    Coronavirus Disease-19 and Otology/Neurotology

    • Esther X. Vivas
    Otolaryngologic Clinics of North AmericaVol. 53Issue 6p1153
    Published online: August 22, 2020
    The severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2, responsible for the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, has caused unprecedented changes to society as we know it. The effects have been particularly palpable in the practice of medicine. The field of otolaryngology has not been spared. We have had to significantly alter the way we provide care to patients, changes that are likely to become a new norm for the foreseeable future. This article highlights some of the changes as they apply to otology/neurotology. Although this is written from the perspective of an academic physician, it is also applicable to private practice colleagues.

    Risk Factors for Severity in Children with Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Comprehensive Literature Review

      Tsabouri et al.
    Pediatric ClinicsVol. 68Issue 1p321
    Published online: July 30, 2020
    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected hundreds of thousands of people. The authors performed a comprehensive literature review to identify the underlying mechanisms and risk factors for severe COVID-19 in children. Children have accounted for 1.7% to 2% of the diagnosed cases of COVID-19. They often have milder disease than adults, and child deaths have been rare. The documented risk factors for severe disease in children are young age and underlying comorbidities. It is unclear whether male gender and certain laboratory and imaging findings are also risk factors. Reports on other potential factors have not been published.

    Measuring the Serologic Response to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2: Methods and Meaning

      Pecora et al.
    Clinics in Laboratory MedicineVol. 40Issue 4p603
    Published online: August 8, 2020
    The entire spectrum of diagnostic testing, from reagent supply to test performance, has been a major focus during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The hope for serologic testing is that it will provide both epidemiologic information about seroprevalence as well as individual information about previous infection. This information is particularly helpful for high-risk individuals who may be outside of the viral shedding window, such as children with suspected multisystem inflammatory syndrome. It is not yet understood whether serologic testing can be interpreted in terms of protective immunity. These concerns must be addressed using highly sensitive and specific tests.

    Safety of Surgical Telehealth in the Outpatient and Inpatient Setting

      Purnell et al.
    Surgical ClinicsVol. 101Issue 1p109
    Published online: November 2, 2020
    New telehealth platforms and interventions have proliferated over the past decade and will be further spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. Emerging literature examines the efficacy and safety of these interventions. Early pilot studies and trials demonstrate equivalent outcomes of telehealth interventions that seek to replace routine postoperative care in low-risk patients who have undergone low-risk surgeries. Studies are underway to evaluate interventions in higher-risk populations undergoing more complex procedures. Tele-ICU platforms demonstrate promise to provide specialized, high-acuity care to underserved areas and may also be used to augment compliance with evidence-based protocols.

    Laboratory Testing of Severe Acute Respiratory Virus Coronavirus 2: A New York Institutional Experience

      Smithgall et al.
    Advances in Molecular PathologyVol. 3p13
    Published online: July 19, 2020
    Throughout March, April, and May 2020, the severe acute respiratory virus coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus traumatized New York and the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected almost everyone, irrespective of title, status, or ethnicity. It has left an indelible mark on how people regard and conduct everyday life in the midst of the crisis. Clinical molecular laboratory scientists have been frustrated, exhausted, and perplexed at the implementation of diagnostic assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 and tests that measure the consequences of infection.
