    Abstract: We identify chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) manifestations associated with how rhinologists assess CRS control, with a focus on patient perspectives (patient‐reported CRS control). Methods Fifteen rhinologists were provided with real‐world data from 200 CRS patients. Participating rhinologists first classified patients’ CRS control as “controlled,” “partly controlled,” and “uncontrolled” using seven CRS manifestations reflecting European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) CRS control criteria (nasal obstruction, drainage, impaired smell, facial pain/pressure, sleep disturbance, use of systemic antibiotics/corticosteroids in past 6 months, and nasal endoscopy findings) and patient‐reported CRS control. They then classified patients’ CRS control without knowledge of patient‐reported CRS control. Interrater reliability and agreement of rhinologist‐assessed CRS control with patient‐reported CRS control and EPOS guidelines were determined. Results CRS control classification with and without knowledge of patient‐reported CRS control was highly consistent across rhinologists ( κ w  = 0.758). Rhinologist‐assessed CRS control agreed with patient‐reported CRS control significantly better when rhinologists had knowledge of patient‐reported CRS control ( κ w  = 0.736 vs. κ w  = 0.554, p   〈  0.001). Patient‐reported CRS control, nasal obstruction, drainage, and endoscopy findings were most strongly associated with rhinologists’ assessment of CRS control. Rhinologists’ CRS control assessments weakly agreed with EPOS CRS control guidelines with ( κ w  = 0.529) and without ( κ w  = 0.538) patient‐reported CRS control. Rhinologists classified CRS as more controlled than EPOS guidelines in almost 50% of cases. Conclusions This study directly demonstrates the importance of patient‐reported CRS control as a dominant influence on rhinologists’ CRS control assessment. Knowledge of patient‐reported CRS control may better align rhinologists’ CRS control assessments and treatment decisions with patients’ perspectives.

    Abstract: A patient‐reported history of penicillin allergy is a common label with a prevalence of about 10%. However, as many as 95% of patients reporting a penicillin allergy do not have a true immunoglobin‐E (IgE)‐mediated allergic reaction. Unfortunately, penicillin allergy mislabeling is problematic, leading to inappropriate antibiotic use and negative consequences, such as adverse drug events, suboptimal outcomes, and increased costs. As physicians who treat patients of all ages for common sinonasal pathology in the clinic and operating room in addition to frequently providing testing and management of allergic diseases, rhinologists are well positioned to aid in delabeling patients with inaccurate penicillin allergies. This viewpoint highlights the consequences of inaccurate penicillin allergy designation in the clinic and perioperative period and explores misconceptions regarding cross‐reactivity between penicillins and cephalosporins. Opportunities are explored for shared decision‐making with colleagues in other specialties, such as anesthesiology, and practical recommendations are provided to aid rhinologists when faced with a patient who holds a questionable history of penicillin allergy. Rhinologists can play an active role in delabeling patients with inaccurate penicillin allergies with the goal of ensuring appropriate antibiotic use for future medical encounters.

    Abstract: To develop a clinical consensus statement on the use of sinus ostial dilation (SOD) of the paranasal sinuses. Methods An expert panel of otolaryngologists was assembled to represent general otolaryngology and relevant subspecialty societies. The target population is adults 18 years or older with chronic or recurrent rhinosinusitis (with or without nasal polyps, with or without prior sinus surgery) for whom SOD is being recommended, defined as endoscopic use of a balloon device to enlarge or open the outflow tracts of the maxillary, frontal, or sphenoid sinuses, as a standalone procedure or with endoscopic surgery. A modified Delphi method was used to distill expert opinion into clinical statements that met a standardized definition of consensus. Results After 3 iterative Delphi method surveys, 13 statements met the standardized definition of consensus while 45 statements did not. The clinical statements were grouped into 3 categories for presentation and discussion: (1) patient criteria, (2) perioperative considerations, and (3) outcomes. Strong consensus was obtained for not performing SOD in patients without sinonasal symptoms or positive findings on computed tomography (CT) in patients with symptoms only of headache or sleep apnea without criteria for sinusitis. In addition, strong consensus was met that CT scan of the sinuses was necessary before performing SOD and that surgeons need to understand and abide by regulations set forth by the US Food and Drug Administration if they choose to reuse/reprocess devices. Conclusion Expert panel consensus may provide helpful information for the otolaryngologist considering the use of SOD for the management of patients with a diagnosis of rhinosinusitis. This panel reached consensus on a number of statements that defined the use of SOD as inappropriate in the management of a variety of symptoms or diseases in the absence of underlying sinusitis. When patients meet the definition of chronic sinusitis as confirmed by CT scan, SOD of the sinuses can be indicated and/or effective in certain scenarios. Additional consensus statements regarding proper setting and safeguards for performing the procedure are described.

