic and functional deficits these patients encounter.

Abstract

Objective: This review provides a summary of the current understanding of the health and well-being of the head and neck cancer (HNC) caregiver. Our goal is to understand the healthcare needs required by the caregivers of our oncologic patients, which may ultimately influence quality of care and support that cancer patients require during treatment and recovery. Methods: Independent database searches were conducted to identify articles describing HNC caregiver health and healthcare utilization. Search terms included key synonyms for head and neck cancer, caregiver, psychological stress, anxiety, depression, mental health service, and delivery of healthcare in the title/abstract. Results: After following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Protocol, a total of 21 studies were included. Among the 21 studies in the review, a total of 1745 caregivers were included. The average age was 57 years, the majority were female (58%-100%), and spouses/partners of the patients (77%). The literature demonstrates significant anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and physical health decline in addition to multifaceted unmet physical and mental health needs among HNC caregivers. Conclusion: There is no standard for examining HNC caregiver healthcare needs, while there is evidence of increased healthcare utilization. The literature is limited regarding medical burdens faced by caregivers. Future research is needed to assess the physical health and comorbidities of HNC caregivers and their engagement with the healthcare system to guide further implementation of support models to address the needs of this population.

Abstract

Cochlear implant (CI) migration due to head trauma is a rare complication, and there is limited data summarizing this topic. This review seeks to provide a more comprehensive understanding of risk factors, clinical presentations, diagnosis, and intervention strategies for traumatic CI displacement.The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Protocol was followed using the PubMed and MED-LINE databases from 2000 to 2021, with manual cross-checks of reference lists of identified articles for additional relevant studies. The keywords used for database searches included "cochlear implant", "migration", "displacement", "extrusion" and "head trauma". All full-text articles available in English were screened, including single case presentations. Abstracts, commentaries, and publications deemed outside the scope of our study aims were excluded from review.After the removal of duplicate articles, a total of 152 articles were screened. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 articles were included in the review. Due to heterogeneity of the available literature, a qualitative synthesis was employed to integrate results by identifying common themes among the relevant studies.The incidence of traumatic CI migration is extremely low and can be due to receiver-stimulator displacement, magnet displacement, or electrode extrusion. Migration occurred anywhere from 3 months to 26 years after implantation, suggesting that risk of migration from head trauma does not depend solely on time from implantation. There are several methods for repairing migrated CI, but there is limited data comparing operative techniques, specifically in the prevention of traumatic CI migration.

Abstract

Advances in operative management, minimally invasive procedures, and physical therapy have allowed for dramatic improvements in functional and cosmetic outcomes in patients with facial paralysis. Our goal was to evaluate the current trends and practice patterns in the diagnosis and management of facial paralysis by provider demographics.An electronic questionnaire was distributed to members of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). Practice patterns in the diagnosis and treatment were compared by level of training (fellowship-trained facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon versus non-fellowship trained), practice type (academic and private), practice length, patient volume, and presence of a dedicated facial nerve clinic. The bivariate associations of the outcome variables and the stratification factors were analyzed using 2-way contingency tables and Fisher's exact tests.The survey was sent to 1129 members of the AAFPRS. The response rate was 11.7% (n=132). Most respondents were fellowship-trained surgeons (79%) in the academic setting (55%), and most have been in practice for more than 10 years (53%). Practice setting and patient volume were the factors most associated with significant variations in management, including the use of facial paralysis grading scales, photography/videography, patient-reported outcome metrics, as well as differences in both noninvasive and surgical management.Based on the present study, several physician demographic factors may play a role in choosing which diagnostic and treatment options are employed for facial paralysis, with practice setting and patient volume appearing to be the 2 variables associated with the most significant differences.

Abstract

The infratemporal fossa is a complex space that both contains and is closely associated with vital neurovascular structures. As such, surgical access of the infratemporal fossa presents a definitive challenge requiring complete understanding of ventral skull base anatomy and expertise with both open craniofacial and endoscopic techniques. Anterior and lateral approaches to the infratemporal fossa vary greatly and may be individualized to each case in order to optimize visualization and instrumentation. Significant progress has been made in the development of surgical techniques for treatment of tumors involving the infratemporal fossa, including expanded endonasal approaches. Endoscopic, minimally invasive, and open approaches each provide distinct advantages and disadvantages. In the present article, we will review indications and limitations of the varied methodology for approaching the infratemporal fossa.

