How Do Patients and Otolaryngologists Define Dizziness?
CONCLUSIONS: Patients and otolaryngologists commonly described dizziness using symptoms related to imbalance, lightheadedness, and motion. Patients were more likely to use vision or pain-related terms. Understanding of these semantic differences may enable more effective patient-clinician communication.PMID:38375799 | DOI:10.1177/00034894241233949 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Gender-Diverse Patients' Awareness and Utilization of Gender-Affirming Laryngological Services
CONCLUSION: Most respondents (89%) were linked to the medical community through a PCP. A greater proportion of respondents with a PCP had accessed professional voice therapy and voice surgery compared with respondents without a PCP, though this difference was not statistically significant. Increased communication between GALS providers and PCPs would raise awareness of available services and may strengthen the referral pipeline to increase access to vocal care.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.PMID:38375825 | DOI:10.1177/00034894241232488 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

The Impact of Medical Comorbidities on Cough Improvement Following Superior Laryngeal Block
CONCLUSION: Underlying lung pathology may contribute to decreased iSLN blockade efficacy in the treatment of chronic refractory cough from laryngeal hypersensitivity and its treatment is likely necessary for optimal symptom reduction. Characterizing patient comorbidity profiles can help guide patient counseling on expected treatment efficacy.PMID:38375777 | DOI:10.1177/00034894241231375 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Sellar Reconstruction With a Bioabsorbable Plate After Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Adenoma Resection: Safe and Efficacious
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of postoperative CSF leak and meningitis after use of the RXP for sellar reconstruction compares favorably to other methods, including use of autologous grafts and flaps. Use of RXP during EETS is a safe and efficacious method of sellar reconstruction and may obviate the need for autologous tissue reconstruction after pituitary adenoma resection.PMID:38372259 | DOI:10.1177/00034894241233870 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Cochlear Implantation in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Patients: Speech Perception and Quality of Life
CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the most extensive series of CI in CMT-associated sensorineural hearing loss and auditory neuropathy. Our cohort suggests that CI is a safe and reliable method for hearing rehabilitation that can achieve good speech performance and improve QoL in CMT patients.PMID:38361273 | DOI:10.1177/00034894241232206 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Sinonasal Symptom Correlation With the Postoperative Polyp Scale (POPS)
CONCLUSION: Previous endoscopic nasal polyp grading scales poorly correlate with symptoms and patient reported outcome measures. The new POPS moderately correlates with the total SNOT-22 score and strongly correlates with the Rhinologic subdomain, indicating that it may have good potential as a tool to evaluate postoperative CRSwNP patients.PMID:38344993 | DOI:10.1177/00034894241232475 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Characterizing Trends in Diagnosis and Management of Sinusitis in a Large Health Care System: From Primary Care to Otolaryngology
CONCLUSIONS: Over half of the patients referred to an otolaryngology practice from primary care for sinusitis did not receive a diagnosis of sinusitis from an otolaryngology practice. Further research should investigate implications for increased healthcare costs and inappropriate prescription trends associated with the management of sinusitis.PMID:38345045 | DOI:10.1177/00034894241230365 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)
