Objective

Telehealth has emerged as a vital medium for healthcare delivery and has been integrated increasingly in clinic and hospital settings in the post-COVID-19 era. However, accessibility of telehealth for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) remains underexplored. As effective communication is critical to high-quality healthcare, a deeper understanding of how DHH individuals interact with telehealth and identifying specific barriers they face can inform targeted interventions to improve care.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 6), a nationally representative dataset. Respondents were stratified by self-identified DHH status. Demographic, internet access, health behavior, and telehealth perception variables were compared between DHH and normal hearing individuals. Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square tests and t-tests.

Results

Among 5694 respondents, 521 identified as DHH. Chi-square testing found that DHH patients reported poorer general health (p < 0.01), lower internet use (p < 0.01), and less engagement with online health resources (p < 0.01), with similar rates of telehealth being offered and utilized. However, DHH individuals were less likely to perceive telehealth as convenient (p = 0.04) and more likely to cite difficulty using the platform (p = 0.01). They were also more likely to value the inclusion of others in their telehealth visits (p < 0.01) and report technical issues (p < 0.01).

Conclusions

While DHH individuals use telehealth at similar rates to the general population, they face significant barriers related to convenience, usability, and communication. Enhancing platform accessibility and expanding support for these patients can help reduce difficulties and further promote equity in telehealth.
目的在后covid -19时代,远程医疗已成为医疗保健服务的重要媒介,并越来越多地融入诊所和医院环境。然而,聋人或重听人(DHH)获得远程医疗的可能性仍未得到充分探索。由于有效的沟通对高质量的医疗保健至关重要,因此更深入地了解DHH个人如何与远程医疗互动,并确定他们面临的具体障碍,可以为有针对性的干预措施提供信息,以改善护理。方法对2022年健康信息全国趋势调查(HINTS 6)这一具有全国代表性的数据集进行了横断面分析。受访者按自我认定的DHH状况分层。比较DHH和正常听力个体的人口统计学、互联网访问、健康行为和远程医疗感知变量。采用卡方检验和t检验进行统计学分析。结果5694名被调查者中,521人被确定为DHH。卡方检验发现DHH患者总体健康状况较差(p <;0.01),互联网使用率较低(p <;0.01),较少使用在线健康资源(p <;0.01),提供和利用远程保健的比率相似。然而,DHH个体不太可能认为远程医疗方便(p = 0.04),更有可能引用使用平台的困难(p = 0.01)。他们也更有可能重视将他人纳入远程医疗访问(p <;0.01)并报告技术问题(p <;0.01)。虽然DHH患者使用远程医疗的比例与一般人群相似,但他们在便利性、可用性和沟通方面面临着重大障碍。加强平台的可及性和扩大对这些患者的支持有助于减少困难并进一步促进远程保健的公平性。

Background

Clinical trials are crucial in advancing novel therapeutic interventions for head and neck cancer. Given the increased cost of modern healthcare, cost considerations in clinical trials are important yet remain limited.

Methods

A search of ClinicalTrials.gov identified all head and neck cancer studies including cost in the trial description or as a study outcome. Data collected included study type, duration, completion status, enrollment, funding type, cost outcomes, and cost-effectiveness analyses.

Results

Among 2290 head and neck cancer-focused clinical trials, only 76 (3.3 %) mentioned cost in any capacity. Among the trials mentioning cost, 53 (70 %) included cost outcomes and 26 (34 %) included cost effectiveness analyses. Cost was reported as a primary outcome in 5 (0.2 %) clinical trials, a secondary outcome in 32 (1.4 %) trials, and an exploratory outcome in 16 (0.7 %) trials. Most trials (87 %) were interventional, and the most common primary interventions were procedures (25 %) or drugs (14 %). The mean enrollment was 206 participants, and mean duration of the trials was 50 months (SD 47). 73 (96 %) studies have not yet reported results.

