Abstract

Background: Differences in treatment outcomes between community or academic centers are incompletely understood. Methods: Retrospective review of head and neck cancer patients between 2010 and 2020 in a rural health region. Kaplan–Meier curves and log‐rank tests were used to evaluate survival outcomes, along with bivariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. Linear regression was used for functional outcomes of tracheotomy and gastrostomy tube dependence. Results: Two hundred and forty‐eight patients treated at an academic center were compared with 94 patients treated in community centers. In multivariable analysis, the risk of death (HR = 0.60, p = 0.019), and risk of recurrence were lower (HR = 0.29, p < 0.001) for patients treated in academic centers. Patients treated in community centers had longer gastrostomy tube dependence (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that treatment at an academic center was associated with a lower risk of recurrence and shorter gastrostomy tube dependence compared to treatment in the community.

13. Telemedicine in Otolaryngology in the Context of the End of the COVID‐19 Public Health Emergency.

Author

Lorenz, F. Jeffrey, Heikel, Tiffany, Tucker, Jacqueline, Lin, Andrea, Gniady, John P., and Goldenberg, David

Abstract

At the onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the US Department of Health and Human Services implemented a range of flexibilities to expedite the adoption of telehealth. As our specialty moved past the height of the pandemic and the use of telehealth transitioned from a necessity to a convenience, numerous health care providers (physicians, advanced practice providers, speech‐language pathologists, and audiologists) recognized its benefits and continued to offer these services. In May 2023, the current administration terminated the COVID‐19 public health emergency declaration, with some telehealth guidelines in effect until December 31, 2023, and others extended through December 31, 2024. Amidst the changing telehealth landscape, the objective of this commentary is to explain policy implications on Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and provide insight into how to best implement telehealth under these new guidelines.

Abstract

Background: In regard to antibiotic stewardship, it is important to understand the appropriate time to prescribe antibiotics in pediatric facial fracture management. Objective: To evaluate the utility of antibiotics in pediatric facial fractures and determine situational variables influencing appropriate antibiotic prescription. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases for articles published from 2000 to 2022. Inclusion criteria consisted of all studies assessing pediatric facial fractures that mentioned antibiotic use. Results: A total of 13 studies were included in the full review. The reviewed studies comprised 31 pediatric patients ranging from 6 months to 18 years old. Most studies were case reports and case series ( N  = 9). Antibiotics were prescribed for the majority (96.7%) of patients. Antibiotic regimens varied by timing of administration, antibiotic used, and dosage. Fracture locations also varied widely, including orbital, zygomatic, nasal, mandibular, and maxillary fractures. Conclusions: Additional studies with more substantial evidence are needed to fully understand the situational appropriateness of antibiotic use in pediatric facial fractures.
