Study on related factors of repeated attack of child otitis media with effusion / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the risk factors of repeated episodes of child otitis media with effusion(OME).Methods One hundred and twenty-one children cases of repeated OME within 1 year in the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from February 2013 to August 2015 were selected as the repeated group and contemporaneous 125 cases of non-repeated OME were selected as the control group.The repeated OME related factors were performed the univariate and multivariate analysis.Furthermore the occurrence rates of main risk factors and annual onset frequency of nasal disease were compared among different age groups.Results The Logistic multivariate regression analysis results indicated that younger age,allergic rhinitis,recurrent upper respiratory tract infections,tonsil hypertrophy Ⅳ°,adenoid hypertrophy Ⅲ °and Ⅳ ° and poor mastoid gasification were major risk factors for recurrence of OME.The incidence rate of repeated upper respiratory tract infections in the 3-＜7 years old group and ＜3 years old group was obviously higher than that in the7-14 years old group(P＜0.05),adenoid hypertrophy in the ＜3 years old group and 7-14 years old group was lower than that in the 3-＜7 years old group(P＜0.05).The annual onset frequency of nasal disease in the repeated group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P=0.000).Conclusion Child OME is the results of multivariate factors combined action.The smaller the age,the more the annual onset frequency and the higher the possibility of OME repeated onset.
