Quality of Life of Patients With Otitis Media and Caregivers: A Multicenter Study

Abstract: The global quality of life of patients with OM over 5 years of age is worse than that of healthy children of similar age. Physical suffering and caregiver concerns are associated with frequent OM or effusion duration. Hopefully, these results will direct the focus of future outcomes studies.

“…This is emphasised in the otolaryngology literature from the extensive number of tools used for certain conditions; for example, otitis media.
