Socioeconomic and Ethnic Disparities in Timing and Outcome of Interarytenoid Injection Augmentation.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between social determinants of health and timeliness of management, adherence to follow-up, and outcomes of treatment with interarytenoid injection augmentation (IAIA).

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of all pediatric patients treated with IAIA at a large pediatric institution's multidisciplinary aerodigestive clinic between August 2022 and February 2024. Retrieved demographic factors, dates of referral, consultation, treatment, and follow-up, as well as objective measures of dysphagia and aspiration via videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) reports, using dysphagia outcome and severity scale (DOSS) scores and the greatest unsafe thickness, or 'aspiration score'.

The impact of internet resources and artificial intelligence on information on myringotomy tubes.

Purpose: To compare the quality and readability of patient education materials on myringotomy tubes from artificial intelligence and Google search.

Methods: Three questions were posed to ChatGPT and Google Gemini addressing "Condition," "Investigation," and "Treatment" domains. Google was queried for "Ear tubes," "Myringotomy and tubes," and "Tympanostomy tubes.

Efficacy and Complications of Interarytenoid Injection for Dysphagia in Infants 1-Year-Old and Under.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and complication rates of interarytenoid injection augmentation (IAIA) for the treatment of dysphagia in patients 1 year of age and under and to determine if concurrent feeding therapy (FT) affects outcome.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Setting: Tertiary pediatric hospital.

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Outcomes in Pediatric Trisomy 21 Patients with Overweight or Obesity.

Objectives: To assess the impact of body mass index (BMI) on hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HNS) implantation outcomes in pediatric patients with Down syndrome (DS). We compare outcomes of HNS implantation when comparing children based on overweight or obese status.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients at a single tertiary pediatric hospital who underwent HNS implantation between 2022 and 2024.

Cost-Effectiveness of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Pediatric Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Down Syndrome Patients.

Objective: To examine the cost-effectiveness of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) implantation at an early age in simulated pediatric cohorts with Down Syndrome (DS) and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Study Design: Cost-utility analysis.

Setting: Hypothetical cohort.
