BackgroundPeritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a prevalent infection for specialists in otorhinolaryngology and pediatric primary care providers, that has the potential to cause severe complications. The aim of this study is to investigate the surgical treatment of pediatric peritonsillar abscesses and to compare the risk profiles of bilateral surgery versus surgery on the affected side alone. In addition, the evaluation of the microbiological smears obtained intraoperatively should provide information on whether the calculated antibiotic therapy adequately covers the microbial spectrum.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of pediatric patients (n = 150), who were treated for PTA between 2009 and 2024 by unilateral tonsillectomy (UTE) or bilateral tonsillectomy (BTE). Patient charts were analyzed regarding risk of bleeding, occurrence of other complications, recurrence rates in case of UTE as well as microbiological flora and antibiotic treatment.ResultsPostoperative bleeding did not differ significantly between both groups. In 4.4% of the patients treated by UTE a recurrent PTA was found. No other severe complications after surgical treatment were found. Antibiotic treatment mainly relied on Cefuroxime and Ampicillin-Sulbactam, which is in accordance with the detected microbiological flora.ConclusionsNo relevant differences were found with regard to the complication rate between UTE und BTE in pediatric patients. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were used in accordance with the detected microbiological flora. Since 2019, calculated antibiotic therapy with Ampicillin-Sulbactam has been the treatment of choice for pediatric PTA.

Simulation studies are often used to assess the frequency properties and optimality of statistical methods. They are typically reported in tables, which may contain hundreds of figures to be contrasted over multiple dimensions. To assess the degree to which these tables are fit for purpose, we performed a randomised cross-over experiment in which statisticians were asked to extract information from (i) such a table sourced from the literature and (ii) a graphical adaptation designed by the authors, and were timed and assessed for accuracy. We developed hierarchical models accounting for differences between individuals of different experience levels (under- and post-graduate), within experience levels, and between different table-graph pairs. In our experiment, information could be extracted quicker and, for less experienced participants, more accurately from graphical presentations than tabular displays. We also performed a literature review to assess the prevalence of hard-to-interpret design features in tables of simulation studies in three popular statistics journals, finding that many are presented innumerately. We recommend simulation studies be presented in graphical form.
