Abstract
BACKGROUND Salivary gland cancers (SGC)-social determinants of health (SDoH) investigations are limited by narrow scopes of SGC-types and SDoH. This Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)-study hypothesized that socioeconomic status (SES) most contributed to SDoH-associated SGC-disparities. METHODS Retrospective cohort of 24 775 SGCs assessed SES, minority-language status (ML), household composition (HH), housing-transportation (HT), and composite-SDoH measured by the SVI via regressions with surveillance and survival length, late-staging presentation, and treatment (surgery, radio-, chemotherapy) receipt. RESULTS Increasing social vulnerability showed decreases in surveillance/survival; increased odds of advanced-presenting-stage (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.07, 1.17), chemotherapy receipt (OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.23); decreased odds of primary surgery (0.89, 0.84, 0.94), radiotherapy (0.91, 0.85, 0.97, p = 0.003) for SGCs. Trends were differentially correlated with SES, ML, HH, and HT-vulnerabilities. CONCLUSIONS Through quantifying SDoH-derived SGC-disparities, the SVI can guide targeted initiatives against SDoH that elicit the most detrimental associations for specific sociodemographics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the sialendoscopy findings associated with positive findings on minor salivary gland biopsy. STUDY DESIGN Single-center retrospective study. METHODS Patients ≥18 years old who underwent sialendoscopy from 2016 to 2022 and were evaluated for SS via labial minor salivary gland biopsy. Biopsy positive and negative patients were compared on the primary outcome measure of sialendoscopy findings. Data were abstracted from the sialendoscopy operative notes and included involved gland, location of ductal pathology, and the presence of scarring, stenosis, mucus plugs, webs, and dilations. Additional characteristics included demographics, presenting symptoms, caffeine or tobacco, use of drying medications, and need for additional treatments. RESULTS The final cohorts included 22 biopsy positive and 21 biopsy negative patients with a total of 42 glands in the biopsy positive and 37 glands in the biopsy negative groups. Biopsy positive patients were found to require dilation at the hilum and distal duct at significantly higher rates than biopsy negative patients (p < 0.0001). However, there was no statistical difference in scarring, stenosis severity, mucus, webs, or dilations between each group. CONCLUSION The outcomes of this study suggest that there are no distinct sialendoscopy findings associated with biopsy positive patients. The presence of significant distal stenosis on sialendoscopy may be associated with positive minor salivary biopsy. Other endoscopic parameters are likely more consistent with non-specific chronic sialadenitis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 134:1183-1189, 2024.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is a previously validated, concise, patient-friendly questionnaire used to determine the impact of oral diseases on patient quality of life. The present study seeks to examine the outcomes of a modified Salivary-OHIP (S-OHIP) survey in patients with chronic salivary disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective cohort of 67 patients with chronic salivary disorders and a control group of 16 patients undergoing septoplasty were surveyed using the modified Salivary-OHIP (S-OHIP) before surgery and six weeks following operative intervention. Additional factors analyzed included age, gender, etiology of salivary disease, general quality of life using the EQ-5D-5L, and general salivary symptoms. RESULTS There was no difference between treatment and control groups with respect to age or gender. There was a significant difference between the groups regarding change in S-OHIP scores before and after surgery (p < 0.01). Salivary patients had a significant decrease in S-OHIP scores indicating improved salivary quality of life (p < 0.01), with a mean decrease in score of 9.5. The control group showed no change in S-OHIP score (p = 0.47). CONCLUSION The S-OHIP allows for a specific, targeted survey of salivary symptoms and is a useful, patient-friendly tool to quantify symptomatic changes in patients with chronic salivary disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a less invasive option offered for the treatment of large, compressive, benign thyroid nodules. METHODS Observational studies of more than five participants using HIFU in the management of benign thyroid nodules from 2000 to 2021 were identified using predefined inclusion criteria. The primary outcome was an estimate of the effectiveness of HIFU. RESULTS Out of 158 studies reviewed, 8 articles were included with 297 patients and 300 nodules. HIFU significantly reduced nodule volume from 1 to 24 months following therapy (weighted mean difference [WMD], 47.68, 95 % confidence interval [CI], 34.13-59.66, p < 0.0001) and achieved favorable success rates (risk ratio [RR], 1.49, 95 % CI, 1.15-1.84, p < 0.001) for 50 % volume reduction. CONCLUSIONS HIFU appears to be a feasible, safe, and effective treatment modality for patients with benign thyroid nodules. Future research, including randomized controlled trials, is needed to determine therapy optimization, and patient selection to identify the potential role of this new therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Abstract
Importance Evidence is lacking from randomized clinical trials of hypoglossal nerve stimulation in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of targeted hypoglossal nerve stimulation (THN) of the proximal hypoglossal nerve in patients with OSA. Design, Setting, and Participants This randomized clinical trial (THN3) was conducted at 20 centers and included 138 patients with moderate to severe OSA with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 20 to 65 events per hour and body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 35 or less. The trial was conducted from May 2015 through June 2018. Data were analyzed from January 2022 through January 2023. Intervention Implant with THN system; randomized 2:1 to activation at month 1 (treatment) or month 4 (control). All received 11 months of THN with follow-up at months 12 and 15, respectively. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary effectiveness end points comprised AHI and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) responder rates (RRs). Treatment responses at months 4 and 12/15 were defined as a 50% or greater reduction in AHI to 20 or less per hour and an ODI decrease of 25% or greater. Coprimary end points comprised (1) month 4 AHI and ODI RR in the treatment greater than the control group and (2) month 12/15 AHI and ODI RR in the entire cohort exceeding 50%. Secondary end points included sleep apnea severity (AHI and ODI) and patient-reported outcomes (Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire, and EQ-5D visual analog scale). Results Among 138 participants, the mean (SD) age was 56 (9) years, and 19 (13.8%) were women. Month 4 THN RRs were substantially greater in those in the treatment vs control group (AHI, 52.3% vs 19.6%; ODI, 62.5% vs 41.3%, respectively) with treatment-control standardized mean differences of 0.725 (95% CI, 0.360-1.163) and 0.434 (95% CI, 0.070-0.843) for AHI and ODI RRs, respectively. Months 12/15 RRs were 42.5% and 60.4% for AHI and ODI, respectively. Improvements in AHI, ODI, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire, and EQ-5D visual analog scale scores were all clinically meaningful (medium to large effect size). Two serious adverse events and 100 nonserious related adverse events were observed from the implant procedure or study protocol. Conclusions and Relevance This randomized clinical trial found that THN demonstrated improvements in sleep apnea, sleepiness, and quality of life in patients with OSAs over an extended AHI and body mass index range without prior knowledge of pharyngeal collapse pattern. Clinically meaningful improvements in AHI and patient-reported responses compared favorably with those of distal hypoglossal nerve stimulation trials, although clinically meaningful differences were not definitive for ODI. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02263859.