Odontogenic sinusitis (ODS) is underrepresented in the literature compared to other forms of rhinosinusitis, specifically in sinusitis guidelines and position statements. ODS publication characteristics could help explain why ODS has received less attention in sinusitis guidelines and position statements. The purpose of this study was to explore trends in the quantity and quality of ODS studies over 3 decades from 1990 to 2019.
A systematic review was performed to identify all ODS studies from 1990 to 2019. The following variables from all ODS studies were compared between and across the 3 decades: authors' specialties, journal specialties, authors' geographic origins (continents), study topics, study designs, and evidence levels.
From 1990 to 2019, there were 254 ODS studies that met inclusion criteria. Numbers of publications increased each decade, with 161 being published from 2010 to 2019. Otolaryngologists and dental authors published over 75% of ODS studies each decade, with 60-75% of ODS articles being published in otolaryngology or dental journals. European and Asian authors published the most ODS studies each decade. Overall, 92-100% of ODS publications per decade were level 4 and 5 evidence, with no significant changes between or across decades.
While numbers of ODS publications increased each decade from 1990 to 2019, evidence levels remained low without significant changes over time. Otolaryngologists and dental authors published the majority of ODS studies each decade, with a minority of these studies being multidisciplinary. More ODS studies are needed across all aspects of the condition, and future projects would benefit from improved study designs and multidisciplinary collaboration.
与其他形式的鼻窦炎相比，牙源性鼻窦炎（ODS）在文献中的代表性不足，特别是在鼻窦炎指南和立场声明中。ODS 的发表特征可以帮助解释为什么 ODS 在鼻窦炎指南和立场声明中受到的关注较少。本研究的目的是探讨 1990 年至 2019 年 30 年来 ODS 研究数量和质量的趋势。
系统检索 1990 年至 2019 年所有 ODS 研究。对所有 ODS 研究的以下变量进行了比较：作者专业、期刊专业、作者地理来源（大陆）、研究主题、研究设计和证据水平。
1990 年至 2019 年，共有 254 项符合纳入标准的 ODS 研究。每个十年出版物数量都有所增加，其中 2010 年至 2019 年发表了 161 篇。耳鼻喉科医生和牙科医生每个十年发表了超过 75%的 ODS 研究，60-75%的 ODS 文章发表在耳鼻喉科或牙科期刊上。欧洲和亚洲的作者每个十年发表的 ODS 研究最多。总体而言，每个十年的 ODS 出版物中有 92-100%为 4 级和 5 级证据，各十年之间没有显著变化。
虽然 1990 年至 2019 年每个十年的 ODS 出版物数量都有所增加，但证据水平仍然较低，且随着时间的推移没有显著变化。耳鼻喉科医生和牙科医生每个十年发表了大多数 ODS 研究，其中只有少数是多学科研究。需要在疾病的各个方面进行更多的 ODS 研究，未来的项目将受益于改进的研究设计和多学科合作。
