Evaluate ear health and hearing among urban Aboriginal children quantify relationships with child, family social factors.Baseline questionnaire examinations from 1430 diagnoses (0.5-18 years) attending Health Services enrolled in SEARCH. Ear outcomes were Otitis Media (OM), loss (three-frequency average >20dB) diagnosed using pneumatic otoscopy, tympanometry, audiometry.Half the 0.5-3 years had OM (51.5%, 136/264). One third 0.5-18 (30.4%; 435/1430) OM, including 1.8% (26/1430) perforation...
Treatment guidelines recommend watchful waiting for children older than 2 years with acute otitis media (AOM) without perforation, unless they are at high risk of complications. The prevalence chronic suppurative (CSOM) in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities leads these to be classified as risk. Urban lower complications, but evidence support the subsequent recommendation this population is lacking. This non-inferiority multi-centre randomised controlled trial will...
This consensus statement provides new recommendations for primary care assessment of ear health and hearing status young Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander children who are not known to have, or being actively managed for, problems. Any child identified with otitis media should be managed. national extends existing treatment management guidelines. MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS: Undertake checks at least 6-monthly, commencing 6 months until 4 years age, then 5 years. more frequently in high risk...