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an expert consensus statement (ECS) on the management of dysphagia in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients to address controversies and offer opportunities for quality improvement. Dysphagia in HNC was defined as swallowing impairment in patients with cancers of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, or hypopharynx. METHODS Development group members with expertise in dysphagia followed established guidelines for developing ECS. A professional search strategist systematically reviewed the literature, and the best available evidence was used to compose consensus statements targeted at providers managing dysphagia in adult HNC populations. The development group prioritized topics where there was significant practice variation and topics that would improve the quality of HNC patient care if consensus were possible. RESULTS The development group identified 60 candidate consensus statements, based on 75 initial proposed topics and questions, that focused on addressing the following high yield topics: (1) risk factors, (2) screening, (3) evaluation, (4) prevention, (5) interventions, and (6) surveillance. After 2 iterations of the Delphi survey and the removal of duplicative statements, 48 statements met the standardized definition for consensus; 12 statements were designated as no consensus. CONCLUSION Expert consensus was achieved for 48 statements pertaining to risk factors, screening, evaluation, prevention, intervention, and surveillance for dysphagia in HNC patients. Clinicians can use these statements to improve quality of care, inform policy and protocols, and appreciate areas where there is no consensus. Future research, ideally randomized controlled trials, is warranted to address additional controversies related to dysphagia in HNC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Second medical opinions (SMO) can improve patient outcomes and change medical decision-making. The purpose was to determine the concordance of initial management of thyroid nodules for patients seeking SMO to established management guidelines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cases of patients consulting a single provider via telemedicine for SMO on the workup and management of thyroid nodule(s) were reviewed from September 2011 to February 2022. The primary outcome was the overall rate of adherence to 2015 ATA guidelines (correct/incorrect) and complete agreement (yes/no) between SMO and initial treatment team. RESULTS Most sought a second opinion for treatment options. Only 14 (29.2 %) cases had followed all the guidelines correctly. Living in North America compared to Asia (10/18 vs. 4/25, p = 0.004) and consulting endocrinology (11/21 vs. 3/26, p = 0.004) was associated with correct following of all guidelines. The most common violations of the guidelines were a lack of Bethesda scoring in pathology reports (31.8 %) and inappropriate initial FNA (25.5 %). The SMO was in complete agreement with the initial treatment recommendation in 31 cases (64.6 %), in partial agreement in 12 cases (25 %), and in disagreement in 5 cases (10.4 %). CONCLUSIONS In our study, adherence to guidelines was low. However, the SMO agreed with the workup and management of most patients, as most of this discordance with guidelines did not affect the overall treatment. The virtual second opinion consult was valuable in addressing patient-specific concerns, explaining additional treatment options, and, in a few cases, recommending against inappropriate surgical intervention.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, decreased quality of life, and cardiovascular disease. Positive airway pressure is the first-line therapy for OSA; however, adherence is difficult. Upper airway stimulation is a Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment of OSA. The objective of this study was to evaluate for a difference in treatment efficacy and adherence of upper airway stimulation therapy for OSA between individuals who are White and non-White using data from the ADHERE registry. METHODS ADHERE registry is a multicenter prospective study of real-world experience of upper airway stimulation for treatment of OSA in the United States and Europe. Propensity score matching was used to create a balanced dataset between the White and non-White groups. t-Tests at a significance level of 5% were used to compare numeric values between groups. RESULTS There were 2,755 participants of the ADHERE registry: 27 were excluded due to not having a race identified, 125 participants identified as non-White, 2,603 identify as White, and 27 did not provide race information. Propensity score matching was used to select 110 participants, with 55 White and 55 non-White for the noninferiority analysis. We did not find a difference in adherence, treatment apnea-hypopnea index, changes in Epworth Sleepiness Scale score, or clinical global impression after intervention score between White and non-White individuals. CONCLUSIONS Our study found that there was no statistically significant difference in adherence or efficacy with upper airway stimulation therapy between White and non-White individuals. However, the percent of non-White people implanted is low, which suggests a need to expand access to this therapy for non-White populations with OSA who cannot tolerate positive airway pressure therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
THN3 was the first reported parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS), wherein targeted HGNS (THN) was shown to be safe and efficacious at ameliorating sleep disordered breathing in selected patients with moderate to severe OSA and BMI≤35kg/m2 without screening with drug-induced sleep endoscopy. A secondary THN3 objective was to identify baseline characteristics which enhance therapeutic response.
Methods
Predictors of long-term (Month 12/15) apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) response (reduction ≥50% to ≤20/hr) were identified in stages. Baseline characteristics, including polysomnography parameters, were screened one at a time using univariate logistic regression. Variables significant at α=0.25 were further selected using stepwise multivariate logistic regression. Candidate predictors were then optimized by manual, incremental threshold adjustment to maximize AHI response rate (RR). Optimized predictors were ranked according to the AHI RR and size of the corresponding subpopulation, with a goal of capturing at least 40% of the overall THN3 cohort.
Results
Baseline sleep efficiency (SE) in the normal range (>85%) achieved the highest AHI RR while retaining 42% (58/138) of the THN3 cohort. Similar to the overall study population, subgroup subjects were predominantly middle-aged (age 54±7 years), male (83%), Caucasian (86%) and overweight/obese (BMI 30±3 kg/m2). Short-term (Month 4) AHI RRs in the Treatment and Control groups were 59.5% and 20.0%, respectively, with long-term AHI RR at 50.9%. Median AHI was reduced from 35.1 to 16.0, as compared to 29.3 to 9.0 in the STAR trial of distal HGNS. ODI RRs (reduction ≥25%) for Treatment and Control were respectively 73.0% and 30.0% at Month 4 and 64.9% at Month12/15. Enhanced response carried through to larger point estimates for improvement in secondary variables, including the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire, exceeding minimum clinically important differences thresholds of 2-3 and 1.7-2.0, respectively.
Conclusion
Normal SE at Baseline was associated with enhanced AHI and ODI RR as well as patient-reported outcome measures for patients receiving THN therapy, providing results similar to those obtained with distal HGNS. Future studies, including the ongoing OSPREY trial, will be needed to prospectively validate these findings.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
THN3 was the first reported parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial (RCT) of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS), wherein targeted HGNS (THN) was shown to be safe and efficacious at ameliorating sleep disordered breathing in patients with moderate to severe OSA and BMI≤35kg/m2 without screening with drug-induced sleep endoscopy. Unique among reported HGNS trials, separate cohorts of patients receiving early and late THN were followed longitudinally.
Methods
Measurements of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) were available Pre-enrollment, Baseline (2 nights), Month 4 and Month 12/15. Except for Pre-enrollment, AHI values were calculated by an independent core laboratory from polysomnographic recordings. All subjects with complete data were included for analysis. AHI trajectories were constructed for early and late THN activation (Treatment[T], N=83, Month 1 and Control[C], N=45, Month 4, respectively) by computing median values. Confidence intervals were calculated by bootstrapping each median (N=30,000). Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were treated similarly.
