Objective To examine the impact of race/ethnicity on timing and postoperative outcomes primary cleft lip (CL) palate (CP) repair. Design Cross-sectional analysis National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric (NSQIP-P) database from 2013 to 2018. Patients main outcome measures under 2 years age who underwent CL or CP repair were identified in NSQIP-P. Outcomes surgery 30-day readmission reoperation rates stratified by race ethnicity. Results In total, 6021 children 6938 Adjusted...
Objective We aim to investigate the impact of neighborhood‐level social vulnerability on otolaryngology care for children with obstructive sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB). Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting A tertiary children’s hospital. Methods Children aged 2 17 years SDB were included. Residential addresses geocoded geographic information systems, and spatial overlays used assign census tract–level index (SVI) scores each participant. Multivariable logistic regression...
Objectives The goal of the study was to determine whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediates cytomegalovirus (CMV)–induced labyrinthitis. Study Design Murine model CMV infection. Setting University Utah laboratory. Subjects and Methods Nrf2 knockout mice were inoculated with murine CMV. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) then performed on these uninfected controls. BALB/c a marker for ROS production, dihydroethidium (DHE), is expressed 7...
To assess the impact of rural-urban residence on children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) who were candidates for tonsillectomy or without adenoidectomy (TA).Retrospective cohort study.Tertiary children's hospital.A otherwise healthy aged 2 to 18 years a diagnosis SDB between April 2016 and December 2018 recommended TA included. Rural-urban designation was defined by ZIP code approximation commuting area codes. The main outcome association rurality time loss follow-up using...
To describe perioperative feeding performance in infants with Robin sequence (RS) who underwent mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO). A retrospective study of that MDO from May 2010 to December 2019. Tertiary pediatric hospital. total 40 patients and 20 met inclusion criteria. Of the included infants, 6 had an associated syndrome 80% were male. Time full oral feeds, rate G-tube placement, change weight percentile following MDO. Average intake prior was 22.1% individual goal feeds. Among...
Despite evidence-based guidelines for obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), recent studies continue to highlight treatment inequities. We used qualitative research methods examine parental facilitators and barriers SDB treatment.
This study collected national inpatient data to investigate the impact of hospital specialty and size on patient outcomes following mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO).Kids' Inpatient Database was used identify patients less than 12 months age with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) who underwent MDO in one years: 2006, 2009, 2012.Inpatient database from United States.Two hundred seventy-six PRS 134 (48.6%) identified as nonsyndromic 142 (51.4%) syndromic.Mandibular osteogenesis.Length stay,...
Objective: The utility of REM AHI in managing pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is not fully understood. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship preoperative postoperative persistence OSA children who underwent adenotonsillectomy. Methods: retrospective chart review identified under age 18 years that received an adenotonsillectomy for and a polysomnogram. Children with craniofacial or neuromuscular disorders tracheostomy were excluded. primary outcome was OSA, defined as...
Objectives: The goals of this study are to assess primary care provider (PCP) knowledge and attitudes toward pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), identify variations in practice patterns. Design: A cross-sectional survey including the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Knowledge Attitudes Children (OSAKA-KIDS) questionnaire was administered PCPs from August December 2021. Univariable analyses multivariable linear regressions were performed analyze associations between demographics knowledge,...
Objective Prior research suggests that children with cleft palate (CP) are at increased risk of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). However, few studies differentiate the effects CP repair on SDB based syndrome status. The goal this study was to evaluate differences in after palatoplasty among nonsyndromic CP, syndromic and isolated Robin sequence (RS). Design Retrospective chart review. Setting Tertiary academic children's hospital. Patients/Participants A total 145 who underwent...
Hospital admission following pediatric adenoidectomy without tonsillectomy is not well characterized. The objective of our study to better characterize risk factors for post-operative complications in younger children undergoing inpatient adenoidectomy.A cross-sectional analysis using data derived from the Kid's Inpatient Database (KID) was performed. Study participants included <3 years age who underwent an and were admitted hospitals participating KID 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012....
Objective Children with hypopituitarism (CwHP) can present orofacial clefting, frequently in the setting of multiple midline anomalies. Hypopituitarism (HP) complicate medical and surgical care; perioperative risk CwHP during traditionally lower cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) repair is not well described. The objective this study to examine differences complications mortality CL/P compared children without (CwoHP). Design A retrospective cross-sectional analysis. Setting 1997 2019 Kids’...
