ABSTRACT

Background: Humanitarian outreach delivers essential cleft lip and palate (CLP) care in low- and middle-income countries. Objective: To review the literature regarding humanitarian CLP care and determine if a shift toward more sustainable care delivery is observed. Methods: A systematic review was performed on articles describing CLP repair in humanitarian settings from 1985 to 2020. Publications were categorized into trip reports, outcomes, teaching, and public health. Articles were stratified into three 12-year intervals (T1-T3) for analysis. Results: A total of 246 publications were included. Average annual publications increased 15.4-fold from T1 to T3 (p < 0.001). Among publications focused on delivering CLP-related care, descriptive trip report articles trended downward (58% in T1 vs. 42% in T3), whereas outcome-focused publications trended upward (42% in T1 vs. 58% T3). Public health research represented the greatest percentage of publications in T3 (50%). There were 22 teaching-related publications in T3 and only one in prior years. Conclusion: Research trends demonstrate a shift away from focusing solely on the number of surgical cases completed and toward more sustainable models of care delivery that address barriers to receiving longitudinal care.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Milan system for reporting salivary gland cytopathology (MSRSGC) was introduced to standardize reporting of salivary gland cytopathology. METHODS: A retrospective review of ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy of salivary gland lesions was performed between January 2018 and May 2021 at a community otolaryngology practice. Diagnostic accuracy and rate of diagnostic sialoadenectomy were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 203 FNAs (fine needle aspiration) were performed in 184 patients. MSRSGC was utilized in 87/203 cytopathology reports, with a diagnostic accuracy of 84%. Descriptive reporting was used in 115 FNAs, with a diagnostic accuracy of 89% (p = 0.68). Sialoadenectomy rate was 41% for MSRSGC compared to 36% in descriptive cytopathology (p = 0.48). CONCLUSIONS: MSRSGC is as accurate as descriptive cytopathology and the rate of diagnostic sialoadenectomy between both groups is similar in our community. The MSRSGC brings uniformity and standardization to the FNA reporting process.
