Outpatient management of pediatric epistaxis: A cost analysis and clinical model
Approximately 75% of patients with epistaxis experienced improvement or resolution of symptoms with nasal lubrication alone. Refractory epistaxis was associated with a family history of coagulopathy, daily epistaxis episodes, and anemia. Otolaryngology visits for epistaxis were associated with a direct healthcare expense burden. Adaptation of our clinical model may mitigate these costs while improving patient care. <b>Level of Evidence</b>: 4.
