Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Assessment of the Validity of the Sinonasal Outcomes Test-22 in Pituitary Surgery: A Multicenter Prospective Trial.
Sinonasal Outcomes Test-22 (SNOT-22) is used widely as a patient-reported sinonasal quality-of-life (QOL) instrument for endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery. However, it has never been validated in this population. This study explores the psychometric validity of SNOT-22 to determine if it is a valid scale in patients undergoing endoscopic pituitary surgery. ⋯ 2 Laryngoscope, 131:E2757-E2763, 2021.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Virtual Reality as Distraction Analgesia and Anxiolysis for Pediatric Otolaryngology Procedures.
While virtual reality (VR) has been used as analgesia and anxiolysis for invasive procedures, no literature exists on the use of VR in the pediatric otolaryngology setting. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of VR in reducing pain and anxiety for pediatric otolaryngology patients. ⋯ 2. Laryngoscope, 131:E1714-E1721, 2021.
