Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
November 2024
Objective: The modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5) is a comorbidity-based risk stratification tool previously validated in patients undergoing several surgical procedures. This study investigates the association between mFI-5 score and cricopharyngeal myotomy (CM) complications.
Study Design: Retrospective database review.
Article Synopsis
- Giant pituitary adenomas (GPAs) represent a small but significant portion of pituitary tumors, and the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal (EET) approach has become the preferred surgical method, surpassing older techniques due to improvements in surgical outcomes since 2012.
- A systematic review analyzed various studies to compare EET with microsurgical transsphenoidal (MT) and transcranial (TC) approaches, evaluating factors like gross total resection rates, visual improvement, and complications.
- Results showed that EET had higher gross total resection rates (42%) and better visual outcomes (85%) compared to MT (33% and 73%) and TC (8% and 56
Article Synopsis
- Smoking significantly impacts postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing open Zenker's diverticulectomy, with smokers facing worse complications than non-smokers.
- In a study of 715 patients, only 70 were smokers, who were generally younger and had a longer operative time compared to non-smokers.
- Smokers had higher odds of experiencing a range of issues, including infections, complications, longer hospital stays, and the need for ventilation/intubation after surgery.
Objectives: Evaluate and compare the ability of large language models (LLMs) to diagnose various ailments in otolaryngology.
Methods: We collected all 100 clinical vignettes from the second edition of Otolaryngology Cases-The University of Cincinnati Clinical Portfolio by Pensak et al. With the addition of the prompt "Provide a diagnosis given the following history," we prompted ChatGPT-3.
Article Synopsis
- Management of craniopharyngiomas is complicated due to high recurrence rates post-surgery, and the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) is considered a safer alternative for primary cases compared to traditional transcranial methods.
- A systematic review of 75 cases revealed that after EEA, 60% of patients experienced improved vision, although 17.5% had recurrence, with a significant reduction to 10% for those achieving gross total resection (GTR).
- Challenges and complications included new onset of anterior hypopituitarism and diabetes insipidus in some patients, highlighting the need for careful evaluation of EEA's effectiveness in previously treated cases.
Objective: To investigate medical student research productivity by institutions associated with otolaryngology residency programs and identify correlates of productivity.
Study Design: Retrospective review.
Setting: N/A.
Objective: The 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) has been used to stratify patients based on the risk of postoperative complications in several surgical procedures but has not yet been done in tracheostomies. This study investigates the association between the mFI-5 score and tracheostomy complications.
Study Design: Retrospective database review.
International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors.
Int Forum Allergy Rhinol
February 2024
Article Synopsis
- Sinonasal neoplasms (both benign and malignant) are complex issues for clinicians, highlighting the need for collaboration to improve patient care, as presented in the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT).
- The ICSNT document organizes findings into four main sections: general principles, benign neoplasms, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life, covering 48 specific topics and providing evidence-based recommendations and summaries based on their rigor.
- This comprehensive document reflects a collective effort from an international team to advance understanding and intervention methods for sinonasal neoplasms, while also identifying future research opportunities.

Study Design: Retrospective analysis of national registry.
Objectives: To explore the association between diabetes and outcomes in thyroidectomy patients.
Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis used the 2015-2017 American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Program database. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes were used to identify thyroidectomy cases (60210, 60212, 60220, 60225, 60240, 60252, 60254, 60260, 60270, and 60271).
Objectives: Quantification of academic productivity relies on bibliometric measurements, such as the Hirsch index (h-index). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently developed the relative citation ratio (RCR), an article-level, citation-driven metric that compares researchers with others within their respective fields. Our study is the first to compare the usage of RCR in academic otolaryngology.
