Chronic Otitis Media With Effusion in Chronic Sinusitis With Polyps

Overview

The relationship between otitis media with effusion (OME) and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) remains unclear. A cross-sectional study of 80 consecutively presenting patients who were diagnosed with CRSwNP was conducted. The aim was to ascertain the prevalence of OME in CRSwNP patients, to determine whether the severity of CRSwNP affected OME, and to identify risk factors for OME in CRSwNP patients.

Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
  • Study Primary Completion Date: December 2012

Interventions

  • Other: Sinonasal and otologic evaluation
    • At onset, each participant had: sinonasal evaluation (several nasal signs and symptoms were evaluated, bilateral endoscopic nasal examination, computed tomography (CT) of the sinuses when sinus surgery became necessary). otologic evaluation (evaluation of middle ear status, documentations of personal history of otologic disease, otoscopic examination, pure-tone audiometry and tympanometry)