Conclusion

The inclusion of cost in head and neck cancer clinical trials is limited, with <3 % of trials including cost endpoints and < 2 % including cost-effectiveness analyses. The paucity of available study results hinders the assessment of the ultimate impact on patients, insurance companies, and healthcare systems. Given the rising cost pressures in modern healthcare systems, the low prevalence of cost endpoints and cost-effectiveness analyses underscores the need for increased awareness and investment in this domain.
背景:临床试验对于推进头颈癌的新型治疗干预至关重要。鉴于现代医疗保健成本的增加,临床试验中的成本考虑很重要,但仍然有限。方法在ClinicalTrials.gov网站上搜索所有头颈癌研究,包括试验描述或研究结果中的费用。收集的数据包括研究类型、持续时间、完成状态、入组、资助类型、成本结果和成本-效果分析。结果在2290项头颈部肿瘤临床试验中,只有76项(3.3%)以任何方式提到了费用。在提及成本的试验中,53项(70%)包括成本结果,26项(34%)包括成本效果分析。在5项(0.2%)临床试验中,成本被报告为主要结局,在32项(1.4%)临床试验中被报告为次要结局,在16项(0.7%)临床试验中被报告为探索性结局。大多数试验(87%)是干预性的,最常见的主要干预措施是手术(25%)或药物(14%)。平均入组人数为206人,试验平均持续时间为50个月(标准差47)。73项(96%)研究尚未报告结果。结论在头颈癌临床试验中纳入成本是有限的,只有3%的试验包括成本终点和成本终点。2%包括成本效益分析。现有研究结果的缺乏阻碍了对患者、保险公司和医疗保健系统的最终影响的评估。鉴于现代医疗保健系统中不断上升的成本压力,成本端点和成本效益分析的低流行率强调了增加对这一领域的认识和投资的必要性。

Tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy are often performed with endotracheal intubation (ETT), however use of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) may offer decreased airway irritation. We investigated the laryngospasm rate and conversion rate of LMA use in a total of 1585 retrospective cases of tonsillectomies and/or adenoidectomies, the largest single center cohort to date. We found a low complication rate of 0.19 % and no significant clinical complications. Our study provides data on the safety and efficacy of LMA use in these surgeries and supports the potential use of LMA in cases without significant blood loss.

Effectiveness of 3D animation tools in patient education on cochlear implantation 三维动画工具在人工耳蜗植入患者教育中的效果
IF 1.8 4区 医学 Q2 OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-09-01 Epub Date: 2025-04-28 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjoto.2025.104653

Purpose

Video animations have emerged as effective tools for patient education across various medical fields. Although evidence is mixed, animations show promise in enhancing comprehension, especially in fields like audiology, where verbal communication can be challenging, and the benefits may be even higher. This study explores whether 3D video animations improve patient education during the cochlear implantation (CI) selection process.

Materials and methods

A prospective cohort study was conducted at the Cochlear Implant Center, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam. Forty-six adult patients were included in the study and divided into two groups: one receiving the standard CI selection process and the other receiving the same process with additional 3D video animations. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing their knowledge, self-assessment of their knowledge, and satisfaction. The group with animations also answered additional questions about their experience with the animations.

Results

The group receiving the videos reported significantly higher self-assessment knowledge scores, particularly regarding rehabilitation. However, there were no significant differences in objective knowledge scores between the two groups. Satisfaction with the videos was high, with most participants sharing them with family and friends.

Conclusion

3D video animations enhanced patients' self-perceived knowledge, particularly regarding rehabilitation, but did not significantly improve actual knowledge scores. The findings suggest that video animations are a promising tool for patient education in the CI selection process and warrant further investigation with larger sample sizes.
目的视频动画已经成为各个医学领域对患者进行教育的有效工具。尽管证据不一,但动画在提高理解能力方面显示出了希望,特别是在听力学等领域,语言交流可能具有挑战性,而且好处可能更高。本研究探讨3D视频动画是否能改善人工耳蜗植入(CI)选择过程中的患者教育。材料与方法一项前瞻性队列研究在鹿特丹Erasmus大学医学中心人工耳蜗中心进行。46名成年患者被纳入研究,并分为两组:一组接受标准CI选择过程,另一组接受相同的过程,并附加3D视频动画。参与者完成了一份调查问卷,评估他们的知识,自我评估他们的知识和满意度。观看动画的那一组还回答了关于他们观看动画体验的额外问题。结果观看视频组的自我评估知识得分显著提高,尤其是康复方面。但两组在客观知识得分上无显著差异。对这些视频的满意度很高,大多数参与者与家人和朋友分享了这些视频。结论3d视频动画提高了患者的自我感知知识,尤其是康复知识,但对患者的实际知识得分没有显著提高。研究结果表明,在CI选择过程中,视频动画是一种很有前途的患者教育工具,值得进一步进行更大样本量的研究。

Objective: There is currently a paucity of literature detailing the socioeconomic implications on management and outcomes of pediatric subglottic stenosis. Through this study, we sought to ascertain whether disparities of social determinants of health did have a discernible impact on management of subglottic stenosis through endoscopic versus open procedures and whether there would be a difference in outcomes.

