Mitigating Infection Risk in Upper Airway Stimulation
CONCLUSIONS: While no significant difference in infection risk was noted after modifying infection control protocols, additional longer-term study is warranted to elucidate effective infection reduction strategies.PMID:37927122 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231209540 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Role of Lymphovascular Invasion in Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma Regional Metastasis and Prognosis
CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that LVI is a significant predictor of the presence of cervical lymph node metastasis at presentation independent of other known prognostic factors. LVI, however, was not found to be a significant independent predictor of locoregional or distant recurrence.Level of Evidence: Level III.PMID:37927046 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231211116 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Postoperative Urinary Complications in Head and Neck Free Flap Reconstructive Surgery
CONCLUSION: Foley catheter duration impacts the risk of POUR requiring straight catheterization and subsequently, foley replacement. Optimal timing for foley catheter removal in the postoperative period remains to be elucidated. Removal of catheters between 21 and 48 hours after surgery may decrease the risk of POUR without increasing the rate of CAUTI in patients with head and neck pathology undergoing free flap reconstructive surgery.PMID:37902061 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231208256 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Bullying, Peer Victimization, and Quality of Life in Pediatric Hearing Loss Patients: A Pilot Study
CONCLUSION: In this small sample of school-aged children, any hearing loss, even with mild severity, was associated with diminished health-related quality of life; however, this was unrelated to hearing aid use. Wearing a hearing aid did not appear to be linked to higher bullying and peer victimization rates. Along with further studies on BPV with larger sample sizes, the findings in this study may help physicians counsel parents and children on the psychosocial aspects of hearing loss treatment and guide care decisions.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.PMID:37897229 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231208260 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhino...

Machine Learning Models for Predicting Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Outcome: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Although these models showed great performance and promising results, future studies are still needed before these models can be applied in a real-world setting. Future studies should employ multiple cohorts, different feature selection methods, and external validation to further validate the models' applicability.PMID:37864312 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231206902 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)
