Article Abstract
Background: Previous research has demonstrated disparities in access to care for patients with facial fractures. This study aimed to assess potential disparities in timing to nasal bone repositioning among hospitalized patients who received treatment.
Methods: Data from the 2017-2022 American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program (ACS-TQIP) and the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision codes (ICD-10) were used. The time to nasal bone repositioning was analyzed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.
Results: We analyzed data from 14,815 adult patients with traumatic nasal bone fractures who underwent repositioning during their index hospitalization. Within ten days of the initial presentation, 95 % of the patients underwent nasal repositioning. Black (HR = 0.90; CI = 0.85-0.95) and Asian (HR = 0.80; CI = 0.70-0.93) race, older age, private insurance (HR = 0.95; CI = 0.91-0.99), high Injury Severity Scores (ISS) (ISS 25+: HR = 0.33; CI = 0.31-0.35), specific injury mechanisms, facial fractures, and certain comorbidities were associated with statistically significantly longer times to repositioning. Treatment at a Level II trauma center (HR = 1.11; CI = 1.06-1.15), interfacility transfers (HR = 1.12; CI = 1.08-1.16), and open facial wounds were linked to statistically significantly shorter times to intervention.
Conclusion: In this large ACS-TQIP sample, most patients who did undergo nasal bone repositioning received it within the standard of care, with only minor timing variations based on demographic and geographic factors. In cases with higher injury severity, life-threatening injuries were prioritized before addressing nasal bone fractures. Further research should investigate initial care-access inequities in patients who experienced facial trauma but did not receive comprehensive care.

Background: Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the middle ear; it is frequently associated with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. Although biologics have been used to treat EOM, their efficacy based on clinical characteristics remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of biologics and analyzed the clinical factors that influenced outcomes.

Introduction Accurate imaging of nasal bone fractures is essential for proper diagnosis and management. Traditional methods such as lateral cephalograms and standard radiographs often suffer from limitations in resolution and positioning accuracy. This study introduces and evaluates a novel radiographic technique, that is, NASO-RVG (NR), utilizing radiovisiography (RVG) in combination with a portable X-ray unit for the improved visualization of nasal bone structures.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the radiological measurements of patients who underwent rhinoplasty using a piezo device with those of patients who underwent rhinoplasty using a classical osteotome.
Methods: A total of 60 patients were included in the study: 30 rhinoplasty patients who underwent piezosurgical osteotomy and 30 who underwent classical osteotomy. Preoperative and postoperative functional and aesthetic outcomes were compared using NOSE and ROE scores.

This retrospective study aims to evaluate paranasal computed tomography (CT) scans that were previously obtained as part of routine preoperative assessment in patients who underwent rhinoplasty for aesthetic purposes, focusing on the prevalence of sinonasal anatomic variations and high septal deviations in cases without nasal axis deformity. The study included 274 patients who underwent rhinoplasty for aesthetic reasons. Preoperative CT images of the patients were evaluated in axial slices with a thickness of 0.
