Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is a common community health disorder of children in all developing countries like Bangladesh which causes significant impact in speech, cognitive, educational and psychological development. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of CSOM and its association with certain socio-economic factors and health related practice and believes among rural primary school children of Bangladesh. The study was done among 1468 rural school going children (Boys:Girls, 1:1.23) aged between 4 and 12 years (mean 8.8 ± 1.66) in five randomly selected rural primary school of Palash Upazilla of Narsingdi district, Bangladesh. They had underwent ENT check up by the doctors trained in ENT and their guardians were interviewed regarding their socioeconomic status, health related practices and beliefs and other related issues using a pre tested protocol. Total 77 (5.2%) cases of CSOM were detected with girl's predominance (5.7 vs. 4.7%). Our study revealed statistically significant association of CSOM with yearly income of guardian (P \ 0.005), maternal education (P \ 0.001), bathing habit (P \ 0.001), ear cleaning habit (P \ 0.05), pattern of primary medical consultation (P \ 0.05). Disease prevalence was also found higher among the dwellers of kachha house. So, this preventable burning problem of CSOM can be resolved by collective effort by incorporating primary ear care program with primary health care system among the vulnerable children of rural area along with their socio-economic development. Thus, future citizens can be safeguarded from developing CSOM, hearing impairment and its resultant complications.

The children were interviewed using semi-structured format followed by general and otoscopic examination. Results: The overall prevalence of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) among study population was estimated to be 6.1% (95% CI 4.4-8.2) which was found to be 7% (95% CI 5.0-9.6) in rural areas and 1.8% (95% CI 0.5-6.3)in urban areas. It was found to significantly associated (p<0.05) with nutritional status of the child and standard of living Index (SLI), while no significant association (p>0.05) was observed with other socio-demographic variables such as father's occupation, mother's education, over-crowding and exposure to smoke. Conclusion: present study shows a high prevalence of CSOM especially in the rural areas, which warrants the urgent action to be taken for preventing the future occurrence of hearing impairment.