Abstract

Objective: Identify risk factors and perioperative morbidity for pediatric patients undergoing septoplasty. Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric (NSQIP-P) database was retrospectively queried to identify patients who underwent septoplasty (CPT 30520) for a diagnosis of deviated nasal septum (ICD J34.2) from 2018 to 2019. Outcomes analyzed include patient demographics, medical comorbidities, surgical setting, operative characteristics, length of stay, and postoperative outcomes. Results: A total of 729 children were identified. Median age at time of surgery was 15.8 years, with most patients (82.8%) >12 years of age; no significant association was identified between age at time of surgery and adverse surgical outcomes. Overall, postoperative complications were uncommon (0.6%), including readmission (0.4%), septic shock (0.1%), and surgical site infection (0.1%). A history of asthma was found to be a significant risk factor for postoperative complications ( P = .035) as well as BMI ( P = .028). Conclusion: The 30-day postoperative complications following pediatric septoplasty in children reported in the NSQIP-P database are infrequent. Special considerations regarding young age, complex sinonasal anatomy, and surgical technique remain important features in considering corrective surgery for the pediatric nose and certainly warrant further investigation in subsequent studies.

Abstract

Objective To describe and analyze the demographics and academic backgrounds of United States otolaryngology program directors (PD) and assess gender disparity in the field. Methods This was a cross-sectional study in which an online search using publicly available sources was performed to gather information on PDs for 125 United States otolaryngology programs from May 14, 2021, to May 30, 2021. Data collected included PD appointment year, age, gender, resident gender breakdown, degree, as well as training location and graduation year. Results There were 69.6% programs with a male PD and 30.4% with a female PD. Ninety percent of PDs have an MD degree and 9.6% have a DO degree. The current average age of PDs was 49.9 years old (range 35–79). Males were older than females PD (51.0 vs 47.1 years, P = 0.045) and have served a longer time as PD (7.1 vs 4.8 years, P = 0.019). There was no significant difference in other variables collected. There were 27.3% of program directors that held the position of professor, 44.5% associate professor, and 28.2% assistant professor. The most common subspecialty practiced by otolaryngology PDs was head and neck oncology. Conclusion Disparity in women’s representation in otolaryngology still exists, but the program director leadership position demonstrates better parity. There is an equal percent representation when examining female PDs and female otolaryngologists in academic medicine. Continued efforts to encourage women to enter and become leaders in otolaryngology are necessary moving forward.

Abstract

The use of electronic vapor products (EVPs) has increased dramatically in the past decade. The objectives of our study were to examine the frequency of EVP use; to identify demographic characteristics, risk-taking behaviors, and beliefs about vaping; and to determine symptoms associated with EVPs among adolescents. A questionnaire addressing these objectives was administered to a convenience sample of subjects aged 12 to 23 years. Among 494 completed questionnaires, 80% of responders were considered experimenters/nonusers (never tried or tried one time) and 20% were considered frequent users (at least once a month). We identified demographic features and risk-taking behaviors associated with EVP use. In the previous 6 months, frequent users were more likely to report headache, cough, sleep disturbances, dehydration, weakness, racing heart, chest pain, and tremors. Our findings provide evidence to support efforts to decrease EVP use through screening, education, and preventative strategies.

Abstract

Objective: Temporal bone computed tomography (CT) requires a relatively high radiation dose to produce high-resolution images required to define surgical anatomy. In the acute setting, the need for this detailed evaluation of temporal bone pathology may not be required for nonsurgical management and clinical decision-making. We performed a retrospective review of the clinical characteristics and subsequent management of children who underwent CT of the temporal bone with the goal of optimizing clinical decision-making and mitigating the risks of radiation exposure in children.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Pediatric sexual assault (SA) victims are a special population eligible for HPV vaccination at the age of 9 years. National clinical practice guidelines advise clinicians to address HPV during emergency department (ED)-based SA care and at follow-up. At our institution, addressing HPV among suspected SA victims was highly variable, and HPV counseling was subsequently recommended on an ED-based acute SA clinical pathway as standard care. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of age-eligible SA victims who received HPV counseling, determine victim characteristics associated with addressing HPV during SA care, and identify barriers to addressing HPV in the ED. METHODS This study used a retrospective chart review of 448 pediatric SA victims presenting to the ED for acute postassault care. RESULTS HPV was discussed in 10 of 56 (18%) and 37 of 49 (76%) cases in the control versus intervention groups, respectively. To verify vaccination status, caregiver recall was relied upon for 32 of 56 patients in the control group (57%) and 24 of 49 patients in the intervention group (48.9%). Factors associated with failure to discuss HPV during postassault care were younger age at encounter (OR = 0.78, 95% CI [0.67, 0.90], p < 0.001), verbal report of vaccination status verification (OR = 2.98, 95% CI [1.51, 6.01]), and male gender of the victim (OR = 3.35, 95% CI [1.20, 11.94]). CONCLUSIONS Significant barriers to addressing HPV in the ED setting exist, most significantly reliance on caregiver recall to guide vaccination administration, raising concern for overvaccination and undervaccination.
