Revisiting systematic geographical variations in tonsils surgery in children in the Spanish National Health System: spatiotemporal ecological study on hospital administrative data
Conclusion Our study showed wide persistent variations with a steady increase in rates and risk of T&A and a stagnation of T alone, where most of the variation risk was explained at HCA level. (Source: BMJ Open)

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction in Children with Adenoid Hypertrophy: The Effect of Intranasal Azelastine-Fluticasone Spray Treatment on Middle Ear Ventilation and Adenoid Tissue
CONCLUSIONS: AH significantly increases the frequency of ETD. In this study, it was observed that Aze-Flu treatment was significantly effective in both regression of the adenoid tissue and Eustachian tube dysfunction. We believe that it can be applied as an initial therapy in children with AH and associated ETD.PMID:36416201 | DOI:10.1177/01455613221140281 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

The Role of Montelukast Sodium in Children with Adenoid Hypertrophy - A Comparative Study
Conclusion Oral Montelukast therapy is seen to be effective not only in the reduction of the size of adenoids but also in improvement of the overall symptoms and can thus be considered as a viable alternative . (Source: Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery)

Changes in Pre- and Post-adenoidectomy Bacterial Profile in Children With Chronic Rhinosinusitis
CONCLUSION: The preoperative bacterial abundance of the nasal cavity and the adenoid surfaces was similar, showing a clear correlation. No single specific bacterium was established to be a dominant species associated with the development of CRS in children. The post-adenoidectomy bacterial richness in the nasal cavity was significantly increased, which may be closely related to the relief of postoperative sinusitis symptoms.PMID:36269763 | DOI:10.1177/01455613221135647 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Measuring the Impact of a Delay in Care on Pediatric Otolaryngologic Surgery Completion
Conclusions: Just over half of patients who had pediatric otolaryngologic surgery canceled during a period of social distancing went on to have surgery within a 4-month timeframe. This reflects the dependence of pediatric otolaryngologic surgery on environmental exposures and may represent a potential target for prevention and management of some pediatric otolaryngology diseases.PMID:36240145 | DOI:10.1177/01455613221134428 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Prevalence of Emergence Delirium in Children Undergoing Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy
CONCLUSIONS: Males, toddlers, and preschool-age children were more likely to have ED. Males with ED had longer total anesthesia times. ED was associated with longer phase I times in ASA I patients.PMID:36212781 | PMC:PMC9534659 | DOI:10.1155/2022/1465999 (Source: Anesthesiology Research and Practice)
