Abstract

Background: Otitis media with effusion is common in children and frequently underdiagnosed. Tympanometry plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of otitis media with effusion. Objectives: To describe the clinical characteristics, tympanometric patterns, and evaluate treatment outcomes of otitis media with effusion (OME) in patients aged 6 to 12 years at Can Tho Children’s Hospital. Material and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study with interventional components was conducted. A total of 51 ears diagnosed with OME underwent tympanostomy tube insertion. The study utilized a convenience sampling method and did not include a control arm. Results: Functional symptoms: tinitus (82.4%), nasal congestion (82.4%), the collapse membrane (51%). Tympanogram type B most prevalent with (90.2%). Glue-like effusion was the most common (54.9%). Posttympanostomy tube insertion, a marked clinical improvement in functional symptoms was observed in the majority of patients. Optimal tube status was recorded in 98% of cases. The good result was 98% and medium results was 2%. Conclusions: Tympanostomy tube insertion constitutes an effective and reliable intervention for the management of otitis media with effusion in pediatric patients.
