Barriers to Pediatric Osseointegrated Bone-Conduction Hearing Devices.

Objective: To identify social, demographic, and clinical barriers for implantation with Osseointegrated Bone Conduction Devices (OBCD) in pediatric candidates.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study of 94 children who met standard OBCD implantation criteria.

Setting: Tertiary stand-alone children's hospital.

Barriers to Decannulation After Double-Stage Laryngotracheal Reconstruction.

Objectives/hypothesis: To identify any potential barriers for decannulation in children undergoing double-staged laryngotracheal reconstruction (dsLTR) beyond the severity of disease itself.

Study Design: Case series with chart review.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review from 2008 to 2018 of 41 children who had undergone dsLTR as primary treatment for laryngotracheal stenosis at a stand-alone tertiary children's hospital.

Association of Estrogen Receptor Alpha Expression With Survival in Oropharyngeal Cancer Following Chemoradiation Therapy.

Background: Oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma (OPSC) continues to increase in incidence secondary to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Despite the good overall prognosis for these patients, treatment with chemoradiation is associated with morbidity and treatment failure. Better predictors for disease outcome are needed to guide de-intensification regimens.
