The Relevance Of Age, Bmi, And Right Versus Left Ear Surgery To The Incidence Of Taste Disturbance After Stapes Surgery, Jonathan Ong, Dennis Bojrab Ii

Posters

• Many factors such as age and body mass index (BMI) have been shown to influence post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing stapedectomy/stapedotomy.

• This study examines these factors to see if they have any impact on the incidence of taste disturbance, a commonly reported complication of stapes surgery.1

• Our study predicts that BMI and age are correlated with the incidence of taste disturbance post-operatively following stapes surgery.

Laryngeal Tuberculosis Mimicking Laryngeal Candidiasis, Claire Walters, Maranda Saigh, Eytan Keidar

Tuberculosis (TB) from the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosisand candidiasis from the fungus Candida albicansare both opportunistic pathogens with the ability to instigate infections within the larynx with similar clinical features, yet vastly different diagnostic parameters and treatment regimens.

Here, we highlight a case of an Indian woman on immune-modulating drugs who presented with severe laryngeal symptoms initially presumed to be laryngeal candidiasis but was later discovered to be laryngeal tuberculosis.

Predictors Of Icu Admission Following Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery, Brandon Prentice, Max Dehaan, Adam Folbe

Posters

• Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery (EESBS) encompasses a wide range of surgeries; pituitary adenoma resection is the most common of these.
• Patients routinely are admitted to the ICU post-operatively for monitoring of serious complications such as intracerebral hemorrhage and meningitis.
• Some complications such as diabetes insipidus, however, do not require a stay within the ICU and can be managed as an out-patient.
• Besides adding stress and discomfort to the patient, stays in the ICU are costly with one study reporting a cost of $2,902 per day.
• Previous studies identified preoperative hypertension and large tumor volume (>4500 mm3) as risk …

Leadership Matters: How Leadership Interacts With Physician Burnout In Private And Employed Practice Physicians, Peggy Nowak, Amy Williams

Conference Presentation Abstracts

Project objective/background Physician burnout is an occupational hazard that is multifactorial. Prior research has found that health care leadership qualities impact physician well-being and role satisfaction. However, this research was conducted in a fully employed physician model health system. The current study seeks to further understand the associations of physician satisfaction with their direct leaders and physician burnout and wellbeing in a mixed employed and private practice physician sample. Methods/approach Cross-sectional sample of 1300 physicians in both employed and private practice models received email invitations to take an anonymous survey in mid-2019. The physicians represented specialties providing care at inpatient …

Hearing Durability And Trajectory After Radiosurgery For Vestibular Schwannoma, Christian G. Fritz, Dennis I. Bojrab Ii, Nathan C. Tu, Christopher A. Schutt, Dennis I. Bojrab, Seilesh C. Babu

INTRODUCTION
Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are benign skull base tumors arising from the eighth cranial nerve. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is emerging as treatment for smaller sized tumors with the intent being to prevent further tumor growth, thus avoiding mass-effect symptoms. Hearing outcomes are commonly presented as preservation of class A/B hearing (defined as Pure Tone Average (PTA) ≤50 dB with Word Recognition Score (WRS) ≥50 dB). Long-term follow-up data on hearing outcomes and hearing trajectory trends are limited.