Results
AHI (Median (95% CI)) trajectories demonstrated a consistent pattern of pre-implant alignment (Pre-enrollment T:39.1 (36.0-45.0), C:38.0 (32.0-41.0); Baseline 1 T:36.1 (33.0-39.9), C:31.3 (27.2-38.6); Baseline 2 T:37.0 (34.3-41.0), C:35.2 (32.3-38.2)), divergence at the conclusion of the randomization period (Month 4 T:15.6 (11.9-25.3), C:30.6 (23.7-38.6)) and reconvergence following 11 months of treatment (Month 12/15 T:20.7 (16.0-26.4), C:18.1 (16.3-23.3)). Non-standardized Pre-enrollment AHI was slightly higher than Baseline values. Trajectories were similar for oxygen desaturation index (Baseline 1 T:35.3 (31.9-38.0),C:34.3 (27.5-40.3); Baseline 2 T:37.1 (33.4-39.3),C:36.8 (33.9-38.3); Month 4 T:19.5 (16.2-28.5), C:33.8 (25.4-41.1); Month 12/15 T:19.5 (16.0-25.6), C:19.7 (16.3-26.0)), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (Baseline T:11.0 (10.0-13.0),C:11.5 (8.5-14.0); Month 4 T:6.0 (5.0-7.0), C:11.5 (8.0-12.5); Month 12/15 T:6.0 (4.0-7.0), C:5.5 (4.5-6.0)), the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (Baseline T:15.3 (14.0-16.5),C:14.7 (13.3-16.6); Month 4 T:18.3 (17.7-18.8), C:16.7 (14.9-17.7); Month 12/15 T:18.8 (18.3-19.3), C:18.5 (17.5-19.5)) and the Snore Outcomes Survey (Baseline T:26.6 (21.9-31.3),C:21.9 (18.8-31.3); Month 4 T:60.9 (56.3-67.9), C:29.7 (23.4-42.9); Month 12/15 T:62.5 (59.4-68.8), C:68.8 (62.5-71.9)).
Conclusion
Group trajectories of sleep-disordered breathing and PROMs further demonstrate the robust effects of THN in patients with moderate to severe OSA and the value of parallel-arm RCTs. Similar results may be expected in the ongoing OSPREY confirmatory trial of THN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastases to the parotid nodal basin in patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (HRcSCC) impact disease specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS). METHODS A writing group convened by the Salivary Section of the American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) developed contemporary, evidence-based recommendations regarding management of the parotid nodal basin in HRcSCC based on available literature, expert consultation, and collective experience. The statements and recommendations were then submitted and approved by the AHNS Salivary Committee. RESULTS These recommendations were developed given the wide variation of practitioners who treat HRcSCC in order to streamline management of the parotid nodal basin including indications for imaging, surgery, radiation, and systemic treatment options as well. CONCLUSIONS This clinical update represents contemporary optimal management of the parotid nodal basin in HRcSCC and is endorsed by the Salivary Section of the AHNS.

Abstract
Objective Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is a rare disease that may adversely affect normal development and quality of life. The objective of this study was to report on the demographics, characteristics, and treatment outcomes of JRP and to offer evidence-based management recommendations. Study Design Retrospective review. Setting A single tertiary care pediatric teaching hospital. Methods Medical records, imaging studies, and laboratory findings over a 10-year period were retrospectively collected and reviewed, resulting in 41 patients with JRP between the ages of 8 months and 16 years. Results Black males aged 2 to 8 years were most commonly affected by JRP. Overall, 18 (44%) patients received ≥3 antibiotics, and 17 (42%) underwent sialendoscopy for treatment. Over 75% of patients had no JRP recurrences after 3 sialendoscopies. The most common imaging approach was computed tomography (42%), and the most frequent laboratory results were elevated amylase (83%) and C-reactive protein (82%). Atopy (61%) and excess weight (42%) were routinely associated with JRP, especially in severe cases. Conclusion JRP workup and treatment plans should begin with the least burdening modalities, including over-the-counter analgesics, minimal laboratory studies in the acute phase, and ultrasonography over computed tomography. Clindamycin is an effective initial antibiotic of choice, and severe recurrences may be controlled with sialendoscopy. Optimizing the health of patients with JRP includes managing comorbidities, especially of atopic and overweight origins, which are associated with more severe cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of porcine submucosal allograft (Biodesign Sinonasal Repair Graft [Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN]) in oral cavity and oropharynx reconstruction after ablative surgery. METHODS We conducted a prospective and retrospective review of patients who underwent Biodesign Sinonasal Repair Graft reconstruction for oral and oropharyngeal surgical defects at a single institution between 2018 and 2020. A total of 11 patients were included in the study. Data points included their perioperative medical and demographic data, immediate postoperative course, and follow-up visits at 10 days and at 2 months. The clinicopathologic characteristics of their disease, postoperative esthetic, and functional outcomes were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Eleven procedures have been performed, and all patients received Biodesign reconstruction either immediately after ablation or after they failed a previous reconstruction. None of the patients had bone exposure. The subsites included oral tongue (n = 6), floor of the mouth (n = 3), buccal mucosa (n = 1), and soft palate (n = 1). In all cases, the operations and the postoperative course were uneventful. The mean defect size was 22 cm2. The median start of oral intake was at 2 days postoperatively. The Biodesign graft healed well in all patients with no total graft loss. There was one complication that required revision surgery due to obstruction of Wharton's duct by the Biodesign material. CONCLUSIONS Biodesign can be a viable option for small and medium-sized oral and oropharyngeal defects in patients who are medically unfit or do not want to undergo a free flap surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS For patients with submandibular sialolithiasis, there are many gland-preserving treatment options including sialendoscopy. Sialendoscopy, however, requires expensive instrumentation with limited availability, which may not be required for routine cases. The objective of this study is to compare the outcomes of patients with submandibular sialolithiasis undergoing sialendoscopy versus those undergoing transoral incisional sialithotomy. STUDY DESIGN Longitudinal, prospective study of patient undergoing gland-preserving therapy for submandibular sialolithiasis. METHODS The study was a prospective, nonrandomized trial of 30 patients with submandibular sialolithiasis who received gland-preserving treatment by either sialendoscopy-assisted techniques (Scope group; 14 patients) or transoral sialithotomy with or without dochoplasty (No Scope group; 16 patients). Factors analyzed between the two groups included age, race, gender, size of stone, location of stone, gland(s) involved, surgical method, and modified salivary Oral Health Impact Profile (sOHIP) scores before and after therapy. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the Scope and No Scope groups regarding age, race, or gender. There was a significant difference in stone size between the groups, with the No Scope group having larger stones on average. Both treatments led to statistically significant symptomatic improvement in sOHIP scores. There was no statistically significant difference in salivary quality of life improvement between the Scope and No Scope groups (P = .33). CONCLUSIONS Sialendoscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of salivary disorders, but is not associated with improved outcomes in gland-preserving treatments for routine submandibular sialolithiasis. Transoral stone removal alone may have equivalent symptomatic outcomes in the management of select sialoliths. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III Laryngoscope, 2021.