We remain honored and humbled to have been 2023 Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) Traveling Fellows.

Predictive factors for decreased baseline quality of life in patients with sinonasal malignancies
ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate a negative impact on baseline QOL in patients with SNMs and suggest sex-specific and symptom-related lower QOL scores, with minimal histopathology association. Anatomical tumor involvement may be more reflective of QOL than T-staging, as orbital and skull base erosion, PNI, and palate lesions are significantly associated with reduced baseline QOL.

Decisional regret, symptom burden, and quality of life following transoral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the TORS cohort expressed very limited decisional regret. DRS scores were unaffected by clinicodemographics or additional adjuvant therapies, but decision regret was correlated with worse QOL and worse swallowing.PMID:37579543 | DOI:10.1016/j.oraloncology.2023.106537 (Source: Cancer Control)

Evaluating a pilot community-based self-management program for adults with spinal cord injury
CONCLUSION: A SCI-specific community-based self-management program was associated with short-term improvements in self-efficacy and was well-received. Further research is required to determine its effectiveness, essential program features that promote successful outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of program implementation.PMID:37548572 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2220510 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)
