The aetiology is thought to be dental. However, this study suggests a reduction in tonsillectomies may be associated with the rise.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215119000458_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>In a retrospective cohort study, patients were identified by a clinical code within one hospital over 10 years.

Risk factors include tonsillitis, smoking and dental infection. This paper adds to the growing evidence that deep neck space abscesses are increasingly related to tonsillitis, and questions whether the threshold for tonsillectomy has been raised too high.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215119000458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,29]],"date-time":"2019-03-29T11:50:19Z","timestamp":1553860219000},"page":"324-328","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Ten years of deep neck space abscesses"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"133","author":[{"given":"J","family":"Buckley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A S","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Addams-Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215119000458_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-9136(199701)14:1<29::AID-DIA300>3.0.CO;2-V"},{"key":"S0022215119000458_ref4","unstructured":"Procedures of low clinical effectiveness.
