PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Recent publications continually change our daily practice in pediatric otolaryngology, general otolaryngology, and head and neck surgery. Among the half-million articles published each year, only a limited number have clinical data, study designs, and demonstrated validity which could (or should) change how we manage patients. Even motivated, well-intentioned practitioners may inadvertently miss these key publications, amidst the sea of surrounding articles. Every year, it remains critical, however, to have awareness of important, actionable, new data to provide optimal, current patient care. This program thus highlights recent publications which substantiate changing clinical practice in children and adults. Topics addressed include ear disease, sinonasal conditions, sleep disorders, immune-system disorders, and head and neck masses, among others. The selected publications span the spectrum of daily pediatric and comprehensive otolaryngology practice, as well as head and neck cancer management. New publications and data are presented in 2024, including key action items as they relate to existing standards. The panel encompasses the editorial leadership from top-tier otolaryngology journals, as well as leadership from the clinical practice guidelines, consensus statements endorsed by national professional organizations, and Academy research and quality work.

Learning Objectives:

Review key pediatric and adult otolaryngology and head and neck cancer publications within the last 1-3 years.
Discuss how to identify and interpret significant, valid, and actionable literature from pediatric, adult otolaryngology, and head and neck surgery publications.
Analyze recent data substantiating changes in pediatric, adult otolaryngology, and head and neck conditions which are commonly seen.
