AbstractBackground:Otitis media represents a major health concern in Australian Indigenous children (‘Indigenous children’), which has persisted, despite public health measures, for over 30 years.Methods:Global searches were performed to retrieve peer-reviewed and ‘grey’ literature investigating the epidemiology of and risk factors for otitis media in Indigenous children, published between 1985 and 2012.Results:In Indigenous children, the prevalence of otitis media subtypes is 7.1–12.8 per cent for acute otitis media, 10.5–30.3 per cent for active chronic otitis media and 31–50 per cent for tympanic membrane perforation. The initial onset of otitis media in Indigenous children occurs earlier and persists for longer after the first year of life, compared with non-Indigenous children. Indigenous children are colonised by otopathogens more frequently, at younger ages and with a higher bacterial load. Poor community and domestic infrastructure, overcrowding and exposure to tobacco smoke increase the risk of otitis media in Indigenous children; however, the availability of swimming pools plays no role in the prevention or management of otitis media.Conclusion:Despite awareness of the epidemiological burden of otitis media and its risk factors in Indigenous children, studies undertaken since 1985 demonstrate that otitis media remains a significant public health concern in this population.

Background: After otorrhea and hearing loss, Tinnitus is the most common symptom in pa­tients with chronic otitis media (COM). The aim of this study was to evaluate the improvement of tinnitus in COM patients after tympanoplasty and tympanomastoidectomy surgeries. Mate­rials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on COM patients suffering from Tinnitus referred to Baqiyatallah hospital, Tehran, Iran undergoing tympanoplasty or tympano­mastoidectomy surgeries between March 2013 and August 2014. Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) questionnaires were filled before and two months after surgery by each patient, and considered subjects were compared with each other. Audiometry test was taken from each patient before and two months after surgery. Audiometry results as well as Air-Bone gap were measured and evaluated prior and after surgery. Data were analyzed using SPSS software by ANOVA, sample t-test and Chi-square tests. Results: Eventually, 26 male and 24 female patients with a mean age of 38.62±11.88 years were enrolled. Air conduc­tion at all frequencies was 49.99±17.37 before and 36.98±22.06 after surgery (P<0.001). Sever­ity of tinnitus was 62.92±30.54 before and 30.54±20.08 after surgery based on THI (P<0.001). Also, it was 7.46±1.66 before and 3.5±2.06 after surgery based on VAS evaluations (P<0.001). Tinnitus severity reduction was significantly associated with the improvement of hearing loss and decrement of air-Bone gap (P<0.001). Tinnitus symptoms such as loudness, annoyance, impact on life and perception of Tinnitus significantly reduced after surgery. Moreover, Tym­panomastoidectomy was more effective on the improvement of Tinnitus in comparison with Tympanoplasty (P=0.019).Conclusion: It seems that, both tympanomastoidectomy and tympa­noplasty surgeries are effective on the improvement of tinnitus in patients with COM; however, Tympanomastoidectom surgery was shown to be more effective.[GMJ.2016;5(2):63-69]

Abstract Purpose In chronic otitis media (COM), disease chronicity and severity of middle ear inflammation may influence the development of inner ear deficits, increasing the risk of vestibular impairment. This secondary analysis of the multinational collaborative Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 (COMQ-12) dataset sought to determine the prevalence of vestibular symptoms in patients with COM and identify associated disease-related characteristics. Methods Adult patients with a diagnosis of COM in outpatient settings at nine otology referral centers across eight countries were included. We investigated the presence of vestibular symptoms (dizziness and/or disequilibrium) using participant responses to item 6 of a native version of the COMQ-12. Audiometric data and otoscopic assessment were also recorded. Results This analysis included 477 participants suffering from COM, with 56.2% (n = 268) reporting at least mild inconvenience related to dizziness or disequilibrium. There was a significant association between air conduction thresholds in the worse hearing ear and presence of dizziness [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.01; 95% CI 1.00–1.02; p = 0.0177]. Study participants in European countries (AOR 1.53; 95% CI 1.03–2.28; p = 0.0344) and Colombia (AOR 2.48; 95% CI 1.25–4.92; p = 0.0096) were more likely to report dizziness than participants in Asian countries. However, ear discharge and cholesteatoma showed no association with dizziness in the adjusted analyses. Conclusion Vestibular symptoms contribute to burden of disease in patients with COM and associates with hearing disability in the worse hearing ear. Geographical variation in presentation of dizziness may reflect financial barriers to treatment or cultural differences in how patients reflect on their health state.

Latar belakang : Kehilangan pendengaran merupakan komplikasi otitis media kronik (OMSK) yang paling sering, jenis kehilangan pendengaran yang tersering adalah tuli konduktif, yang disebabkan oleh adanya air bone gap (ABG), ABG pada pasien OMSK mempunyai variasi yang berbeda-beda dan karakter yang khas berdasarkan faktor risiko. Tujuan : Menganalisis hubungan faktor risiko dengan ABG pada penderita OMSK. Metode : Penelitian desain observational analitik retrospektif di RSUP Dr Kariadi Semarang pada bulan September 2018 - Januari 2019.
