Highlight
– A 10-year retrospective study of 31,866 pediatric otolaryngology referrals showed no significant seasonal variation in epistaxis cases.
– Treatment approaches, including nasal cautery and mucosal hydration, were consistent throughout all seasons.
– Conventional wisdom associating pediatric nosebleeds with dry, winter weather was not supported by rigorous analysis.
– Study findings advocate for consistent, year-round counseling and management of pediatric epistaxis.
