Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a pathological disorder affecting the ear, characterized by a persistent and long-lasting middle ear infection accompanied by the absence of an intact tympanic membrane. Multiple measures can be employed to evaluate the quality of life among patients with CSOM. One such instrument is the chronic otitis media questionnaire-12 (COMQ-12), which has demonstrated satisfactory levels of validity and reliability. The utilization of the COMQ-12 questionnaire has the potential to improve the quality of life experienced by CSOM patients. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian adaptation instrument of the COMQ-12 in patients with CSOM in the Otorhinolaryngology department of multiple hospitals in Yogyakarta. The study was conducted from February to July 2023. The study comprised 48 participants, consisting of 16 males and 32 females. The adapted Indonesian version of the COMQ-12 instrument demonstrates validity and reliability in assessing patients' quality of life with CSOM, as evidenced by a statistically significant r-value of 0.2353. The internal consistency analysis reveals that Cronbach's α coefficient is 0.868. The Indonesian adaptation of the COMQ-12 demonstrates validity and reliability as an assessment tool for measuring the health-related quality of life in patients diagnosed with CSOM.

“…This is consistent with other studies utilising the Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 questionnaire to assess disease-specific health-related QoL, with mean item-7 scores ranging from 1.32 to 2.86 (minor-moderate tinnitus severity). 17,[22][23][24][25] In three studies evaluating chronic otitis media patients following middle-ear surgery, a large proportion of patients reported tinnitus pre-operatively (42.7 to 47.6 per cent). 13,26,27 It is evident that tinnitus is a common burden in patients suffering from chronic otitis media alongside hearing impairment and ear discharge.…”

Analysis of tinnitus severity and associated risk factors in patients with chronic otitis media: data from the multinational collaborative Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 study

Background Subjective tinnitus is a common symptom, and there is often an underlying otological cause. This study investigated the degree of tinnitus-related annoyance in patients with chronic otitis media and analysed whether associations with tinnitus severity exist. Method The multinational collaborative Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 study collected prospective data on 478 adult patients suffering from chronic otitis media across 9 otology referral centres in 8 countries. Based on this dataset, we investigated tinnitus severity using participant responses to item 7 of a native version of the Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12. Results With respect to tinnitus severity, 23.8 per cent, 17.4 per cent, 15.5 per cent, and 43.4 per cent of participants reported no, minor, moderate, and major inconvenience or greater, respectively. The absence of ear discharge, absence of cholesteatoma, and poorer disease-specific health-related quality-of-life were associated with increased tinnitus severity in patients with chronic otitis media, whereas age, hearing disability and geographical region showed no association. Conclusion This analysis provided novel insight into potential risk factors for tinnitus in patients with chronic otitis media.

“…The Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 (COMQ-12) (8) was recently composed adapting items from three previous questionnaires (9)(10)(11), as a PROM. It has been translated into more than 10 languages to date and local reference samples have been provided, but with little criterion validation (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). COMQ-12 has good reported internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and content validity, including all the three main domains classically suggested for covering COM presentation (hearing, active ear discharge symptoms, and activity limitations plus healthcare use, hereafter "activity/healthcare") (20,21).…”

Objective: Using a short-form specific questionnaire, we sought to quantify specific and generic benefits of surgery for chronic otitis media (COM) while adjusting for expectancy (placebo) bias. Study Design: A prospective observational pretreatment/posttreatment study. Setting: A national tertiary referral center. Patients: Consecutive adult COM patients were enrolled for 1 year. Of 246 patients, 205 were recommended for surgery, and 167 were operated on the (more) affected ear. Intervention(s): All patients filled out two questionnaires, one specific (Chronic Otitis Media Questionaire-12) and one generic (Short Form-36) at baseline, and then again 6 and 12 months after surgery. Main Outcome Measures: Factor-based scores of questionnaires, standardized response means (SRMs) for treatment effects, with multiple linear regression for implementing bias adjustment.Results: All but one (generic Short Form-36 "mental" scale) of the seven considered measures gave very highly significant ( p < 0.001) improvements. Unadjusted SRMs were large (1.0-2.0 standard deviation units) for audiometry, symptoms of ear discharge, reported hearing, and aggregate specific quality of life, but only moderate for the less specific activity/healthcare. The proposed bias adjustment reduced SRM magnitudes for most measures by about a third, for activity/healthcare and ear discharge by only a tenth to a fifth, and for audiometry not at all. Conclusion: Most scores of the specific questionnaire displayed definite placebo-like biases; this demands caution in interpreting improvement after COM surgery. With bias adjustments, credible and worthwhile magnitudes of improvements remained for Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 total and subscores (0.5-1.09 standard deviation SRM), but not for generic quality of life.
