Peritonsillar abscesses were the most common (40.3%), followed by retropharyngeal abscesses. Antibiotic therapy alone was successful in 33.3% of cases, while 66.7% required surgical drainage. Prolonged hospitalization was associated with low hemoglobin (<i>p</i> = .003) and albumin (<i>p</i> = .034), larger abscess size (<i>p</i> = .047), and elevated inflammatory markers (SIRI: <i>p</i> = .007, SII: <i>p</i> = .015).</p><p><strong>Conclusions and significance: </strong>Prognostic factors such as hemoglobin, albumin, and inflammatory indices is essential in PDNA management. Surgical intervention plays a key role in severe cases, emphasizing the need for standardized protocols.</p>","PeriodicalId":6880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Oto-Laryngologica","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143187621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