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to examine differences in therapy usage and outcomes of therapy between responder (R) and nonresponder (NR) groups in an international, multicenter prospective registry of patients undergoing hypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). STUDY DESIGN Database analysis (level III). SETTING International, multicenter registry. METHODS The studied registry prospectively collects data pre- and postimplantation, including sleep parameters, Epworth score, patient experience, and safety questions, over the course of 12 months. Patients are defined as a "responder" based on Sher criteria, which require a final apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of ≤20 and a final AHI reduction of >50% at their 12-month follow-up. RESULTS Overall, there were 497 (69%) R and 220 (31%) NR. Most patients in both groups experienced improvement in quality of life following implantation (96% of R; 77% of NR) with reductions in oxygen desaturation index and Epworth score. At final follow-up, the R group demonstrated significantly better adherence to recommended therapy (>4 hours/night) (P = .001), average hours of nightly use (P = .001), final Epworth scores (P = .001), and degree of subjective improvement (P < .001). CONCLUSION Patients classified as NR to upper airway stimulation continue to use therapy with improvement in percent time of sleep with O2 <90%, reduction in daytime sleepiness, and improvement in quality of life. Therefore, ongoing usage of the device should be encouraged in NR patients who note improvement while integrating additional strategies to lower the long-term effects of OSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy is the accepted standard for treatment of advanced oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC); however, alternative evidence suggests that definitive (chemo)radiotherapy may have similar outcomes. METHODS Systematic review was performed to assess the therapeutic value of radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy as a primary modality for treating OCSCC. Meta-analysis of outcomes was performed between articles comparing radiotherapy and primary surgical treatment. RESULTS Meta-analysis showed less favorable results of radiotherapy compared to surgery: overall survival at 3-years (odds ratio [OR] = 0.51; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.34-0.77) and 5-years (OR = 0.42; 95% CI = 0.29-0.60); disease-specific survival at 3-years (OR = 0.55; 95% CI = 0.32-0.96) and 5-years (OR = 0.55; 95% CI = 0.32-0.96). Odds of feeding tube dependency were higher in primary radiotherapy group (OR = 2.67; 95% CI = 1.27-5.64). CONCLUSIONS Results of this study support the current perspective favoring primary surgical treatment for OCSCC in the absence of surgical contraindications.

Abstract
Sialoendoscopy is a valuable technique for a variety of obstructive and nonobstructive disorders of the major salivary glands. However, the utility of sialoscopes is limited for salivary stones, which frequently required open removal. Transoral sialolithotomy without scopes is an efficient, low-cost alternative with excellent outcomes available for most of the submandibular stones.

Abstract
Duct scar in the form of stenoses or stricture is the second leading cause of obstructive sialadenitis after stone. Over the past decade, there has been a growing experience demonstrating the effectiveness of endoscopic techniques in the minimally invasive management of salivary duct stenosis. Less information, however, is available with regard to open approaches for recurrent or complex ductal stenoses. This article reports on a case of gland preservation using an open ductal technique that originally was applied in cases of traumatic Stensen's duct injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the impact of dental care on head and neck (H&N) cancer survival. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed, MEDLINE, and CINAHL to find all relevant studies from the date of inception to March 2020. Systematic review was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, and meta-analysis was performed using the random effects logistic regression model. Primary outcomes of interest were 5-year survival and hazard ratios comparing survival between dental care subgroups. RESULTS H&N cancer survival rates strongly correlate with dental care adherence. Patients with good dental care had significantly better survival than patients with poor dental care (HR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.55-0.83), with similar improved survival among patients with moderate versus poor dental care (HR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.57-0.80). In addition, patients with good dental care had significantly decreased mortality than those with moderate dental care (HR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.69-0.96), indicating an exposure-response gradient. CONCLUSIONS For patients with H&N cancer, survival is significantly higher in those who receive recommended dental care compared with those who do not. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE N/A Laryngoscope, 2021.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study is a systematic review of the literature which seeks to estimate the expected treatment outcomes of a patient with Sjogren's syndrome (SS) undergoing therapeutic sialendoscopy. STUDY DESIGN Systematic Review. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library databases were used to search for studies published as of August 2020 regarding the treatment outcomes of SS with sialendoscopy. The key search terms included "Sjogren's syndrome" and "sialendoscopy." Only studies in the English language involving more than one human patient were included. PRISMA guidelines were followed in study inclusion and data extraction. The primary outcome assessed was improvement in patient symptoms. RESULTS Six studies met criteria and were analyzed in this review, including 125 patients undergoing sialendoscopy of parotid and/or submandibular glands as well as 25 controls. Of these patients, 90% were female with an age range of 18 to 79 years. There was significant diversity in outcome reporting tools. The outcomes of symptom improvement were pooled qualitatively based on improvement noted in each study. Outcomes were defined as partial improvement if the measured outcomes improved and complete improvement if measured outcomes resolved entirely. Despite the limited number of studies on this topic, this meta-analysis suggests that a similar study of therapeutic sialendoscopy could expect to provide at least temporary improvement of symptoms 90% to 99% of the time. CONCLUSIONS This review provides support for the application of sialendoscopy in the treatment of SS salivary disease. Larger studies with consistent outcome reporting tools and control groups are needed to validate these results and provide a consistent therapy protocol. Laryngoscope, 131:1474-1481, 2021.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sickle cell disease (SCD) represent two complex disease processes. Current guidelines recommend that children with SCD receive polysomnography (PSG) after presenting with signs or symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Recent studies suggest a disproportionately elevated prevalence of SDB in the population of children with SCD, and traditional risk factors may not be evident within these patients. Further objective testing might be needed to screen all pediatric patients with SCD, even in the absence of overt signs or symptoms of OSA to prevent complications of both conditions. