“…Chow, et al (2013) has also analyzed that it is important to know about the significance of medical survey related to different complications. Pederson et al (2015) has specifically indicated that it is important for the general public to be aware of the otolaryngologic diseases as it will result in the better therapeutic rates along with better survival rates. Therefore, it can be said that awareness of medical survey is necessary to enhance the quality of life and welfare of the patients.…”

The study aims to evaluate the awareness level regarding the importance of medical survey among a sample of school teachers in public and the private sectors. The study has investigated the presence of Otolaryngologic diseases including Dysphonia among teachers. A cross-sectional sample was selected from different parts of Jeddah city to enroll the elementary, intermediate, and the high school teachers. There were more than 800 schools; however, the study has selected 26 schools only. The study was conducted during the academic year of 2014. The awareness about medical survey among public awareness is of paramount importance in the detection, management, and planning of health related problems. The study has depicted less than acceptable participation from the school teachers regarding the awareness and management of health problems, and more efforts have to be made to educate the public sectors about the importance of the medical survey.

“…This study is part of a larger series intended to map all 291 diseases studied by GBD to representation in major research databases [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] . It would also be valuable to compare topic prioritisation in other databases to CDSR, such as the Database of Abstracts and Reviews of Effects (DARE), Medline, Health Systems Evidence, and Web of Science, to provide further insight into whether research priorities are appropriately matched to corresponding disease burden.…”

ImportanceBurden of disease should impact research prioritisation.ObjectiveTo analyse the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) and determine whether systematic reviews and protocols accurately represent disease burden, as measured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2010 Study.MethodsTwo investigators collected GBD disability metrics for 12 external causes of injury in the GBD 2010 Study. These external causes were then assessed for systematic review and protocol representation in CDSR. Data was collected during the month of April 2015. There were no study participants aside from the researchers. Percentage of total 2010 DALYs, 2010 DALY rank, and median DALY percent change from 1990 to 2010 of the 12 external causes of injury were compared with CDSR representation of systematic reviews and protocols. Data were analysed for correlation using Spearman rank correlation.ResultsEleven of the 12 causes were represented by at least one systematic review or protocol in CDSR; the category collective violence and legal intervention had no representation in CDSR. Correlation testing revealed a strong positive correlation that was statistically significant. Representation of road injury; interpersonal violence; fire, heat, and hot substances; mechanical forces; poisonings, adverse effect of medical treatment, and animal contact was well aligned with respect to DALY. Representation of falls was greater compared to DALY, while self-harm, exposure to forces of nature, and other transport injury representation was lower compared to DALY.Conclusions and relevanceCDSR representation of external causes of injury strongly correlates with disease burden. The number of systematic reviews and protocols was well aligned for seven out of 12 causes of injury. These results provide high-quality and transparent data that may guide future prioritisation decisions.

“…Head and neck cancers account for 5.7% of global cancer- related mortality, with a significantly higher mortality burden and subsequent economic loss in LMICs compared to high-income countries (HICs) [ 33 ▪ ]. Other OHNS conditions with high global burden of disease include upper respiratory infections, cleft lip/palate, head and neck trauma, pediatric foreign body, and deep neck space infections [ 34 ▪ , 35 , 36 ▪▪ ].…”

“…The Global OHNS Initiative is a global consortium of OHNS clinical providers, trainees, and researchers with a vision for “ universal access to high-quality, safe, timely, and affordable care for those with OHNS conditions ”. To begin defining the role of OHNS care within comprehensive health systems, the group previously used the Delphi methodology to identify a consensus of priority OHNS conditions and procedures which all national health systems should be capable of managing [ 35 ]. The initiative then used these findings to develop an expert-driven list of the minimal equipment necessary for the medical and surgical care of the priority conditions.…”

Purpose of reviewTo highlight the need for comprehensive resource lists to provide baseline care of otolaryngologic conditions; to present a proposed list of essential equipment and services that may be applied toward surgical systems research, policymaking, and charitable efforts in global otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Recent findingsTo provide effective and high-quality surgical care across care settings, there must be a global standard for equipment and ancillary services necessary to provide baseline care. Though there have been efforts to devise resource standards via equipment lists and appraisal tools, these have been limited in scope to general surgery, emergency care, and a few other subspecialty surgical contexts. Recent efforts have brought attention to the significant burden imposed by otolaryngologic conditions such as hearing loss, otitis media, head and neck cancer, head and neck trauma, and upper airway foreign bodies. Yet, there has not been a comprehensive list of resources necessary to provide baseline care for common otolaryngologic conditions.

Identifying Otolaryngology Systematic Review Research Gaps

Abstract: The representation of otolaryngologic conditions in CDSR correlates poorly with DALY metrics. The results of this study may guide future research prioritization and allocation of funds.