Study design: The study is a multi- institutional, academic center, retrospective case series.

Methods: The study examines pediatric patients under the age of 18 evaluated by Ochsner-affiliated hospitals through May 2012 to May 2022 with the diagnosis of subglottic stenosis, acquired or congenital, through Epic SlicerDicer search engine. Patients were stratified into low and high socioeconomic status (SES), which served as independent variables, using principal component analysis of several social determinants. We recorded sex, age, ethnicity, and completion of college education. Interventions reviewed included endoscopic treatment, open airway surgery, and presence of tracheostomy. Outcome measurements included decannulation, time to decannulation, and death. Chi squared analysis was performed on dichotomous variables and student t-test was performed for continuous variables.

Results: The groups were similar in demographics: sex, age, ethnicity, and proportion with college degree. Cotton Meyer grade was significantly higher in low SES compared to high SES (p = 0.04). Patients of low SES were significantly more likely to die (p < 0.001). Low SES patients were more likely to have an acquired rather than a congenital subglottic stenosis as compared to their high SES counterparts (p = 0.02). Low SES patients were also more likely to undergo endoscopic intervention (p = 0.03). There was no statistically significant difference in tracheostomy status or decannulation success between the two groups.

Conclusion: There were statistically significant findings between low and high SES groups. Overall, patients of low SES appeared to have greater severity of subglottic stenosis, with greater number of endoscopic interventions, and greater mortality. This study which collected data from an area with marginalized patients with poor health literacy, demonstrates that sociodemographic factors contribute to disparate intervention and outcomes in pediatric patients with subglottic stenosis.

目的:目前缺乏详细描述小儿声门下狭窄的处理和结果的社会经济影响的文献。通过这项研究,我们试图确定健康的社会决定因素的差异是否确实对通过内窥镜和开放手术治疗声门下狭窄有明显的影响,以及结果是否会有差异。研究设计:本研究为多机构、学术中心、回顾性病例系列研究。方法:本研究通过Epic SlicerDicer搜索引擎,对2012年5月至2022年5月期间在ochsner附属医院评估的18岁以下、诊断为获得性或先天性声门下狭窄的儿童患者进行调查。采用几个社会决定因素的主成分分析,将患者分为低社会经济地位(SES)和高社会经济地位(SES)作为自变量。我们记录了性别、年龄、种族和大学教育的完成程度。干预措施包括内镜治疗,开放气道手术和气管切开术。结果测量包括去管、去管时间和死亡。对二分变量进行卡方分析,对连续变量进行学生t检验。结果:这些群体在人口统计学上相似:性别、年龄、种族和大学学历比例。低社会经济地位的棉花Meyer等级显著高于高社会经济地位(p = 0.04)。结论:低SES组与高SES组之间的差异有统计学意义。总的来说,低SES患者似乎有更严重的声门下狭窄,内窥镜干预的次数更多,死亡率更高。本研究收集了来自健康素养差的边缘患者地区的数据,表明社会人口因素对声门下狭窄儿童患者的不同干预和结果有影响。

Timing of Eustachian tube balloon dilation: Impact on resource utilization and cost 咽鼓管球囊扩张时机:对资源利用和成本的影响
IF 1.8 4区 医学 Q2 OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-09-01 Epub Date: 2025-06-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjoto.2025.104689

Importance

Eustachian tube balloon dilation (ETBD) is a novel treatment option for adult patients with ETD, with superior efficacy to medical therapy. However, appropriate timing of performing ETBD hasn't been thoroughly examined.

Objective

This study compared healthcare resource utilization among patients with ETD that are treated early with ETBD (i.e., within 3 months of ETD diagnosis) versus those treated later (i.e., 3–12 months of ETD diagnosis).

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Utilizing Optum Clinoformatics Socio-Economic Status (SES) Database.

