Cost‐Utility Analysis of Intracapsular and Extracapsular Techniques for Pediatric Tonsillectomy
Intracapsular coblation tonsillectomy (ICT) is more cost‐effective than extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECT) in pediatric patients, particularly for ambulatory procedures. In a prospective cohort of over 5000 cases, ICT was associated with lower costs and comparable or better quality‐adjusted life years, even when accounting for potential revision ...

Long‐Term Cost Utility Analysis of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Analysis of 5‐Year Outcomes
This study utilizes a cohort‐style Markov decision tree economic model to evaluate the long‐term (5‐year) cost‐effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery versus medical management for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The results show that the endoscopic sinus surgery strategy cost more ($63,296.27) but yielded increased quality‐adjusted life years (

Impact of Obesity on the Structured Histopathology of Chronic Rhinosinusitis Patients
ABSTRACT Objectives Obesity is an established risk factor for asthma, which shares common inflammatory pathways with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, the link between obesity and CRS remains poorly understood. By identifying trends in the structured histopathology (SHP) of obese patients with CRS, we aim to better understand how changes in the ...

Orbital Complications of Acute Rhinosinusitis in Adulthood: Predictors of Outcome and Management
In a multicenter cohort of 213 adults with orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis, 68% required surgery and the modified Chandler classification was the strongest predictor of treatment modality. While abscess‐related and type II complications frequently necessitated surgical management, final ophthalmologic outcomes were uniformly favorable ...
