Abstract
AIM To evaluate the influencing factors of otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with adenoid hypertrophy and to provide evidence for clinical treatment and care of children with adenoid hypertrophy. DESIGN A retrospective study. METHODS Preschool children with adenoid hypertrophy treated in our hospital from 1 January 2021 to 30 July 2022 were included. We analysed the characteristics of OME and non-OME children with adenoid hypertrophy. Pearson correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to evaluate the risk factors for OME in children with adenoid hypertrophy. CONCLUSION A total of 166 children with adenoid hypertrophy were included; the incidence of OME in children with adenoid hypertrophy was 34.94%. The incidence of OME decreased significantly with the increase in age (p = 0.014). Logistic regression analysis showed that age < 3 years (OR = 3.149, 95%CI: 2.812-3.807) and duration of adenoid hypertrophy ≥12 months (OR = 2.326, 95%CI: 2.066-2.612) were the risk factors of OME in children with adenoid hypertrophy (all p < 0.05). PATIENT CONTRIBUTION The incidence of adenoid hypertrophy with OME is high in preschool children, and it is related to the age and duration of adenoid hypertrophy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Otitis media with effusion (OME) is characterized by the presence of fluid in the middle ear without the presentation of signs or symptoms of acute ear infection. The point prevalence of OME reaches as high as 60% in children younger than 2 years of age. We used the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) to investigate the use of medication in children with OME before receiving ventilation tube insertion (VTI). METHODS Data of pediatric patients (age ≤ 12 years) who had OME and received VTI from January 1, 2011, to December 30, 2012, were retrieved from the Taiwan NHIRD. We surveyed the use of 4 medications to understand whether health care providers achieved the standards of medication use recommended by clinical practice guidelines. RESULTS This study examines the factors affecting the use of medication for pediatric OME. Overall, according to the study's operational definitions, the use of systemic antibiotics was most common (59.9%), followed by systemic antihistamines (23.4%), systemic steroids (8.8%), and intranasal steroids (9.6%). Systemic antibiotics use was associated with 12 factors. Ten of the 12 factors increase the use of systemic antibiotics, including namely age (age > 2 years), comorbidities, teaching hospital, and community hospital. In contrast, namely catastrophic illness and watchful waiting are the 2 factors that decrease systemic antibiotics use. For the use of systemic antihistamines, systemic steroids, and intranasal steroids were related to 6, 5, and 2 factors, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The rate of drug use differs from the rate of use recommended by commonly used clinical practice guidelines. We found that the higher the number of factors that influenced the patients' drug use, the higher the rate of drug use. According to these results, drafting a treatment guideline for OME patients in accordance with current clinical practices in Taiwan is highly recommended.

Implement Sci Commun 2021; 2:13. [PMID: 33541443 PMCID: PMC7860215 DOI: 10.1186/s43058-021-00110-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A considerable proportion of interventions provided to patients lack evidence of their effectiveness. This implies that patients may receive ineffective, unnecessary or even harmful care. However, despite some empirical studies in the field, there has been no synthesis of determinants impacting the use of low-value care (LVC) and the process of de-implementing LVC. AIM The aim was to identify determinants influencing the use of LVC, as well as determinants for de-implementation of LVC practices in health care. METHODS A scoping review was performed based on the framework by Arksey and O'Malley. We searched four scientific databases, conducted snowball searches of relevant articles and hand searched the journal Implementation Science for peer-reviewed journal articles in English. Articles were included if they were empirical studies reporting on determinants for the use of LVC or de-implementation of LVC. The abstract review and the full-text review were conducted in duplicate and conflicting decisions were discussed until consensus was reached. Data were charted using a piloted data charting form and the determinants were inductively coded and categorised in an iterative process conducted by the project group. RESULTS In total, 101 citations were included in the review. Of these, 92 reported on determinants for the use of LVC and nine on determinants for de-implementation. The studies were conducted in a range of health care settings and investigated a variety of LVC practices with LVC medication prescriptions, imaging and screening procedures being the most common. The identified determinants for the use of LVC as well as for de-implementation of LVC practices broadly concerned: patients, professionals, outer context, inner context, process and evidence and LVC practice. The results were discussed in relation to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. CONCLUSION The identified determinants largely overlap with existing implementation frameworks, although patient expectations and professionals' fear of malpractice appear to be more prominent determinants for the use and de-implementation of LVC. Thus, existing implementation determinant frameworks may require adaptation to be transferable to de-implementation. Strategies to reduce the use of LVC should specifically consider determinants for the use and de-implementation of LVC. REGISTRATION The review has not been registered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clinical practice guidelines synthesize and disseminate the best available evidence to guide clinical decisions and increase high-quality care. Since 2004, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) has published 16 guidelines. The objective of this review was to evaluate clinicians' adherence to these guidelines' recommendations as measured in the literature. DATA SOURCES We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science on August 29, 2019, for studies published