Abstract
About 99% of OM are commonly visible in younger kids less than 2 years of age, however its incidence may also be seen in adults. Otitis media (OM) is defined as inflammation in the middle ear cleft and is observed via effusion fluids into the middle ear caused by infection, which may be related to the presence or absence of tympanic membrane perforation. The present study aimed to incidence, risk factors, complication and prevention of acute and chronic otitis media in a tertiary care hospital. The study constituted1000 subjects affected with OM and the diagnosis was confirmed by ENT specialists using all the required otorhinolaryngological tests. The present study was carried out by the institutional ethical clearance. Squamous-chronic suppurative otitis media was highly prevalent (52.3%) followed by mucosal-chronic suppurative otitis media (42.7%)), acute suppurative otitis media (46.5%), and otitis media with effusion (18.8%). Major differences have been discovered in special types of listening to loss at higher frequency in the subtypes of otitis media OM is a condition of serious concern, further research on the genetic aspects may help to understand the underlying mechanisms for formulating better therapeutic and defensive strategies
