ABSTRACT

Objective To identify the risk factors of refractory secretory otitis and analyse the results .Meth-ods The study subjects were 42 patients(56 ears) with secretory secretory otitis media from June 2003 to June 2011 ,all patients were performed with ears ,nose ,pharynx and throat routine inspection and mastoid HRCT .All patients were retrospectively analyzed possible risk factors :suchas history ,infection ,eustachian tube dysfunction , chronic sinusitis ,deflection of nasal septum ,nose pharynx ministry malignant tumor ,tonsillitis ,adenoid hypertro-phy ,allergic rhinitis ,etc .Results In the multivariate analysis of 42 patients(56 ears) with refractory secretory oti-tis media and the control group of 50 patients(66 ears) ,statistically significant in the history (χ2 = 9 .814 ,P<0 .01) ,mastoid pneumatization adverse (χ2 =15 .301 ,P<0 .01) ,and allergic rhinitis (χ2 =32 .614 ,P<0 .01)were observed .Two of them were found to be significant in the logistic regression model :mastoid pneumatization adverse (OR=4 .44) ,and allergic rhinitis(OR = 15 .13) .Patients of mastoid pneumatization adverse with refractory otitis media is 4 .164 times (95% CI ,1 .903 ~9 .112);patients of allergic rhinitis was 17 .192 times higher than that of in no allergic patients (95% CI ,5 .850 ~ 50 .524) .Conclusion Mastoid pneumatization adverse and allergic rhinitis are the risk factors for refractory secretory otitis media .