    Abstract: Standardized diagnostic criteria for Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction (ETD) have not been established. The purpose of this study was to characterize the relationship between ET inflammation and ETD symptoms and to determine the diagnostic performance of a quantitative score. Methods Patients were enrolled in a rhinology clinic between October 2018 and June 2019. Patients underwent nasal endoscopy and completed the 7‐item Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ‐7). Nasopharyngeal inflammation identified on endoscopy was quantified using the Endoscopic Evaluation of the Eustachian Tube (3ET) score. Tympanometry was performed as indicated. Comorbid conditions were assigned during the patient encounter. Results A total of 414 patients were included in the study. Patients with clinically significant ETD symptoms (ETDQ‐7 ≥2.1) had higher 3ET scores than those without symptoms. A 1‐point increase in 3ET score was associated with a 1.7‐fold increase in odds of clinically significant ETD symptoms (adjusted OR [aOR], 1.72; 95% CI, 1.46 to 2.05). The 3ET scores were correlated with ETDQ‐7 scores ( ρ  = 0.54) and 22‐item Sino‐Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT‐22) scores ( ρ  = 0.52). 3ET scores were not associated with tympanometric peak pressures. Patients with ETD symptoms were more likely to have laryngopharyngeal reflux (aOR, 2.71; 95% CI, 1.24 to 6.18). A 3ET score of 4 predicted symptomatic state in 80% of cases with a specificity of 97.8% and positive predictive value of 96.6%. Conclusion Inflammatory findings at the nasopharyngeal ET orifice are associated with clinically significant ETD symptoms. The 3ET score is specific for a symptomatic state and has potential clinical utility in the evaluation of suspected ETD. ©2021 ARSAAOA, LLC.

    Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness of neuromodulating agents for the management of atypical facial pain and primary facial neuralgias. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases for original research articles that examine the effectiveness and adverse reactions of pharmacologic therapy for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and atypical facial pain. Studies that included surgical interventions for atypical facial pain or facial pain secondary to other causes were excluded. Meta‐analysis was conducted for reductions in symptom scores and adverse effects. Results Of 3,409 articles screened, 73 full‐text articles were included, consisting of 45 observational studies and 29 randomized controlled trials. Twenty‐four different pharmacological agents were assessed; carbamazepine was the most frequently studied while botulinum toxin A demonstrated the highest consistency in reduction of symptom scores. Pooled estimate of three randomized controlled trials revealed that patients with trigeminal neuralgia who received botulinum toxin A had higher odds (odds ratio 7.46; 95% CI 3.53–15.78) of achieving a ≥50% reduction in visual analogue scale scores compared to controls. Pooled estimate of 15 observational studies showed that three‐fourths of patients with trigeminal neuralgia who received carbamazepine experienced clinically significant pain reduction (prevalence proportion 0.75; 95% CI 0.66–0.83). Conclusions Patients receiving botulinum toxin A for trigeminal neuralgia had higher odds of achieving ≥50% reduction in pain scores. A significant proportion of patients with trigeminal neuralgia experienced positive response to carbamazepine. There was moderate evidence for amitriptyline in patients with atypical facial pain. Standardization of outcome reporting would facilitate future quantitative comparisons of therapeutic effectiveness. Laryngoscope , 131:1235–1253, 2021

    Abstract: The utility of clinician‐applied instruments, particularly the Lund‐Mackay score, in the assessment of paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains incompletely defined. The purpose of this study was to determine if a new approach to the evaluation of sinus CT could accurately predict the extent of opacification while remaining simple for clinician use. Methods Twenty‐four sinus CT scans were measured for the percent of sinus opacification using three‐dimensional (3D) volumetric analyses. The same scans were also evaluated using the Lund‐Mackay score to measure opacification and the Assessment of Pneumatization of the Paranasal Sinuses (APPS) score to measure total sinus volume (TSV). Correlation analysis was performed for the Lund‐Mackay to APPS score ratio as a predictor of percent opacification. Validation analysis was also performed to determine the optimal orientation for Lund‐Mackay scoring, which has not previously been described. Results The Lund‐Mackay to APPS score ratio was very strongly correlated with the percentage of sinus opacification measured by 3D volumetric analysis ( r = 0.862, r 2 = 0.743, p 〈 0.001). Lund‐Mackay scoring was not statistically different between axial‐only, coronal‐only, or triplanar groups for interrater ( p = 0.379) and intrarater reliability ( p = 0.312). Conclusion The Lund‐Mackay score is validated for rater reliability in multiple orientations. Using the APPS score as a measure of TSV, the Lund‐Mackay‐to‐APPS ratio very strongly correlates with the percentage of sinus opacification by 3D volumetric analysis. Further study will be required to determine if this ratio is predictive of symptom severity.

