Aims: The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed emergency department (ED) referral trends worldwide.
Objectives: We aim to investigate inpatient consultation in the ED of a pediatric otolaryngology-head and neck surgery service during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to two preceding years.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of children under 18 years who had an otolaryngology consultation in Schneider Children's Hospital ED from 2018-2020.
Article Synopsis
- * A majority of responding otolaryngologists prefer inpatient treatment for PTA, primarily utilizing incision and drainage (I&D) over QT, which is rarely chosen as a first-line treatment.
- * Concerns about high perioperative risks contribute to the limited use of QT, with most physicians opting for I&D initially and considering QT mainly after multiple I&D failures.
Objectives: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a predominantly male illness. Although the rate of female patients increased, a knowledge gap exists in the medical literature regarding gender-based differences.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) affected orbital complications in children with acute rhino-sinusitis (OC-ARS) from 2002 to 2019.
- Researchers analyzed data from 265 pediatric patients, dividing them into three groups: before the introduction of PCV7, between PCV7 and PCV13, and after PCV13.
- Results showed a significant drop in the overall incidence of OC-ARS, especially in children aged 0-4 years, but there was an increase in the severity of the disease after PCVs were introduced.

Background: The impact of anticoagulants (AC) and antiplatelets (AP) on the management of acute epistaxis remains unclear. This study investigated the association between AC/AP therapy and treatment outcomes in patients with acute epistaxis.
Methodology: A retrospective analysis of patients presented to the otolaryngology emergency room with acute epistaxis (2014-2022).
