Abstract

Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to summarize some of the recent research studies on healthcare disparities across various subspecialties within otolaryngology. This review also highlights the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on disparities and proposes potential interventions to mitigate disparities.

Recent findings: Significant healthcare disparities in care and treatment outcomes have been reported across all areas of otolaryngology. Notable differences in survival, disease recurrence, and overall mortality have been noted based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), insurance status, etc. This is most well-researched in head and neck cancer (HNC) within otolaryngology.

Summary: Healthcare disparities have been identified by numerous research studies within otolaryngology for many vulnerable groups that include racial and ethnic minority groups, low-income populations, and individuals from rural areas among many others. These populations continue to experience suboptimal access to timely, quality otolaryngologic care that exacerbate disparities in health outcomes.

耳鼻咽喉科的医疗保健差异。

综述的目的：本综述的目的是总结最近关于耳鼻喉科各亚专业医疗保健差异的一些研究。这项审查还强调了新冠肺炎大流行对差异的影响，并提出了缓解差异的潜在干预措施。最近的发现：耳鼻喉科的所有领域都报告了在护理和治疗结果方面的重大医疗保健差异。根据种族、民族、社会经济地位（SES）、保险状况等，已注意到生存率、疾病复发率和总死亡率的显著差异。这在耳鼻喉科的癌症（HNC）中得到了最充分的研究。摘要：耳鼻喉科的许多研究已经确定了许多弱势群体的医疗保健差异，其中包括种族和少数民族群体、低收入人群和农村地区的个人等。这些人群继续无法获得及时、高质量的耳鼻喉科护理，这加剧了健康结果的差异。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the field of otorhinolaryngology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, and head and neck disorders. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include chronic rhinosinusitis; implantable devices; neurolaryngology; otolaryngic allergy; robotic surgery; sleep apnea; skull base surgery; thyroid surgery; and quality and outcomes.
