In Indonesia, the prevalence of CSOM is relatively high with most disease occurring in rural areas. The high rates in rural Bali with early progression to tympanosclerosis suggest a significant burden of potentially vaccine preventable illness.
TBM causes high mortality and sequelae involving hearing and visual impairment, and neurological and mental development.
The objectives of the study were to determine the effectiveness and incidence of adverse events of ofloxacin otic solution for suppurative otitis media compared with other treatments. All randomized controlled trials and nonrandomized comparative clinical trials published from 1966 to 2000 using ofloxacin otic solution as one of the interventions were reviewed and data were extracted and analyzed. Eleven clinical trials (9 randomized and 2 nonrandomized) enrolling 1,484 adults and children were finally included in the analysis. Five studies employed clear concealment procedure in the allocation of treatment whereas evaluation of outcome was at least single-blinded in 6 trials. The probability of overall cure rate was higher with 0.3% ofloxacin otic solution than with other topical or systemic antibiotics in 9 of the studies analyzed (OR = 2.67; 95% CI = 2.04, 3.50). Resolution of secondary outcome parameters evaluated at least 1 week after treatment was higher with 0.3% ofloxacin otic solution: resolution of otalgia (4 trials; OR = 2.41; 95% CI = 1.2, 4.82); resolution of otorrhea (11 trials; OR = 2.78; 95% CI = 2.12, 3.65), and bacterial eradication rate (6 trials; OR = 3.86; 95% CI = 2.54, 5.87). A subgroup analysis of 4 studies comparing ofloxacin otic solution with antibiotic- and steroid-containing otic solution showed a higher cure rate for ofloxacin otic solution (OR = 2.73; 95% CI = 1.52, 4.90). Another subgroup analysis on 3 studies comparing ofloxacin otic solution with oral systemic antibiotics showed higher resolution of otorrhea with ofloxacin otic solution (OR = 2.78; 95% CI = 2.12, 3.65). Of 4 studies with data on adverse events, the probability of adverse events was lower with ofloxacin otic solution than with other topical antibiotics (OR = 0.28; 95% CI = 0.19, 0.42). Subgroup analysis showed that 0.3% ofloxacin otic solution showed better results in terms of overall cure rate, resolution of otorrhea, otalgia, bacterial eradication rate and incidence of adverse events. Whether due to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) or draining tympanostomy tube, the overall cure rate (CSOM OR = 4.86; with tympanostomy tube OR = 2.13) and resolution of otorrhea (CSOM OR = 4.42; with tympanostomy tube OR = 1.66) were likewise in favor of 0.3% ofloxacin otic solution. The studies included in this meta-analysis showed generally homogenous results in all clinical and laboratory outcomes analyzed, except for the evaluation of adverse events. The authors conclude that 0.3% ofloxacin otic solution is better than other otic antibiotic drops and other oral antibiotics in terms of overall cure rate and resolution of secondary outcome parameters. Estimates on the beneficial effects of ofloxacin otic solution are limited to the period of study included in this review.
Latar belakang: Rinosinusitis kronik masih menjadi problema di seluruh dunia. Faktor yang berasosiasi dengan Rinosinusitis Kronik (RSK) diduga multifaktorial, salah satunya adalah refluks laringofaring (RLF). Isi refluks cairan lambung antara lain adalah bakteri Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) yang dengan patomekanisme refluks, diduga dapat mencapai mukosa laringofaring bahkan sampai mukosa sinonasal, dan menyebabkan RSK. Tujuan: Mendeteksi H. pylori di mukosa hidung akibat refluks pada penderita RSK disertai RLF. Bila terdeteksi H. pylori, tata laksana harus lebih komprehensif, sehingga diharapkan RSK menjadi terkontrol. Metode: Penelitian deskriptif untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya H. pylori di mukosa sinonasal penderita RSK dengan RLF. Deteksi H. pylori menggunakan teknik quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) dari bahan penyikatan mukosa hidung. Hasil: Didapatkan 86 orang penderita RSK disertai RLF, terdiri dari 30 (35%) pasien laki-laki dan 56 (65,0%) pasien wanita, dengan rerata usia 43,25±6,30 tahun. Keluhan RSK terbanyak adalah hidung tersumbat dengan skor VAS > 7 sebesar 76,8%. Skor nasoendoskopi RSK terbesar pada skor 2 untuk edema mukosa sebesar 65,3% dan skor 2 untuk sekret hidung sebesar 58,2%. Rata-rata skor gejala refluks (SGR) adalah 26,43±4,03 dan rata-rata total skor temuan refluks (STR) adalah 11,28±1,21. Hasil pemeriksaan deteksi H. pylori dengan qRT-PCR, 100% tidak menemukan H. pylori dari penyikatan mukosa hidung. Kesimpulan: Refluks berupa H. pylori tidak ditemukan pada mukosa hidung penderita RSK disertai RLF. Penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan dengan menggunakan gabungan beberapa metode pemeriksaan bersamaan untuk deteksi H. pylori akibat refluks di mukosa sinonasal penderita RSK disertai RLF. Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis is presently still a worldwide problem. Assosiating factors to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are multifactorial, one of them is laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). The gastric juice contains Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which by pathologic reflux could reach laryngopharyngeal and sinonasal area causing CRS. Purpose: To detect H. pylori in nasal mucosa caused by reflux, which suspected of causing CRS with LPR disease. Should H. pylori be found in nasal mucosa, the management of the disease must be comprehensive to enable controlling CRS. Methods: A descriptive study to detect H. pylori in nasal mucosa CRS with LPR patients, using Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) through nasal brushing. Results: Eighty-six CRS with LPR patients as study objects consisted of 30 (35%) male, and 56 (65%) female, the age mean was 43.25±6.3 years old. Visual Analoque Scale (VAS) score for nasal obstruction more than 7 was the highest complaint (76.8%). Nasal endoscopic score of mucosal edema (65.3%) and nasal discharge (58,2%) had score 2. The average total score reflux symptom index (RSI) was 26.43±4.03 and the total score reflux finding score (RFS) was 11.28±1.21. H. pylori detection found negative 100% in CRS with LPR specimens. Conclusion: This study did not find reflux containing H. pylori in nasal mucosa of CRS with LPR patients. Suggesting further study using simultaneously several methods to detect H. pylori in nasal mucosa CRS with LPR patients.
Presbycusis is a progressive hearing loss that is associated with aging. The audiogram shows a sensorineural hearing loss at high frequency on both side. Hearing loss is the second largest disability experienced by the elderly with 30-35% of people aged 65-75 years experiencing presbycusis in Indonesia. This study aims to review the characteristics of patients with presbycusis in Bandung. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, conducted from March to May 2019 at the West Java Province Social Protection Center, Dorkas Nursing Home, and Alamanda Nursing Home. The inclusion criteria was all residents with hearing loss and the exclusion criteria was congenital deafness. This study was participated by 135 subjects, 87 women (64.44%) and 48 men (35.56%). Presbycusis was found mainly in 63 women (71.59%), older than 65 years (57.95%), with moderate (32.95%) sensorineural and mixed hearing loss (65.19%). The most common symptom complained was tinnitus (68.18%). In conclusion, presbycusis was mainly found in female aged ?65 years old, with tinnitus and moderate hearing loss as chief complaint. The most common comorbidity was hypertension. However, in individuals with risk factors, presbycusis can be found sooner. Keywords: hearing loss, sensorineural, elderly, presbycusis
