All three search engines yielded 23 (96%) Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited neurotology fellowship websites. Searching "Neurotology fellowships" in Google, Yahoo,...
Although most neurotology fellowship programs have websites or ANSPIP data sheets, many of them lack information that has been previously demonstrated to be valued by applicants. Furthermore, incongru...
To establish the level of evidence and publishing trends in otology-specific journals over a 20-year period....
Retrospective analysis....
The three O/N specific journals with the highest Eigenfactor scores were identified. All articles published in the years 1998, 2008, and 2018 were reviewed and level of evidence (LoE) based on standar...
A total of 1,062 studies were published over 20 years, of these 809 (76.2%) were eligible for inclusion in the present study. The average number of publications per year increased over time. The avera...
Over the past two decades there has been an overall increase in the quantity and quality (as measured by LoE) of publications in O/N-specific journals. In general, quality of O/N studies is slightly b...
Due to the microscopic nature of otologic surgery, photographic image quality suffers from an inherent inability to maintain all the planes of surgery in focus under binocular microscopy. Our goal was...
The study was a proof of concept performed with series of cases including patients undergoing transmastoid and transcanal otologic surgery over time period of December 1, 2018 to March 1, 2019 at an a...
We created a systematic protocol for capturing images of multiple focal lengths during each surgery. With the image-editing technique of focus-stacking, multiple images of varying focal length, were s...
Subjective comparisons of pre and post photo-edited photographs....
Composite, focus-stacked images with comparison to unedited microscopic pictures are reviewed in the manuscript....
We describe a simple and objectively practical method for improving the quality of medical imaging in the field of Otology/Neurotology. To achieve this enhanced image quality, a relatively expeditious...
To identify trends in the quality of otology studies published in general otolaryngology journals over a 20-year period....
Retrospective analysis....
Otologic and neurotologic papers from 1997, 2007, and 2017 were identified in the three general otolaryngology journals with the highest Eigenfactor scores: the Laryngoscope, European Archives of Otor...
A total of 786 otology articles were reviewed for level of evidence, of which 557 (70.8%) were original, clinical research, eligible for LoE assignation. Total publications increased for each year in ...
Over a 20-year period the number of total publications increased with time. The majority of otology publications in 2017 were lower evidence studies, though significant increases in the number and pro...
To assess otology and neurotology authorship by gender, subject, and country of origin from 2000 to 2019....
Retrospective review of otology and neurotology publications in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2019 from 10 prominent journals within otolaryngology....
Demographics for first through third and final authors, including gender, degree, coauthorship, as well as number of authors, subject matter, and region of origin for each publication....
A total of 4,411 neurotology articles published in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2019 were analyzed. During the study period, the proportion of female authors increased from 22.3% in 2000 to 33.9% in 20...
Female authorship in otology and neurotology has increased globally. With the predominant number of articles originating from North America, and articles originating from North America failing to demo...
There is no comprehensive study exploring gender distribution within only the specialty of otology and neurotology. While it is known that more women are becoming otolaryngologists, it is unknown if t...
To understand if gender biases and/or differences exist within otology and neurotology publications....
Identify trends in otology and neurotology publications to address particular barriers to female publication within the field....
It has been revealed that the pure-tone audiometry demonstrates large air-bone gaps at low pitches due to the presence of inner ear fistulae. When a third mobile window resulting from an inner ear fis...
Dizziness is a common condition that accounts for an estimated 5% of primary care clinic visits. The differential diagnosis is extensive, which may involve the inner ear, central and peripheral nervou...
To investigate the first year of the tertiary MDC neurotology clinic....
Retrospective cohort of all patients examined at the tertiary MDC....
The first 123 consecutive patients (62% women) aged 56 years on average (19-85years, ±16) seen in the MDC from October 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021 are reported. Prior to assessment, 79 (64%) patients ...
A tertiary neurotology clinic of a multidisciplinary team can provide proper care in persistent dizziness and/or unclear diagnosis. Vestibular physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the management of a...
Obstructive sleep apnea is a highly prevalent disorder often treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). CPAP transmits high pressures through the Eustachian tube, and has significant imp...
To gain an understanding of the current state of practice with regards to postoperative CPAP management in patients undergoing middle ear, stapes, cochlear implant, and lateral skull base surgeries....
An electronic survey was sent to all members of the American Neurotology Society via email....
The survey was completed by 54 neurotologists. Duration of postoperative CPAP limitation had similar distribution for surgery of the middle ear, stapes, and skull base: fewer surgeons recommend immedi...
Current neurotology practice varies widely concerning CPAP management after otologic and neurotologic surgeries, both with regard to duration of CPAP abstinence and in rationale for its limitation....
