Abstract Objective Anchor‐based methods to calculate the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of a patient‐reported outcome measure (PROM) may suffer from recall bias. This has never been investigated for otolaryngic PROMs. We sought to identify evidence of recall bias in calculation of MCIDs of PROMs for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Design Retrospective analysis of data from two previous studies calculating the MCID of the 22‐item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT‐22)...

Abstract Epidemiology of Covid‐19 and diffusion patterns of the novel coronavirus (SARS – CoV – 2) are still poorly understood, as they differ substantially among countries and even in neighboring regions within the same country. It is not clear if differences in viral spreading depends on population age, genetic influences, specific environmental factors (e.g. season of the year), socioeconomic conditions or a combination of these. Some Authors hypothesized that differences in models of SARS –...
