Abstract

Background Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic infection of the middle ear with perforation of the tympanic membrane and secrete from the ear more for than two months, either continuously or intermittently. Chronic suppurative otitis media has a high prevalence and impact on the physical, social, and psychological of the patients. This disease may be fatal and even cause death. Objective Analyzing management evaluation of CSOM patients. Methods A retrospective study was conducted based on medical records of CSOM patients from January 2017–December 2019. The study used total sampling Chi-squared test with p < 0.05. Results There were 600 patients with CSOM in January 2017–December 2019. Most of them were male, aged 36–45 years old with normal body mass index. There were 431 patients on the follow-up post-treatment by either medical or surgical management.

Conclusions : CSOM managements are in the form of operative and non-operative that shows improvement within 6-month evaluation.

Therefore, they are easily exposed to risk factors [17].…”

The association of iron deficiency anemia on chronic suppurative otitis media in children: A case-control study

“…The participants in this study were Indonesian children with CSOM aged 1–18 years [ 5 , 14 ]. The diagnosis of CSOM is chronic inflammation of the middle ear and mastoid mucosa in which the tympanic membrane is not intact (perforation or tympanostomy tube) and discharge (otorrhea) [ 15 ].…”

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the volume of chronic suppurative otitis media surgeries

“…All CSOM patient medical records were included as research subjects. The diagnosis of chronic otitis media is based on the criteria for intermittent or persistent discharge from the middle ear for more than 6 weeks with perforation of the tympanic membrane [ 1 , 11 ]. Cholesteatoma findings were assessed at the time of surgery.…”
