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.

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. Data diambil dari rekam medis. jumlah sampel ditentukan sebanyak 100. Analisis data dengan uji chi-square. Hasil : Jenis kelamin laki-laki 46 orang, wanita 54 orang, rerata usia 32 tahun. Status osikula, lama sakit, kolesteatom, luas perforasi membran telinga berhubungan terhadap ABG (p <0,05). Kesimpulan : Faktor risiko (status osikula, lama sakit, kolesteatom, perforasi membran timpani) berhubungan dengan air bone gap  pada penderita OMSK. Kata kunci : Air bone gap, faktor risiko, otitis media supuratif kronik.   Background: Hearing loss is the most frequent complication of chronic otitis media (CSOM), hearing loss is usually caused by conductive deafness caused by the presence of an air bone gap (ABG). ABG in CSOM patients has different variations and distinctive characters based on the factors. Objective: To analyze the relationship of risk factors ABG in CSOM patients. Methods: Observational analytic study with a retrospective observational analytic design at Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang in September 2018 - January 2019. Subjects were 100 patients. Data retrieval is done based on medical records about history taking, physical examination and investigation. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test. Results: A total male 46 and female. Avarage age 32 years. Oscular status, duration of illness, cholesteatom, area of ??ear membrane perforation associated with ABG (p <0.05). Conclusion: Risk factors (osicular status, duration of illness, cholesteatom, tympanic membrane perforation) associated with air bone gap in CSOM patients. Keywords: Chronic supurative otitis media, air bone gap, risk factors
