Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Alissa Kanaan's research focuses on the diagnosis and management of chronic sinonasal diseases, particularly chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Her work investigates factors influencing prognosis in acute invasive fungal sinusitis and the use of patient-reported outcome measures, such as the SNOT-22 questionnaire, to differentiate between conditions like spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and chronic rhinosinusitis. Kanaan has explored the application of the SNOT-22 in assessing quality of life improvements after surgical repair of cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Her research also includes risk stratification for acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis in immunocompromised patients and the investigation of sinus culture differences in patients with odontogenic disease. Kanaan has published 26 papers, accumulating 124 citations, with an h-index of 7. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
