Payments sharply decreased in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic ($17.4\u2009million\/year pre-pandemic 2017 to 2019 to $7.7\u2009million in 2020) but partially rebounded to $13.7\u2009million\/year by 2023. High-value payments (>$10,000) increased significantly post-pandemic (mean 124\/year, 2021-2023) compared to pre-pandemic (mean 75\/year, 2017-2020,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.0001). Food and beverage were the most frequent payment type (88%; 17% of total value), but the greatest payment value came from consulting fees (2.6% of payments; 36% of total value). The top 5 states for industry payments (IPs) were California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania, accounting for 45% of nationwide IPs. The Northeast had the highest per-physician payments, whereas the South received the highest percentage (35%) of total funds. Twenty-six companies accounted for 80% of payments.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The number of IPs decreased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic but has approached pre-pandemic levels, driven by increased high-value payments. A small number of companies account for most payments. There is significant geographical heterogeneity, suggesting regional differences in physician-industry engagement and potentially disparate patient access to innovations. Future studies should clarify how industry funding influences otolaryngology clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00034894251397440","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,12]],"date-time":"2025-12-12T10:22:44Z","timestamp":1765534964000},"page":"394-399","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Geographical and Temporal Trends in Industry Engagement Among Otolaryngologists 2017 to 2023"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"135","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9311-9542","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christie","family":"Hung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jamie","family":"Schlacter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elliot","family":"Morse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lio2.1107"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cmi.2022.07.023"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BPO.0000000000001375"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2016.3037"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5435\/JAAOS-D-23-00395"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599819838268"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599818778502"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599818758661"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2473974X20932506"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","unstructured":"Services CfMM.
