A core component of delivering care head and neck diseases is an adequate workforce. The World Health Organization report, Multi-Country Assessment National Capacity to Provide Hearing Care, captured primary workforce estimates from 68 member states in 2012, noting that response rates were a limitation updated more comprehensive data are needed.
Abstract Background. Carcinoma of the larynx is most common cancer affecting head and neck region. In Northern Europe, early laryngeal almost universally treated by irradiation, but elsewhere it surgery. The main aim this study was to determine whether there any difference in survival between two therapeutic options. secondary assess speech voice quality a small, randomized sample patients from each treatment group. Methods. subjects investigated were 488 with T1–2, N0 squamous cell...
The Science Citation Index (SCI) was introduced primarily as a method of information retrieval but has also been used an objective measure the quality article. classics have described papers that cited 100 times or more. aim this study to identify articles published during 20th century in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery journals achieved classic citation status present analysis data. Using database provided by Institute Scientific Information (Philadelphia, PA), assessment performed all...
A high rate of errors citation and quotation has been reported in the publications many medical specialties. The aim this study was to determine prevalence otolaryngology/head neck surgery journals. retrospective analysis performed based on first issue for 1997 each four journals: Laryngoscope; Annals Otology, Rhinology Laryngology; Clinical Otolaryngyology; Journal Laryngology Otology. sample 50 references from journal randomly selected checked accuracy against original referenced paper....
Citation classics have traditionally been defined in the smaller medical specialties as any article published a peer-reviewed journal that has received 100 or more citations from other articles also journals. This study aimed to determine patterns of citation changes field otorhinolaryngology and head neck surgery (OHNS) over past decade serves follow-up an original 2002, "A Century Classics Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery."Bibliometric analysis.Using Journal Reports Web Science, OHNS...
The aim of this study was to determine the publication rate scientific papers in peer review journals presented at Otorhinolarygological Research Society (ORS) meetings from 1978 1995 inclusive. abstracts presentations ORS are published Clinical Otolaryngology. A MEDLINE search performed on using both authors and key words within text abstract. rate, journal publication, time change contents, conclusions were tabulated. for 69.09%. average 22.5 months. Papers derived most commonly...
To assess predictive factors of long-term facial nerve function in a series patients undergoing vestibular schwannoma surgery and to evaluate the reproducibility relevant parameters.Prospective.Three tertiary referral neurotology units two separate countries.A total 67 patients, with normal preoperative an anatomically intact postoperatively, during sequential 18-month period.Recording intraoperative stimulus amplitudes (minimum intensity medial tumor after excision) postoperative up 2 years...
ABSTRACT Objectives To gain insight into the integrity of research in Otolaryngology‐Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) literature through characterising retracted articles, analysing reason for their retraction, and trends collected data. Methods Pubmed, Embase, Retraction Watch Database were queried articles published between dates 1/31/92 9/30/22. Articles with titles relating to OHNS subjects journals, as determined by Scimago Journal Country Ranking, selected further analysis. Variables...
There is a need for an uncomplicated, consistent method to predict facial nerve function after acoustic neuroma surgery. A prospective study with 2-year follow-up of 35 patients undergoing surgery was performed assessing how well intraoperative monitor electrophysiological thresholds and postsurgery can ultimate function. Tumour size strong predictor immediate (P-value < 0.0005) long-term = 0.004). Immediate strongly predicted by stimulus intensity 0.007) there suggestion relationship...
The investigation of swallowing function and the detection aspiration has evolved over past 10 years with introduction fibreoptic endoscopic assessment. Practical reasons can limit use videofluoroscopy in some patients. A prospective study 20 sets videofluoroscopic assessments were compared. Endoscopic assessment was found to be a highly sensitive specific method determining safety. Reduced or absent laryngeal sensation at endoscopy correlates silent thus high risk pneumonia.
Bibliometric analysis is used to assess the 'impact' of scientific journals. The commonest method evaluation impact factor. aim this study was analyse citation data for otorhinolaryngology journals years 1994 1998. Data on total number citations and factor obtained from CD-ROM editions 1994-98 Journal Citation Reports 'Web Science' database. adjusted five-year has been calculated. Fifteen have identified ranked according Head Neck highest Archives Otolaryngology - Surgery There considerable...
