“…In a study on hearing loss reported that OME was the most common cause of hearing loss in 125 paediatric patients. Mild and moderate hearing loss were observed because of OME, and patients with mild hearing loss were more common than those with moderate hearing loss 2 . A study performed the hearing tests in 88 ears with OME revealed normal hearing in 41 ears, mild hearing loss in 40 ears and moderate hearing loss in 7 ears 33 .…”

“…Otitis media with effusion (OME) is defined as the presence of fluid in the middle ear cavity and the lack of acute signs of infection 1 . OME is one of the most common causes of childhood infections and is commonly seen in early childhood 2 . Early diagnosis is important in OME because it causes a delay in speech and language development, a decrease in school performance, and behavioural problems in the paediatric group over 2‐year‐olds 3 .…”

Aim To investigate the relationship between hearing loss and complete blood count parameters including neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in children with otitis media with effusion (OME). Materials‐Method The study group was formed by 244 paediatric patients who underwent ventilation tube placement because of OME, and was split into two groups as serous and mucoid. The control group included 112 individuals who have no hearing problems. Hearing levels were determined with pure tone audiometry in the study group, preoperatively, and control group. The blood parameters were compared between the serous, mucoid and control groups. The correlation analysis was performed between the blood parameters and hearing levels in the study group. The blood parameters were compared between the groups identified by hearing loss classification. Findings There were significant negative correlations between hearing levels and each of NLR, PLR and MPV. There were significant positive correlations between hearing levels and each of the lymphocyte and PLT. According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, serous OME can be estimated with 68% sensitivity and 61% specificity by the NLR value more than 1.1, and 77% sensitivity and 77% specificity by the PLR value more than 102.4. The ROC curve revealed that slight hearing loss could be estimated with 70% sensitivity and 73% specificity by the NLR value more than 1.31, and 78% sensitivity and 77% specificity by the PLR value more than 102.4. Conclusion The present study revealed that NLR and PLR values were valuable parameters in the diagnosis of serous OME and predicting a hearing loss. These parameters may provide additional information to the audiogram that could influence the therapeutic decision.

Prevalence of Tympanostomy Tube Placement in Relation to Cleft Width and Type

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objectives/Hypothesis: The prevalence of tympanostomy tube surgery (TTS) in patients with a cleft deformity was investigated, in relation to cleft width and cleft type.Study Design: Retrospective review of medical health records. Methods: Retrospective review of medical health records. Seventy-eight patients with non-syndromic cleft deformity of the palate and/or alveolus and lip between 2003 and 2017 were investigated. All available medical documents were analyzed. The study group was divided into subgroups: 1) patients with isolated cleft palate (CP) and patients with a cleft palate with cleft lip and alveolus (CLP). 2) According to Veau's classification (I-IV), further subgroups were defined. Cleft width was measured using plaster cast models.Results: TTS was performed in 55% of the patients (n = 43). Considering Veau's classification, TTS was conducted as follows: Veau I 65.2% (n = 15/23), Veau II 55.0% (n = 11/20), Veau III 47.6% (n = 10/21), and Veau IV 50.0% (n = 7/14). Cleft classifications, maxillary arch width, and absolute/relative cleft width had no statistical impact on TTS occurrence. Although no significant correlation could be found, patients in our study group with CP (Veau I and II) underwent TTS more often (60.5%, n = 26/43) than patients with CPL (Veau III and IV; 48.6%, n = 17/35) during a three-year follow-up.Conclusion: None of the cleft characteristics examined had a significant impact on the proportion of patients who received TTS. Nevertheless, patients with lower Veau classification and CP received tympanostomy tubes more often. Therefore, otolaryngologists and pediatricians treating children with cleft palate should maintain a high level of suspicion for chronic middle ear effusion, even in patients with small clefts.