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Institutional review board approval was obtained. An eight-question OSA risk assessment screening questionnaire was presented prospectively to 100 consecutive patients with SCD in the pediatric hematology clinic regardless of complaints of SDB. RESULTS Out of 100 patients, 51 were female. The average age, body mass index (BMI), BMI percentile, and I'M SLEEPY score of the entire cohort were 3.97 years, 15.97%, 55.4%, and 1.63%, respectively. Nineteen patients had a positive sleep apnea screening score and were referred for PSG. The average age BMI, BMI percentile, and I'M SLEEPY score for those 19 patients were 3.77%, 16.67%, 65%, and 3.95%, respectively. Ten patients completed PSG, with seven diagnosed with OSA. CONCLUSIONS This pilot study demonstrates a higher incidence of SDB and OSA in children with SCD relative to the general pediatric population. Although more PSG reports and further testing is needed to determine whether the results hold, preliminary data indicate that children with SCD should at least undergo OSA screening in the office regardless of overt symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the effectiveness of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) versus plasma ablation (PA) in tongue base reduction surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). DATA SOURCES PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, OVID. REVIEW METHODS Keywords searched included OSA, tongue base surgery, TORS, and coblation. Outcomes included pre- to postoperative apnea-hypopnea index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and lowest oxygen saturation. Additional outcomes included surgical success rate, postoperative bleeding, operative time, and length of stay. RESULTS A total of 690 unique articles were identified, of which 60 underwent full-text review. Twenty-six articles were included in final analysis, comprising 18 studies on TORS (834 patients) and 11 studies on PA (294 patients). Mean differences of apnea-hypopnea index, ESS, and lowest oxygen saturation for TORS were -23.92, -7.6, and 5.83% (all P < .01). Corresponding values for PA were -22.07, -4.14, and 5.48% (all P < .00001). TORS had greater ESS reduction than PA (P = .02). Follow-up duration was shorter in TORS than PA (mean ± SD: 4.2 ± 2.6 vs 4.6 ± 1.4 months, P = .0482). Surgical success rates in TORS and PA were similar (57.6% vs 60.3%, P = .4474). Postoperative bleeding occurred less frequently in TORS versus PA (3.3% vs 7.5%, P = .0103). Operative time was longer for TORS than PA (77.9 ± 16.4 minutes vs 44.0 ± 12.9 minutes, P < .0001). Length of stay was similar between TORS and PA (3.9 ± 1.6 days vs 3.9 ± 2.5 days, P = .9047). CONCLUSION Tongue base reduction with TORS or PA each effectively treats OSA and provides comparable results. The choice between techniques might depend on patient factors, availability of technology, and associated costs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the effect of drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) on intra-operative decision making during pediatric sleep surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on pediatric (3-17 years) patients with moderate-to-severe OSA (7.2-71.8) who underwent drug induced sleep endoscopy at the time of initial sleep surgery. The characteristics evaluated included age, race, gender, site of obstruction, type of surgical intervention, pre- and post-operative apnea and hypopnea index. Of the 26 patients that were identified, 18 had both a pre- and post-operative polysomnograms result. RESULTS All patients underwent DISE immediately prior to surgical treatment. The mean pre-operative AHI for the 18 patients with post-operative polysomnogram results was 21.3 (7.2-71.8). The mean post-operative AHI for the 18 patients was 7.6 (0.7-25.1). There was a significant difference between pre- and post-operative AHI (p < 0.001). Of the 26 patients, the most common area of collapse was the soft palate, occurring in 17/26 (65.4%) patients. Base of tongue involvement was found to be present in 11/26 (42.3%) patients, and the epiglottis was involved in 4/26 (15.4%). Evidence of multilevel collapse was observed in 6/26 (23.1%) patients. Patients observed to have palatal collapse underwent a pharyngoplasty (20/26; 76.9%) at the time of adenotonsillectomy. Three (11.5%) patients underwent a tongue reduction. CONCLUSION This study provides additional evidence that DISE can affect intra-operative decision making, with the potential for improved post-operative outcomes. A randomized controlled study is needed to determine if these outcomes are better than what can be achieved without DISE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of palatal foreshortening and stiffening in reducing snoring severity in nonobstructive sleep apnea (non-OSA) patients complaining of chronic disruptive snoring. METHODS In a US-based 8-center, open-label, prospective, single-arm cohort study, 52 consenting adults with chronic disruptive snoring (snoring impacting a patient's life and causing patient or bed partner to seek medical intervention) were treated via office-based placement of resorbable, bidirectional, barbed suture implants into the soft palate under local anesthesia. Prior to intervention, home sleep tests (HSTs) were performed to rule out OSA and to document snoring noise level. Both subject and their bed/sleep partners (also consented) completed questionnaires including: bed/sleep partner's scored visual analog scale (VAS) for subjects' snoring severity, and subject scoring for Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Following intervention, HSTs, VAS, ESS and PSQI were repeated at 30, 90 and 180 days. RESULTS Mean baseline bed/sleep partner VAS was 7.81 ± 1.59. Mean postimplant VAS scores decreased significantly at each measured interval; to 5.77±2.35 (P < .001) at 30 days, 4.48 ± 1.81 (P < .001) at 90 days, and 5.40 ± 2.28 (P < .001) at 180 days. Post treatment improvements in daytime sleepiness and QOL were also observed. Two partial extrusions were reported. No further adverse events were identified. CONCLUSION The current study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the Elevoplasty procedure in reducing snoring severity over a follow-up period of 6 months. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2b.

Abstract
None In recent years, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been recognized as a prevalent but under-diagnosed condition in adults and has prompted the need for new and better diagnostic and therapeutic options. To facilitate the development and availability of innovative, safe and effective SDB medical device technologies for patients in the United States, the US Food and Drug Administration collaborated with six SDB-related professional societies and a consumer advocacy organization to convene a public workshop focused on clinical investigations of SDB devices. Sleep medicine experts discussed appropriate definitions of terms used in the diagnosis and treatment of SDB, the use of home sleep testing versus polysomnography, clinical trial design issues in studying SDB devices, and current and future trends in digital health technologies for diagnosis and monitoring SDB. The panel's breadth of clinical expertise and experience across medical specialties provided useful and important insights regarding clinical trial designs for SDB devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between findings of blinded reviews of preoperative drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) examinations using the VOTE Classification and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) surgical outcomes in a large multicenter, international cohort. METHODS Retrospective, multi-center cohort study of adults without tonsillar hypertrophy who underwent pharyngeal surgery for OSA. The study included only participants without enlarged tonsils. Four independent reviewers performed blinded review of preoperative DISE videos using the VOTE Classification system and scoring of a primary structure contributing to airway obstruction. DISE findings were examined for an association with surgical outcomes with univariate analyses and multiple regression. RESULTS Two hundred seventy-five study participants were included from 14 centers. Mean age was 51.4 ± 11.8 years, and body mass index was 30.1 ± 5.2 kg/m2 . There was moderate interrater reliability (kappa = 0.40-0.60) for DISE findings. Oropharyngeal lateral wall-related obstruction was associated with poorer surgical outcomes (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 0.51; 95% CI 0.27, 0.93). Complete tongue-related obstruction was associated with a lower odds of surgical response in moderate to severe OSA (AOR 0.52; 95% CI 0.28, 0.98), with findings that were similar but not statistically significant in other analyses. Surgical outcomes were not clearly associated with the degree and configuration of velum-related obstruction or the degree of epiglottis-related obstruction. Surgical response was associated with tonsil size and body mass index (inversely). CONCLUSION DISE findings concerning the oropharyngeal lateral walls and tongue may be the most important findings of this evaluation technique. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2B Laryngoscope, 129:761-770, 2019.

