The National Readmissions Database (NRD) 2013\u20102014 was queried for all cases of lingual tonsillectomy occurring from 2013 to 2014. Among 602 lingual tonsillectomies (mean age 36.5 years, 58.2% male), the common indications for surgery were obstructive sleep apnea (58.7%), lingual tonsil hypertrophy\/infection (18.8%), and neoplasia (15.9%). Overall, 49 (8.2%) of the cases were readmitted (95% confidence interval, 4.8%\u201013.5%), with an average readmission duration of 3.0\u00a0days and average readmission cost of $25.4K. The most common diagnoses at readmission were bleeding (1.9% of all lingual tonsillectomy cases); dysphagia (1.7%); fever, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (1.6%); acute pain (1.6%); and airway obstruction (1.4%). There were no mortalities during primary or subsequent admissions. Lingual tonsillectomy across age groups is relatively free of adverse events, with overall readmission and complication rates similar to those of palatine tonsillectomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599819827820","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,19]],"date-time":"2019-02-19T05:28:29Z","timestamp":1550554109000},"page":"619-621","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Clinical Characteristics, Complications, and Reasons for Readmission following Lingual Tonsillectomy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"160","author":[{"given":"Catherine","family":"Merna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurotology and Skull Base Surgery Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of California at Irvine Orange California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harrison W.","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurotology and Skull Base Surgery Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery University of California at Irvine Orange California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neil","family":"Bhattacharyya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otology &amp; Laryngology Harvard Medical School Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2008.01.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-013-2845-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000441456"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2017.11.027"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2011.06.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2016.09.037"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2015.10.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/2013.jamaoto.197"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.24613"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599817725708"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaoto.2016.4274"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","first-page":"109","volume-title":"Pediatric Airway Surgery","author":"Hartnick CJ"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016489.2014.952336"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","volume-title":"Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality","author":"Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP)"}],"container-title":["Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0194599819827820","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0194599819827820","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/aao-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0194599819827820","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T10:24:07Z","timestamp":1760955847000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aao-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0194599819827820"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,19]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0194599819827820"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0194599819827820","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0194-5998","1097-6817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0194-5998","type":"print"},{"value":"1097-6817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,19]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2018-09-03","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2019-01-11","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2019-02-19","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
