Chronic Otitis Media With Effusion in Chronic Sinusitis With Polyps

Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild80 enrolled

Overview

The relationship between otitis media with effusion (OME) and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) remains unclear. A cross-sectional study of 80 consecutively presenting patients who were diagnosed with CRSwNP was conducted. The aim was to ascertain the prevalence of OME in CRSwNP patients, to determine whether the severity of CRSwNP affected OME, and to identify risk factors for OME in CRSwNP patients.
