The American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation has published a supplement to this issue featuring the updated “Clinical Practice Guideline: Adult Sinusitis” as Otolaryngology–Head . To assist in implementing guideline recommendations, article summarizes rationale, purpose, key action statements. 14 developed recommendations address diagnostic accuracy for adult rhinosinusitis, appropriate use ancillary tests confirm diagnosis guide management (including radiography,...
Objective To develop a clinical consensus statement on the optimal diagnosis and management of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (PCRS). Methods A representative 9‐member panel otolaryngologists with no relevant conflicts interest was assembled to consider opportunities optimize PCRS. working definition PCRS scope pertinent otolaryngologic practice were first established. Patients ages 6 months 18 years without craniofacial syndromes or immunodeficiency defined as targeted population...
Objective Neck masses are common in adults, but often the underlying etiology is not easily identifiable. While infections cause most of neck children, persistent adults neoplasms. Malignant neoplasms far exceed any other adult mass. Importantly, an asymptomatic mass may be initial or only clinically apparent manifestation head and cancer, such as squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), lymphoma, thyroid, salivary gland cancer. Evidence suggests that a patient should considered malignant until...

Objective To develop a clinical consensus statement on the use of balloon dilation eustachian tube (BDET). Methods An expert panel otolaryngologists was assembled with nominated representatives general otolaryngology and relevant subspecialty societies. The target population adults 18 years or older who are candidates for BDET because obstructive dysfunction (OETD) in 1 both ears 3 months longer that significantly affects quality life functional health status. A modified Delphi method used...
Abstract Vitamin D plays a critical role in many physiological functions, including calcium metabolism and musculoskeletal health. This commentary aims to explore the intricate relationships among skin complexion, race, 25-hydroxyvitamin (25[OH]D) levels, focusing on challenges Endocrine Society encountered during clinical practice guideline development. Given that increased melanin content reduces 25(OH)D production response UV light, development panel addressed potential for screening...
Abstract A long-held precept is that vitamin D supplementation primarily, if not exclusively, benefits individuals with low circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin (25[OH]D) concentrations at baseline. However, the most appropriate 25(OH)D threshold to distinguish unacceptably vs reliably adequate remains controversial. Such proposals have largely been based on observational studies, which provide less robust evidence compared randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Since Endocrine Society's first...
Objective To develop a clinical consensus statement on the use of sinus ostial dilation (SOD) paranasal sinuses. Methods An expert panel otolaryngologists was assembled to represent general otolaryngology and relevant subspecialty societies. The target population is adults 18 years or older with chronic recurrent rhinosinusitis (with without nasal polyps, prior surgery) for whom SOD being recommended, defined as endoscopic balloon device enlarge open outflow tracts maxillary, frontal,...
