The Association Between Obesity and the Unified Airway in Children.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and asthma frequently coexhist in children leading to the unified airway theory. Although obesity has been associated with CRS and asthma in adults, studies exploring that association in children are limited. The goal of this study was to evaluate the association between obesity and the unified airway in children.

Role of social determinants of health on quality of life in pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis.

Social determinants of health link to worse quality of life in pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis. The area deprivation index (ADI) may serve to predict health disparities in these patients.

Role of Acute Rhinosinusitis in Periorbital Infections in Children.

Objective: Periorbital cellulitis in children are commonly caused by acute rhinosinusitis (ARS). This study investigated the association of ARS and the severity of periorbital cellulitis in children.

Study Design: Retrospective case-control study of children with periorbital cellulitis with ARS versus periorbital cellulitis without ARS.