    Abstract: Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a variable combination of individual procedures. Cost estimates for ESS as a single entity have wide variation, likely influenced by variation in procedures performed. We sought to identify operative time, supply costs, and total procedure cost specific to the component procedure combinations comprising ESS. Methods Bilateral ESS cases at 13 Intermountain Healthcare facilities (2008 to 2016) were identified from a database with corresponding cost and time data. Procedure details were obtained by chart review. Least‐squares (LS) means of cost (in 2016 US dollars) and time for specific procedures were obtained by multivariable gamma regression models. Results Among 1477 bilateral ESS cases with 19 different procedure combinations, operative time ranged from 59.5 (95% confidence interval [CI], 48.6‐73.0) minutes for total ethmoid to 147.1 (95% CI, 126.4‐171.2) minutes for full ESS with maxillary and sphenoid tissue removal. Sphenoidotomy had lowest total and supply costs (in US dollars) of $2112 (95% CI, $1672‐$2667) and $636 (95% CI, $389‐$1040), respectively. Total cost was highest for full ESS with maxillary tissue removal at $4640 (95% CI, $4115‐$5232). Supply cost was highest for full ESS with maxillary and sphenoid tissue removal at $2191 (95% CI, $1649‐$2909). Conclusion Operative time and costs for ESS vary depending on the procedures performed, demonstrating the importance of procedure specificity in assessment of ESS time, cost, and, ultimately, value. These procedure‐specific estimates of cost enable nonbinary valuation of ESS, appropriate for the multitude of procedure options intended to optimize individual outcomes.

    Abstract: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been hypothesized as a risk factor for development of laryngeal cancer. A case‐control study was performed to assess the association of laryngeal neoplasia with GERD. Cases consisted of patients with a history of laryngeal cancer or carcinoma in situ. Controls were patients without neoplasia who matched cases 2:1 on age, sex, race, and smoking history. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess risk of laryngeal neoplasia and GERD. In total, 2094 patients were included. Cases had higher rates of GERD. Univariate analysis demonstrated a positive association between GERD and laryngeal neoplasia (odds ratio, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.07‐1.64). Multivariate analysis controlling for alcohol use history also demonstrated a positive association between GERD and laryngeal neoplasia (adjusted odds ratio, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.04‐1.59). These results suggest increased odds of laryngeal carcinoma and carcinoma in situ in patients with GERD when controlling for smoking and drinking history.

    Abstract: To characterize the relationship between objective tympanogram values and patient‐reported symptoms and associations with common comorbid conditions. Study Design Cross‐sectional study with prospective data collection. Setting Tertiary medical center. Methods Patients undergoing routine audiometric evaluation between October 2018 and June 2019 were included. Participants with temporomandibular joint dysfunction, inner ear hydrops, and similar conditions were excluded. Symptoms were assessed with the 7‐item Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire. Demographics and medical comorbidities were recorded from the medical record. Analysis of tympanometric peak pressure (TPP), demographics, and comorbidities was performed to determine associations with clinically significant eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) symptoms. Results A total of 250 patients were included with similar demographics: 101 (40.4%) in the asymptomatic group and 149 (59.6%) in the symptomatic group. The median (interquartile range) TPP was –10 (20) daPa and –25 (100) daPa in the asymptomatic and symptomatic groups, respectively. A diagnosis of rhinitis was more likely to be associated with significant ETD symptoms (adjusted odds ratio, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.23‐5.63). A subgroup analysis revealed that symptomatic patients with normal TPP values were negatively skewed as compared with asymptomatic patients. This symptomatic group had a higher prevalence of rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis than the asymptomatic group. Conclusion Patients with symptoms of ETD may have a TPP within a range typically considered normal per conventional standards. This suggests that the currently accepted interpretation of tympanometry findings may be insensitive for the diagnosis of less severe cases of ETD.