Abstract
Objective To present 5-year outcomes from a prospective cohort of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who were treated with upper airway stimulation (UAS) via a unilateral hypoglossal nerve implant. Study Design A multicenter prospective cohort study. Setting Industry-supported multicenter academic and clinical trial. Methods From a cohort of 126 patients, 97 completed protocol, and 71 consented to a voluntary polysomnogram. Those having continuous positive airway pressure failure with moderate to severe OSA, body mass index <32 kg/m2, and no unfavorable collapse on drug-induced sleep endoscopy were enrolled in a phase 3 trial. Prospective outcomes included apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index, and adverse events, as well as measures of sleepiness, quality of life, and snoring. Results Patients who did and did not complete the protocol differed in baseline AHI, oxygen desaturation index, and Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire scores but not in any other demographics or treatment response measures. Improvement in sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) and quality of life was observed, with normalization of scores increasing from 33% to 78% and 15% to 67%, respectively. AHI response rate (AHI <20 events per hour and >50% reduction) was 75% (n = 71). When a last observation carried forward analysis was applied, the responder rate was 63% at 5 years. Serious device-related events all related to lead/device adjustments were reported in 6% of patients. Conclusions Improvements in sleepiness, quality of life, and respiratory outcomes are observed with 5 years of UAS. Serious adverse events are uncommon. UAS is a nonanatomic surgical treatment with long-term benefit for individuals with moderate to severe OSA who have failed nasal continuous positive airway pressure.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence, duration, and predictors of swallowing-related symptoms following upper airway surgery for obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS Adults (age 18 years or older) who underwent surgery for obstructive sleep apnea at a tertiary care institution from January 2012 to December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. The incidence, duration, and associated factors of postoperative swallowing complaints were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 130 patients (135 surgical encounters) met criteria for inclusion. There were 91 men (70.0%) and 39 women (30.0%) with a median age of 60 years (range: 19-79). Presurgical diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease was present in 57 patients (43.8%). An average of 2.1 procedures (± 0.8) were conducted at each encounter. Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (54.8%) was the most common followed by radiofrequency ablation of the soft palate (34.8%) and tongue base (29.6%). Postoperatively, 25 patients (19.8%) complained of dysphagia, 14 (10.9%) of globus, and 9 (6.7%) of odynophagia. Preoperative gastroesophageal reflux (odds ratio [OR] 4.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.41-11.91) and hyoid myotomy with suspension (OR 4.88, 95% CI 1.34-17.77) were significant predictors for dysphagia. Radiofrequency ablation of the tongue base (OR 5.00, 95% CI 1.28-19.50) was a predictor for globus sensation. Median symptom durations, in months, were 4.0 for dysphagia, 7.3 for globus, and 3.0 for odynophagia. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative gastroesophageal reflux and hyoid myotomy with suspension procedure were associated with postoperative dysphagia whereas radiofrequency ablation of the tongue base was associated with globus. These findings can assist surgeons in providing preoperative counseling and postoperative supportive measures regarding dysphagic symptoms following sleep surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this clinical review was to analyze the effectiveness of nonsurgical management options for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated parotid cysts. METHODS We conducted systematic and meta-analysis reviews. Primary outcomes were complete or partial responses. RESULTS Systematic review identified 12 relevant studies. The average rates of complete response for antiretroviral therapy (ART), sclerotherapy, and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) were 52.8%, 55.5%, and 33.3%, respectively. Three radiotherapy studies, totaling 104 patients, were included in a meta-analysis. Patients receiving high-dose therapy achieved complete and partial response rates of 65.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 54.3%-76.2%) and 25.2% (95% CI 16.1%-36.3%), respectively. Patients receiving low-dose therapy achieved complete and partial response rates of 23.2% (95% CI 1.2%-60.9%) and 22.3% (95% CI 5.2%-87.8%), respectively. The rate of complete response was significantly greater for high-dose radiotherapy compared to low-dose (P < .001). CONCLUSION Among nonsurgical treatment modalities for HIV-associated parotid cysts, radiotherapy has the highest number of reported outcomes in the literature and our analysis suggests that higher dose radiotherapy has higher rates of achieving complete response.

Abstract
Objective To determine the level of agreement among experienced operators of candidacy for upper airway stimulation (UAS) based on evaluation of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). Methods The trial was designed as a single-blinded cross-sectional study. Four otolaryngologists with extensive DISE experience were given 63 video clips from the STAR trial video library. These videos were graded using the VOTE classification. Percentage agreement and Cohen’s κ (for inter-rater reliability) were calculated between pairs of reviewers, assessing palatal complete concentric collapse (CCC) and determining UAS eligibility. Subjects were also grouped based on collapse severity for each reviewer. Results The reviewers had excellent (approximately 90%) agreement on findings at the level of the soft palate and tongue base. The inter-rater reliability for palatal CCC ranged from moderate to substantial. The agreement on determining the criteria for UAS implantation ranged from poor to moderate. All 4 upper airway structures as classified by the criteria of the VOTE were graded by all the reviewers as contributing to obstruction in a majority of subjects who were performed via application of DISE. Conclusion Application of DISE remains a subjective examination, even among those experienced operators, therefore more studies need to be performed for evaluation of improvement in inter-rater reliability after implantation of training videos.

Importance The clinical implications of extracapsular dissection over superficial parotidectomy are controversial and limited in data on cost-effectiveness. Objective To compare extracapsular dissection with superficial parotidectomy for benign parotid tumors with respect to surgical outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Design, Setting, and Participants This was a retrospective medical record review and cost-effectiveness analysis performed from August 2012 to November 2015 at a tertiary care institution. Adult patients (age ≥18 years) who underwent parotidectomy for benign parotid lesions were included. Exposures Treatment by extracapsular dissection or superficial parotidectomy. Main Outcomes and Measures Differences in postoperative complication rates and health services outcomes, including procedure time, anesthesia time, length of stay, and charges for surgeon, anesthesia, operating room, and hospital. Results A total of 46 parotidectomies consisting of 26 extracapsular dissections and 20 superficial parotidectomies met criteria. Of the 46 patients, 33 were women. Patient ages ranged from 18 to 83 years. Lesion features were similar between groups with most being pleomorphic adenoma. Procedure time (effect size, -1.31; 95% CI, -1.93 to -0.65), anesthesia time (effect size, -1.37; 95% CI, -1.99 to -0.70), and length of stay (effect size, -0.66; 95% CI, -1.25 to -0.05) were significantly shorter for extracapsular dissection compared with superficial parotidectomy. Moreover, anesthesia (effect size, -1.55; 95% CI, -2.19 to -0.86), operating room (effect size, -1.09; 95% CI, -1.69 to -0.45), and total hospital charges (effect size, -1.13; 95% CI, -1.74 to -0.49) were significantly less for extracapsular dissection while remaining charges, including surgeon, showed no difference. Finally, facial nerve weakness, great auricular nerve dysesthesia, and other relevant postoperative complications were comparable between groups. Conclusions and Relevance In the hands of an experienced surgeon, extracapsular dissection is a shorter, less costly, and equally safe alternative to traditional superficial parotidectomy when treating benign parotid lesions. Further follow-up is needed to ensure these perceived advantages are maintained over time.

