Epistaxis: The demographics, etiology, management, and predictors of outcome in Jos, North-Central Nigeria.

Background: Epistaxis, though a mere nuisance can have life-threatening consequences. This first study from Jos on epistaxis aims to determine its sociodemographic characteristics, causes, the treatment modalities and the predictors of patient outcome.

Study Design: A retrospective chart review.

The predictive factors of primary head and neck cancer stage at presentation and survival in a developing nation's tertiary hospital.

Background: Stage of head and neck cancers at presentation is a strong determinant of outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate predictors of stage of head and neck cancers at presentation and survival in a Nigerian tertiary hospital.

Patients And Methods: Health records that met the inclusion criteria for head and neck cancers were retrieved using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision and analyzed with associations between variables modeled using logistic regression analysis.

The epidemiology, treatment, and determinants of outcome of primary head and neck cancers at the Jos University Teaching Hospital.

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the epidemiology, treatment, and factors that determine the outcomes of head and neck cancers (HNC).

Patients And Methods: Retrospective analytical review of HNC managed at the Jos University Teaching Hospital between May 2007 and April 2017 using the International Classification of Diseases version 10.

Results: Of 487 head and neck neoplasms, 129 (26.

Identifying Risk Factors for Morbidity and Mortality in Patients with Primary Head and Neck Cancers in a Nigerian Population.

Background: The risk factors for head and neck cancers (HNC) vary in different parts of the world.

Objectives: To identify the risk factors for HNC and the correlation between these factors and the involved anatomical sites.

Methods: We retrieved and analyzed health records of patients that met the inclusion criteria for HNC managed at our facility in a 10-year period using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) version 10.

Otorhinolaryngological manifestations in head trauma: A prospective study of the epidemiology, clinical presentations, management, and outcomes.

Background: Otorhinolaryngological injuries following head trauma may be missed, overlooked, or forgotten in the acute phase resulting in worsened management outcomes. This study aims to report the epidemiology, clinical presentations, management, and outcomes of otorhinolaryngological injuries in head trauma with a view to creating awareness for early recognition and prompt treatment.

Patients And Methods: Head injured patients consecutively presenting over a 5-year period were prospectively studied for age, gender, otorhinolaryngological presentations, interventions, and outcome of interventions.
