Description
Objectives: Otitis media are well identifying as an infection and/or inflammation of the middle ear. New-born’s and infants are more likely to infect with AOM because of the immature immune system. This present study was to evaluate the various risk factors of acute otitis media in infants in tertiary care centre. Methods: A questionnaire form was prepared by the researchers in order to collect all the relevant data associated with the study sample. The questionnaire form contains of (11) items that are (Age, gender, residency, type of feeding, nasal obstruction condition, child position during feeding, mother’s position during feeding, upper respiratory tract infection, using bottle feeding at night, exposed to second hand smoke, and using the pacifiers when sleeping). Results: Most of the infants 16(40%) of case group were in age 7-9 months. 29(72.5%) bottle feeding infants were seen in case group and 27(67.5%) bottle feeding infants were seen in control group. Nasal obstruction was seen in 30(75%) case and 23(57.5%) control group infants. Child’s position during feeding in case group of majorities of cases 27(67.5%) had supine. Child’s position during feeding in control group of majorities of cases 22(55%) had semi flower’s. Upper respiratory infection was seen in 18(45%) infants of case group and 24(60%) infant of control group. Bottle feeding at night (for breast feeding infants) was seen in 10(83.33%) infants of case group and in 9(75%) infants of control group. Children exposed to passive smoking was seen in 34(85%) infants of case group and 24(60%) infants of control group. Conclusions: This present study concluded that the bottle feeding, nasal obstruction, supine position during feeding, child exposed to passive smoking are major risk factors for acute otitis media in infants.