Abstract
Objective Neck masses are common in adults, but often the underlying etiology is not easily identifiable. While infections cause most of the neck masses in children, most persistent neck masses in adults are neoplasms. Malignant neoplasms far exceed any other etiology of adult neck mass. Importantly, an asymptomatic neck mass may be the initial or only clinically apparent manifestation of head and neck cancer, such as squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), lymphoma, thyroid, or salivary gland cancer. Evidence suggests that a neck mass in the adult patient should be considered malignant until proven otherwise. Timely diagnosis of a neck mass due to metastatic HNSCC is paramount because delayed diagnosis directly affects tumor stage and worsens prognosis. Unfortunately, despite substantial advances in testing modalities over the last few decades, diagnostic delays are common. Currently, there is only 1 evidence-based clinical practice guideline to assist clinicians in evaluating an adult with a neck mass. Additionally, much of the available information is fragmented, disorganized, or focused on specific etiologies. In addition, although there is literature related to the diagnostic accuracy of individual tests, there is little guidance about rational sequencing of tests in the course of clinical care. This guideline strives to bring a coherent, evidence-based, multidisciplinary perspective to the evaluation of the neck mass with the intention to facilitate prompt diagnosis and enhance patient outcomes. Purpose The primary purpose of this guideline is to promote the efficient, effective, and accurate diagnostic workup of neck masses to ensure that adults with potentially malignant disease receive prompt diagnosis and intervention to optimize outcomes. Specific goals include reducing delays in diagnosis of HNSCC; promoting appropriate testing, including imaging, pathologic evaluation, and empiric medical therapies; reducing inappropriate testing; and promoting appropriate physical examination when cancer is suspected. The target patient for this guideline is anyone ≥18 years old with a neck mass. The target clinician for this guideline is anyone who may be the first clinician whom a patient with a neck mass encounters. This includes clinicians in primary care, dentistry, and emergency medicine, as well as pathologists and radiologists who have a role in diagnosing neck masses. This guideline does not apply to children. This guideline addresses the initial broad differential diagnosis of a neck mass in an adult. However, the intention is only to assist the clinician with a basic understanding of the broad array of possible entities. The intention is not to direct management of a neck mass known to originate from thyroid, salivary gland, mandibular, or dental pathology as management recommendations for these etiologies already exist. This guideline also does not address the subsequent management of specific pathologic entities, as treatment recommendations for benign and malignant neck masses can be found elsewhere. Instead, this guideline is restricted to addressing the appropriate work-up of an adult patient with a neck mass that may be malignant in order to expedite diagnosis and referral to a head and neck cancer specialist. The Guideline Development Group sought to craft a set of actionable statements relevant to diagnostic decisions made by a clinician in the workup of an adult patient with a neck mass. Furthermore, where possible, the Guideline Development Group incorporated evidence to promote high-quality and cost-effective care. Action Statements The development group made a strong recommendation that clinicians should order a neck computed tomography (or magnetic resonance imaging) with contrast for patients with a neck mass deemed at increased risk for malignancy. The development group made the following recommendations: (1) Clinicians should identify patients with a neck mass who are at increased risk for malignancy because the patient lacks a history of infectious etiology and the mass has been present for ≥2 weeks without significant fluctuation or the mass is of uncertain duration. (2) Clinicians should identify patients with a neck mass who are at increased risk for malignancy based on ≥1 of these physical examination characteristics: fixation to adjacent tissues, firm consistency, size >1.5 cm, or ulceration of overlying skin. (3) Clinicians should conduct an initial history and physical examination for patients with a neck mass to identify those with other suspicious findings that represent an increased risk for malignancy. (4) For patients with a neck mass who are not at increased risk for malignancy, clinicians or their designees should advise patients of criteria that would trigger the need for additional evaluation. Clinicians or their designees should also document a plan for follow-up to assess resolution or final diagnosis. (5) For patients with a neck mass who are deemed at increased risk for malignancy, clinicians or their designees should explain to the patient the significance of being at increased risk and explain any recommended diagnostic tests. (6) Clinicians should perform, or refer the patient to a clinician who can perform, a targeted physical examination (including visualizing the mucosa of the larynx, base of tongue, and pharynx) for patients with a neck mass deemed at increased risk for malignancy. (7) Clinicians should perform fine-needle aspiration (FNA) instead of open biopsy, or refer the patient to someone who can perform FNA, for patients with a neck mass deemed at increased risk for malignancy when the diagnosis of the neck mass remains uncertain. (8) For patients with a neck mass deemed at increased risk for malignancy, clinicians should continue evaluation of patients with a cystic neck mass, as determined by FNA or imaging studies, until a diagnosis is obtained and should not assume that the mass is benign. (9) Clinicians should obtain additional ancillary tests based on the patient's history and physical examination when a patient with a neck mass is deemed at increased risk for malignancy who does not have a diagnosis after FNA and imaging. (10) Clinicians should recommend evaluation of the upper aerodigestive tract under anesthesia, before open biopsy, for patients with a neck mass deemed at increased risk for malignancy and without a diagnosis or primary site identified with FNA, imaging, and/or ancillary tests. The development group recommended against clinicians routinely prescribing antibiotic therapy for patients with a neck mass unless there are signs and symptoms of bacterial infection.

Abstract
Objectives Analyze the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment history in a group of participants who enrolled in a hypoglossal nerve stimulation trial. Methods Moderate-severe OSA patients with difficulty adhering to CPAP presented for enrollment in a multicenter trial. Self-reported history on prior OSA medical therapy was collected at enrollment, including OSA diagnosis date, CPAP start and stop dates, oral appliance trial, and reasons for discontinuation or non-adherence. Results The cohort consisted of 929 participants, 83% male, with a mean age (53.9 ± 10.5) years. Ninety percent (n = 835) had complete CPAP information including 47% (n = 435) who discontinued therapy prior to enrollment and 43% (n = 400) who were still attempting CPAP but had inadequate adherence. Abandonment rates were 60% at 1-year, 73% at 3-years, and 86% at 5-years. Oral appliance therapy was attempted by 171 patients for mean (1.8 ± 2.3) years, with 81% abandonment at 1 year, 89% at 3-years, and 94% at 5-years. Conclusions In this CPAP-refractory cohort, high rates of CPAP abandonment were reported in the first several years with approximately half of the participants not receiving any treatment despite being diagnosed for >5 years. Close clinical follow-up and consideration of alternative treatment options is indicated in all OSA patients in order to ensure adequate longitudinal care.

