Health Services and Outcomes Research Center for Outcome and Effectiveness Research and Education, School of Public Health, Department of Epidemiology, School of Medicine, University of Alabama atBirmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Background: The creation of The Joint Commission primary stroke centers (PSCs) has increased access to acute stroke care in metropolitan areas. We hypothesized that the rise in PSCs in the Houston area was associated with demographic changes and decreased trial enrollment at our comprehensive stroke center.
Methods: Consecutive admissions to the UT Houston stroke team from January 2005 to June 2011 were reviewed for demographic and clinical information.
Operative management of choanal atresia: a 15-year experience.
JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
January 2013
Division of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Alabama atBirmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the long-term surgical outcomes of choanal atresia repair in pediatric patients, focusing on various factors influencing success rates.
- Between 1996 and 2010, 42 patients underwent surgical procedures, with a follow-up duration averaging 6.3 years; only 31 had their initial repair performed by the same faculty, resulting in a total of 43 subsequent endoscopic surgeries.
- The findings revealed a low revision surgery rate (21% for those operated on) and indicated that additional treatments like mitomycin C, stenting, or dilation did not significantly impact the success of the initial surgical repairs.