after June 1, 2004. REVIEW METHODS We systematically identified peer-reviewed studies in English that reported clinician adherence to AAO-HNSF guideline recommendations. Two authors independently reviewed and abstracted study characteristics, including publication date, population, sample size, guideline adherence, and risk of bias. RESULTS The search yielded 385 studies. We excluded 331 studies during title/abstract screening and 32 more after full-text review. The remaining 22 studies evaluated recommendations from 8 of the 16 guidelines. The Otitis Media with Effusion, Polysomnography, Tonsillectomy, and Sinusitis guidelines were studied most. Study designs included retrospective chart reviews (7, 32%), clinician surveys (7, 32%), and health care database analyses (8, 36%). Studies reported adherence ranging from 0% to 99.8% with a mean of 56%. Adherence varied depending on the recommendation evaluated, type of recommendation, clinician type, and clinical setting. Adherence to the polysomnography recommendations was low (8%-65.3%). Adherence was higher for the otitis media with effusion (76%-90%) and tonsillectomy (43%-98.9%) recommendations. CONCLUSIONS Adherence to recommendations in the AAO-HNSF guidelines varies widely. These findings highlight areas for further guideline dissemination, research about guideline adoption, and quality improvement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Otitis media (OM) is a spectrum of infectious and inflammatory diseases that involve the middle ear. It includes acute otitis media (AOM), otitis media with effusion (OME) and chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). AREAS COVERED This manuscript discusses some of the emerging and unsolved problems regarding OM, and some of the newly developed prophylactic and therapeutic medical measures. EXPERT OPINION In recent years, considerable progress in the knowledge of OM physiopathology has been made. However, although extremely common, diseases included under OM have not been adequately studied, and many areas of development, evolution and possible treatments of these pathologies are not defined. It is necessary that these deficiencies be quickly overcome if we want to reduce the total burden of a group of diseases that still have extremely high medical, social and economic relevance.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To examine the role of allergy medications in the treatment of otitis media with effusion (OME), focusing on use of intranasal steroids and antihistamines. RECENT FINDINGS There has been ongoing controversy regarding the role of allergy in the development of OME. Treatment of OME with medications commonly used for allergic symptomatology has been studied. Proposed treatment options include decongestants, mucolytics, oral steroids, topical steroids, antihistamines, and antibiotics. We begin by evaluating the proposed association between allergy and OME, and then evaluate intranasal steroids and oral antihistamine therapy in the treatment of OME. The role of the adenoid and concurrent nasal symptomatology is also addressed. The preponderance of data suggests that neither intranasal steroids nor antihistamines improve the long-term clearance of isolated OME and are therefore not recommended. However, data are notably limited with regard to improvement rates in OME in patients specifically with concurrent allergy and/or adenoid hypertrophy. Future studies of medications for OME would ideally incorporate study designs controlling for both allergic rhinitis and adenoid hypertrophy, to better understand the impact of these medications on OME in these subgroups of patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To examine the relationship between otitis media, allergic rhinitis, and age. RECENT FINDINGS Otitis media and allergic rhinitis are prevalent conditions with a controversial relationship. Some data suggest that these entities are significantly associated, either through allergic rhinitis inducing Eustachian tube dysfunction or through allergic pathophysiology simultaneously occurring intranasally and in the ear. Other studies, however, have refuted this relationship. For example, treatment with antihistamines does not reliably improve OME, making causation and association challenging to establish. Age may have an effect on the nature of the relationship between allergic rhinitis and otitis media, by impacting both the individual conditions and their association. Epidemiological, immunological, and adenoidal studies have suggested that differences occur with age, and this review encapsulates the related data and publications. We begin by evaluating how allergic rhinitis and otitis media each are affected by age, then evaluate the role that age may have in the relationship between the two conditions. Adult and pediatric literature are evaluated so as to include the full impact of age across patients' lifespan. Age induces changes in immunity, patterns of inflammation, and susceptibility to both allergic rhinitis and otitis media with effusion. Age may also be an effect modifier which impacts the nature of the relationship between these two conditions. The influence of age on the association between these highly prevalent conditions remains a topic of active study.

Abstract
Otitis media with effusion (OME) is the focus of an updated multidisciplinary clinical practice guideline published by the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Based on data from clinical trials, the guideline recommends against using antihistamines, antibiotics, oral steroids, and intranasal steroids for OME. To understand practice patterns related to these guidelines, we assessed nationally representative data. Despite controlling for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and other potential confounders individualized for each medication class, an increased risk of antihistamine (odds ratio [OR], 3.53), antibiotic (OR, 4.31), and intranasal steroid administration (OR, 3.58) was seen when OME was diagnosed. These analyses have demonstrated opportunities for quality improvement in the care of patients with OME, quantifying gaps in practice relevant to proposed quality measures. Education targeted according to practice setting may facilitate appropriate therapy and/or referral for definitive intervention in children with OME.
