Background Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a refractory subtype of chronic rhinosinusitis. There paucity data investigating the association epidemiologic markers disease severity. The primary objective this study to evaluate components severity with socioeconomic status and health care access. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients diagnosed AFRS by Bent Kuhn criteria from 2000 2013. Severity measured orbitocranial involvement, bone erosion, Lund‐Mackay score,...
To examine the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).Retrospective chart review of patients who underwent surgical repair encephaloceles and/or CSF at a tertiary medical center over 12-year period.Pertinent demographic, clinical, data including age, sex, history were obtained. Patients classified by etiology leak into spontaneous group nonspontaneous group, which included with documented trauma, malignancy, or known iatrogenic injury.We...
Abstract Objective The purpose of this specialty‐specific clinical practice guideline is to identify quality improvement opportunities and provide clinicians with trustworthy, evidence‐based recommendations for the surgical management chronic rhinosinusitis in adults. target audience includes otolaryngologist‐head neck surgeons who manage adults rhinosinusitis, including candidacy performance endoscopic sinus surgery. Methods This was developed using 55‐page protocol published as American...
Patients with Parkinson's disease are at increased risk for falls and associated hip fractures as a result of tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, postural instability. The available literature is limited conflicting regarding the optimal surgical treatment postoperative complications mortality in this unique patient population. We asked: (1) Is there difference after patients compared similar without disease? (2) Does lead to higher rate reoperation operative femoral neck fractures? (3)...
1) Compare rates of post-tonsillectomy bleeding in pediatric patients with and without von Willebrand disease (vWD). 2) Identify factors that may increase the risk for children vWD.Historical cohort study.Tertiary care, university-based hospital.Medical records were examined 99 vWD younger than 18 years who underwent tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy from August 1997 to October 2005. Subjects matched age, year surgery, type indication surgery.Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage occurred eight (8%)...
To quantify maxillary sinus volume and mucosal surface area (SA) that is accessible endoscopically via a middle meatal antrostomy to explore the financial implications of using multiple disposable instruments for this procedure.Eight cadaver sinuses configured with image guidance software were evaluated. In each sinus, standard was created, through which curved microdebriders 15, 40, 70, 120° placed. The SA region by microdebrider tip calculated.Mean 16.5 ± 2.5 cm(3) mean 31.0 2.3 cm(2). 70...
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact demographics and sinonasal comorbidities on revision rate functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).Although (ESS) often successful in providing long-term relief patients suffering from CRS, can occur. There conflicting literature race FESS outcomes.A single-center retrospective cohort that underwent CRS between January 1, 2015 June 2021 at a single tertiary care academic center.A total 682 ages 18 89...
The purpose of this study is to characterize the presentation, outcomes, and barriers care for White non-White patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).ESS often successful in providing long-term relief suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Literature that uses robust measures socioeconomic status (SES) assess ESS outcomes limited.A retrospective matched cohort who underwent CRS between 1/1/2015 6/1/2021 at a single tertiary academic center was conducted. were 1-to-1 by sex...
Background Clear anterior rhinorrhea is commonly observed in older adults and widely known as “senile rhinorrhea.” Although appreciated the literature, no studies support that clear increases with age. Our goal was to determine prevalence of variation between young old. Additionally, we sought if bothersome enough for patients seek treatment. Methods A questionnaire randomly distributed 158 adults, 76 on University Pittsburgh Undergraduate campus, 82 at Longwood Retirement Community 2011....
