    Abstract Importance: Research about population-level changes in the incidence and stage of head and neck cancer (HNC) associated with the COVID-19 pandemic is sparse.
    Objective: To examine the change in localized vs advanced HNC incidence rates before and during the first year of the pandemic.
    Design, setting, and participants: In this cross-sectional study of patients in the US diagnosed with HNC from 2017 to 2020, the estimated number with cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx (floor of mouth; gum and other mouth; lip; oropharynx and tonsil; and tongue) and larynx were identified from the SEER cancer registry. Subgroup analyses were stratified by race and ethnicity, age, and sex. Data were analyzed after the latest update in April 2023.
    Exposure: The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
    Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcomes were the annual incidence rates per 100 000 people for localized HNC (includes both localized and regional stages) and advanced HNC (distant stage) and weighted average annual percentage change from 2019 to 2020. Secondary outcomes included annual percentage change for 2017 to 2018 and 2018 to 2019, which provided context for comparison.
    Results: An estimated 21 664 patients (15 341 [71%] male; 10 726 [50%] ≥65 years) were diagnosed with oral cavity and pharynx cancer in 2019 in the US, compared with 20 390 (4355 [70%] male; 10 393 [51%] ≥65 years) in 2020. Overall, the HNC incidence rate per 100 000 people declined from 11.6 cases in 2019 to 10.8 in 2020. The incidence rate of localized cancer declined to 8.8 cases (-7.9% [95% CI, -7.5 to -8.2]) from 2019 to 2020. The localized cancer incidence during the first year of the pandemic decreased the most among male patients (-9.3% [95% CI, -9.2 to -9.5]), Hispanic patients (-12.9% [95% CI, -12.9 to -13.0]), and individuals with larynx cancer (-14.3% [95% CI, -13.6 to -15.0]). No change in the overall incidence rate was found for advanced HNC.
    Conclusions and relevance: In this cross-sectional study, the incidence of localized HNC declined during the first year of the pandemic. A subsequent increase in advanced-stage diagnoses may be observed in later years.

    Abstract Introduction: Dog bite injuries occur in approximately 102 of every 100,000 population. Pediatric facial injuries due to dog bites are more common than in the adult largely due to height difference and ease of access for the dog to the head and neck region. Although majority are soft tissue injuries, pediatric facial fractures from dog bites are estimated at approximately 5%, with the true incidence unknown. We hypothesize that depth and facial subsite of laceration can indicate likelihood of facial fracture presence in pediatric patients with dog bite injuries.
    Methods: This single-institution retrospective study included 162 patients 18 years or younger (n = 162) who had an ICD-9 code of E906.0 or ICD-10 code of W54.0 for dog bites in the head and neck region between 1/1/2015 and 12/31/2019 and were treated in the emergency department by either an emergency department, otolaryngology, or plastics surgery provider. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to examine the association between patient age, sex, and dog size, and the outcomes: laceration depth (epidermis, dermis, muscle, bone), and facial subsite (upper, middle, lower third).
    Results: Males had a lower laceration penetration at the epidermis level (aOR = 0.36; 95% CI 0.19, 0.69) but a higher laceration penetration at the muscle level (aOR = 2.29; 95% CI 1.04, 5.04) compared to females. No significant findings were observed for the levels of dermis and bone. In the multivariable analysis, there were no significant associations to suggest facial fractures found between facial subsites and age, sex and dog size.
    Conclusion: No significant associations between depth or facial subsite of facial injury from dog bites and the presence of facial fractures in pediatric patients except with regard to male sex and laceration level of epidermis and muscle.

    Abstract In 2018, the Food and Drug Administration expanded the age of eligibility for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to 27 to 45 years. However, it is unclear if there are racial/ethnic disparities in HPV vaccine uptake for this age-group following this expanded recommendation. We aimed to identify any disparities in HPV vaccine in 27 to 45 year-olds based on sociodemographic factors. We analyzed nationally representative, cross-sectional data from the 2019 National Health Interview Survey (

    Abstract Purpose: We described sun protective behaviors in adolescents and young adults (AYA) compared to older adults.
    Methods: We used data from the 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nationally representative samples of the civilian, noninstitutionalized US population (10,710 respondents aged between 20 and 59 and without a history of skin cancer diagnoses). The primary exposure for the study was age group: aged 20-39 defined as AYA and aged 40-59 as adults. The outcome variable was sun protective behaviors: stay in the shade, wear a long-sleeved shirt, use sunscreen, at least one of the three; and all three measures. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess association between age group and sun protective behaviors adjusting for sociodemographic factors.
    Results: Overall, 51.3% of respondents were AYA, 76.1% reported staying in the shade, 50.9% using sunscreen, 33.3% wearing long-sleeved clothes, 88.1% engaging in one of the three behaviors, and 17.1% engaging in all three behaviors. In the adjusted models, the odds of engaging in all three behaviors among AYAs was 28% (aOR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.62-0.83) lower than adult respondents. Compared to adults, AYAs were 22% less likely to wear long sleeved clothes (aOR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.70-0.87). There were no significant differences in the odds of engaging in at least one sun protective behavior, using sunscreen, and staying in the shade between AYAs and adults.
    Conclusions: More targeted interventions need to be implemented to decrease the risk of skin cancer in the AYA population.