Participants

Patients aged 18 and older who had ETBD procedure between January 2017 to June 2021.

Interventions

Patients were classified into two groups based on the treatment timing of their incident diagnosis of ETD: early treated and late treated.

Main outcomes and measures

Outcomes including 12-month ETD-related surgical procedure rate, number of office visits, medication use, and total cost were assessed and compared among the study cohorts. Study outcomes were assessed using generalized linear regression.

Results

Two hundred seventy-seven patients were identified, with 173 patients in the early ETBD cohort and 104 patients in the late ETBD cohort. Early treated patients had significantly lower ETD-related surgical procedure rates (8.7 % vs. 17.3 %) lower rates (28.9 % vs. 48.1 %) and fewer (0.47 vs. 1.12) ETD-related office visits, and fewer medication claims (2.19 vs. 3.06). The early treated cohort had significantly lower ETD-related costs ($212.15 vs. $551) compared to patients treated later after diagnosis.

Conclusions and relevance

Among ETD patients undergoing ETBD, those treated early had significantly lower healthcare resource utilization and cost in comparison to those treated later. These results will hopefully add evidence to promote the early use of ETBD for purposes of patient benefit and decreased costs.

The authors conducted a retrospective chart review evaluating the predictors of success for endoscopic repair of type 1 laryngeal clefts (LC-1) or deep interarytenoid notches (DIN). Demographics, birth history, medical comorbidities, surgical details, feeding history, and swallow function were collected (n = 52). Repair success was defined as improvement on videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) when initially evaluating the procedure's success (n = 36) and patient-reported symptom improvement when assessing predictive factors (n = 48). McNemar or McNemar-Bowker tests evaluated VFSS-assessed symptom improvement. Patients with post-operative symptom documentation were categorized based on predictors in outcome and assessed for post-operative improvement using the Pearson Chi-square test. Postoperatively, 58 % of patients with VFSS-identified aspiration had resolution. Dysphagia severity decreased (p = 0.009) with no severe cases post-repair. Furthermore, pregnancy complications, preterm birth, NICU stay, prior airway and feeding interventions, and syndromes were not significantly correlated with outcomes. However, trends in data suggest that preterm birth and NICU stay are more common in unsuccessful repairs. Overall, operative intervention significantly reduced aspiration and dysphagia severity.

Objective

The aim of this study is to investigate gender differences in the disease severity and management of orbital infections in children hospitalized for treatment.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study of all children aged 0 to 18 years who had a confirmed diagnosis of preseptal or postseptal cellulitis and were hospitalized over a 15-year period.

Results

The sample consisted of 124 children, 52.4 % male, with mean age of 7.1 years (SD = 4.88, range = 4.9–18) and a relatively equal distribution between preseptal (52.4 %) and postseptal (47.6 %) cellulitis. Although males and females did not differ in rates of preseptal and postseptal cellulitis and Lund-Mackay scores (p > 0.05 for all), males were more likely to undergo surgical management (21.5 % vs 8.5 %; p = 0.049).

Conclusion

Additional research is needed to understand why the management of cellulitis differs between male and female pediatric patients and how it may affect treatment outcomes.

Background

Pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common chronic inflammatory disease with a high recurrence rate after surgery. This study aimed to construct and validate a machine learning-based predictive model to predict the risk of postoperative recurrence of pediatric CRS and to identify potential biomarkers.

Methods

One hundred and fifteen pediatric patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery were included. The dataset was divided into training and testing sets (7:3 ratio). Demographic characteristics and laboratory data of were collected and used as features in the predictive models. Eight machine learning algorithms, including Random forest (RF), were applied to construct predictive models. Feature selection was performed, and hyperparameters were optimized using a grid search with 10-fold cross-validation. Model performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and F1 score.

Results

The Random Forest model performed best in predicting the postoperative recurrence of CRS in children, with AUC of 0.830. Feature selection analyses showed that metabolic markers, such as DBIL, Glu, and TBIL, had an important role in predicting CRS recurrence. In the test set, the AUC of the RF model reached 0.864 and an F1 score of 0.9, showing good stability and generalization ability.

Conclusion

In this study, we successfully constructed a model to predict the postoperative recurrence of pediatric CRS. The predictive model indicated that key metabolites were significantly associated with disease outcomes, and individualized management of postoperative pediatric CRS.
