Objectives: With widespread vaccination against COVID-19, concerns regarding side effects have been raised. We aim to assess the frequency of otolaryngologic adverse events (AEs) following COVID-19 vaccination as compared with other vaccines in a national database.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis of national registry.
Article Synopsis
- Prolonged length of stay (LOS) in tracheoplasty patients relates to increased morbidity and resource use, prompting this study to identify contributing factors.
- Analysis of the NSQIP database revealed that 252 patients had a median LOS of 7 days, with over 10 days classified as prolonged.
- Key factors linked to extended hospital stays included obesity, diabetes, dyspnea, chronic steroid use, and significantly, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with COPD showing a strong correlation to longer LOS.
Objectives: Open repair of mandibular fractures are frequently performed surgical procedures. Increasing rates of such fractures are seen in older adults following falls. This study assesses the impact of older age on early complications following mandible fracture repair.

Objectives: Matching to an otolaryngology residency program is a competitive process for medical students, and research performed by students is considered as a factor for granting interviews by program directors. Because abstracts, presentations and publications are all reported in combination by the National Resident Matching Program's "Charting Outcomes in the Match" (ChOM) and may be weighted differently by PDs, we specifically investigated the number of publications by past applicants accepted to top otolaryngology residency programs.
Methods: The top 25 otolaryngology residency programs were identified using Doximity, sorting by reputation.
