Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: Reserching clinical characteristics and risk factors of persistent middle-ear infections in children after insertion of ventilation tubes at Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional description wase conducted on 35 children with persistent middle-ear infections after insertion of ventilation at Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital. Result: The group of 1-3 years old accounted for the majority of 37.1%. Symptoms of ear discharge (68.6%), runny nose (62.6%) are the most common. The status of ventilation tubes remaining on the tympanic membrane and fluid flow through the ventilation tubes is the most 65.7%. Children often have VA with inflammation (83.3%) and acute rhinosinusitis (71.4%) with it. Conclusions: In addition to the main and common causes such as VA, rhinosinusitis, and tonsillitis, other risk factors for persistent middle-ear infections after insertion of ventilation tubes, such as an infection from the outside into the tympanic cavity through the ventilation tube or Cleft palate birth defect.
