Epistaxis management: is medical intervention required for inactive epistaxis?
Our study result show that endonasal endoscopic mucosal cauterization is an effective method for resistant-to-treatment cases and inactive bleeding on admission is not a restraint for further examination.
The authors have shown the visual analogue scale scar scoring and scar ranking methods to be consistent, reliable, valid, and feasible. These methods for scar assessment are highly sensitive and capable of reliably measuring differences in scar quality, making them valuable techniques, reaching an unmet clinical need, and enabling investigation of changes in scar quality (e.g., with time or after therapeutic intervention).
