Abstract: Upper respiratory tract infections and otitis media are common childhood diseases strongly associated with low parental educational attainment (p=0.0001), exposure to smoke (p=0.0001), indoor exposure to mold (p=0.0001), laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (p=0.0002) and the lack of breast-feeding (p=0.0014); an increased risk of otitis media recurrences was observed in the presence of allergy, persistent cough and runny nose (p=0.0001). The modification of the identified risk factors for otitis media should be r… Show more

“…This study has focused on pharyngitis and sinusitis because these are the leading causes of acute morbidity in adults in primary care and, the majority of cases for which antimicrobials are prescribed [2] . Also, URTI are differently expressed in children due to their susceptibility to bacterial otitis media, associated with Eustachian tube dysfunction and immaturity of the immune system [2][3][4] .…”

“…There have been 4 original research articles published since 2013 (18)(19)(20)(21). Due to dates of publication (two studies (18,20)) and inclusion/exclusion criteria (two studies on selected populations) (19,21), none were included in either of the systematic reviews mentioned above; however, it is unlikely that their inclusion would have affected the direction of associations found as three of these articles found an association between breastfeeding and a reduced risk of AOM.…”

[24][25][26] Birth weight, gestational age and breast feeding also have displayed a significant association. 27 However some older researches have shown a weak correlation with parental smoking, family history of otitis media and parental socioeconomic status.…”