Abstract
Objective Determine the effects of hyoid myotomy and suspension (HMS) without concurrent palatal or tongue base sleep surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Method Patients with OSA treated with HMS were identified using CPT code (21685) at an academic and private sleep surgery clinic. Those who underwent concurrent palatal or tongue base sleep surgery were excluded. Outcomes included simultaneous procedures, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), lowest oxyhemoglobin saturation (LSAT), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Results Nineteen patients with OSA underwent HMS without palatal or tongue base sleep surgery. The average age at surgery was (55.3 ± 13.5) years with a majority of patients being male (71%). Concurrent procedures included the following: torus mandibularis excision (n = 1), endoscopic sinus surgery (n = 4), septoplasty (n = 10), inferior turbinate reduction (n = 12), and nasal valve repair (n = 2). AHI improved significantly from (39.7 ± 21.2) events/h to (22.6 ± 22.7) events/h after HMS (P < 0.01), which represented a 43% reduction. LSAT significantly increased from (82.2% ± 9.9%) to (86.6% ± 6.2%), P < 0.01. There was no improvement in ESS after surgery (8.2 ± 4.4) to (8.3 ± 5.2), P = 0.904. A subset of patients with severe OSA (AHI > 30 events/h) had an improvement in AHI from (49.9 ± 16.6) events/h to (29.1 ± 24.9) events/h, P < 0.01. Conclusion HMS without palatal or tongue base sleep surgery improves OSA severity. It can be considered as a valid option in the treatment of OSA in appropriately-selected patients.

Abstract
Objectives We determined the effectiveness of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) paste in vocal rehabilitation. Methods We examined a retrospective case series of 39 adult patients who underwent CaHA paste injection for vocal fold rehabilitation over a 5-year period. The outcomes included the change in the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) score; procedure-related complications; and the need for follow-up voice procedures. Results The VHI scores demonstrated overall improvement, with a decrease from the preoperative mean of 61.2 ± 24.0 to a postoperative mean of 35.9 ± 26.3 (p = 0.0001) after a mean follow-up time of 17.8 ± 13.6 months. The procedure was more likely to succeed in patients with paralysis and/or paresis than in patients with glottic soft tissue defects. After injection, the VHI scores worsened in 3 of 7 patients (43%) in the soft tissue defect group, compared to only 2 of 28 (7%) in the paralysis and/or paresis group (p = 0.04). Four of 7 patients with soft tissue defects (57%) required secondary vocal procedures to improve the voice, compared to only 2 of 32 (6%) in the paralysis and/or paresis group (p = 0.006). Conclusions Injection of CaHA paste results in significantly improved vocal scores in the majority of patients. Use of the paste was less satisfactory in patients with soft tissue defects because of poor retention of the paste in the scarred vocal fold remnant.

Abstract
Objective To assess patient-based outcomes of participants in a large cohort study-the STAR trial (Stimulation Therapy for Apnea Reduction)-48 months after implantation with an upper airway stimulation system for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. Study Design A multicenter prospective cohort study. Setting Industry-supported multicenter academic and clinical setting. Subjects Participants (n = 91) at 48 months from a cohort of 126 implanted participants. Methods A total of 126 participants received an implanted upper airway stimulation system in a prospective phase III trial. Patient-reported outcomes at 48 months, including Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ), and snoring level, were compared with preimplantation baseline. Results A total of 91 subjects completed the 48-month visit. Daytime sleepiness as measured by ESS was significantly reduced ( P = .01), and sleep-related quality of life as measured by FOSQ significantly improved ( P = .01) when compared with baseline. Soft to no snoring was reported by 85% of bed partners. Two patients required additional surgery without complication for lead malfunction. Conclusion Upper airway stimulation maintained a sustained benefit on patient-reported outcomes (ESS, FOSQ, snoring) at 48 months in select patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term (24-mo) effect of cranial nerve upper airway stimulation (UAS) therapy on patient-centered obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) outcome measures. METHODS Prospective, multicenter, cohort study of 126 patients with moderate to severe OSA who had difficulty adhering to positive pressure therapy and received the surgically implanted UAS system. Outcomes were measured at baseline and postoperatively at 12 mo and 24 mo, and included self- and bedpartner-report of snoring intensity, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ). Additional analysis included FOSQ subscales, FOSQ-10, and treatment effect size. RESULTS Significant improvement in mean FOSQ score was observed from baseline (14.3) to 12 mo (17.3), and the effect was maintained at 24 mo (17.2). Similar improvements and maintenance of effect were seen with all FOSQ subscales and FOSQ-10. Subjective daytime sleepiness, as measured by mean ESS, improved significantly from baseline (11.6) to 12 mo (7.0) and 24 mo (7.1). Self-reported snoring severity showed increased percentage of "no" or "soft" snoring from 22% at baseline to 88% at 12 mo and 91% at 24 mo. UAS demonstrated large effect size (> 0.8) at 12 and 24 mo for overall ESS and FOSQ measures, and the effect size compared favorably to previously published effect size with other sleep apnea treatments. CONCLUSIONS In a selected group of patients with moderate to severe OSA and body mass index ≤ 32 kg/m2, hypoglossal cranial nerve stimulation therapy can provide significant improvement in important sleep related quality-of-life outcome measures and the effect is maintained across a 2-y follow-up period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Examine outcomes of transfacial gland-preserving removal of difficult parotid stones and compare the cost and operative time to traditional parotidectomy. STUDY DESIGN Cost-effectiveness analysis and retrospective chart review. METHODS Patients who underwent transfacial removal of symptomatic parotid sialoliths at a tertiary medical center from June 2010 to July 2015 were evaluated. Outcomes included operative technique, stone size, stone location, complications, and symptom relief. In addition, patients who underwent traditional parotidectomy for chronic sialadenitis were identified. The charges and times for both procedures were reviewed and compared. RESULTS Forty-four patients underwent transfacial resection for symptomatic parotid sialolithiasis. Stones were most often located in the main duct and hilum (53.3%), with fewer intraglandular stones (46.7%). No facial nerve weakness was observed. Of those with follow-up, 33 (87%) patients reported at least partial resolution of symptoms. Overall transfacial technique charges were significantly less expensive (U.S.$) than parotidectomy (mean difference -8,064.09; 95% confidence interval [CI] -13,472.78 to -2,655.40; P = 0.033). Anesthesia charges (mean difference -2,997.85; 95% CI, -5,748.81 to -246.89; P = 0.035) and operating room charges (mean difference -4,793.91; 95% CI, -8,958.09 to -629.72; P = 0.028) were also less expensive for the transfacial technique. Finally, mean procedure time for transfacial removal of parotid stones was shorter than for parotidectomy (120.2 ± 49.9 vs. 178.4 ± 41.3 minutes, respectively; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Transfacial gland-preserving removal of difficult parotid stones is a well tolerated and effective alternative to parotidectomy. Moreover, it is faster and less expensive than parotidectomy, maximizing both surgeon time and hospital resources. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4. Laryngoscope, 127:1080-1086, 2017.
