Four areas of pediatric office practice are reviewed: the medical home concept, obesity, acute otitis media, and otitis media with effusion. The concept of the medical home in the care of children with special health care needs, its effect on health care outcomes, and its application to office
OBJECTIVE
To determine if obesity is a significant risk factor for acute otitis media (AOM), allergic rhinitis (AR), or chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in children and to understand the potential otolaryngological implications of childhood obesity.
METHODS
Cross-Sectional Analysis.
METHODS
The 2006 and
OBJECTIVE
Otitis media with effusion and obesity are both common in childhood and might share some immunological alterations. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between chronic otitis media with effusion and childhood overweight or obesity, including the potential effects of adenoid or
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to examine the association between otitis media and childhood obesity in a population-based sample of elementary school children in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
METHODS
The study design is a prospective cohort study, linking data from a
Although eustachian tube dysfunction and bacterial infection have been shown to cause otitis media with effusion (OME), other etiologies are possible. One of the most common medical conditions in children is obesity, which can have effects throughout the body. Little is known, however, about the
OBJECTIVE
To assess innate and humoral immune responses in middle ear effusion of obese pediatric patients with otitis media with effusion (OME).
METHODS
We evaluated 219 children with OME, of whom 21 were obese and 198 were non-obese. We compared the expression in middle ear effusion of mRNAs
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate changes in taste threshold in patients with chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) and their relationship with body mass index. A relationship has been suggested between pediatric obesity and COME, and we hypothesized that changes in taste function may occur in children with
BACKGROUND
Otitis media (OM) is a significant disease that affects nearly all children early in life. Recently, childhood overweight has become an epidemic. Past research has demonstrated that a history of OM is related to food preferences and overweight through proposed physiological mechanisms.
Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) is the most common cause of hearing impairment in the pediatric population. Pediatric obesity is another major health issue with numerous reported health consequences, however, published studies about its role in OME are limited. This study aims to The ongoing childhood obesity epidemic has garnered significant attention among healthcare providers due to its short- and long-term sequelae. Multiple diseases have been associated with obesity, not limited to hypertension, diabetes, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Over the past
OBJECTIVE
To assess the relationship between pediatric otitis media with effusion (OME) and body mass index (BMI).
METHODS
We assessed 140 children aged 2-7 years who underwent unilateral or bilateral ventilation tube insertion for treatment of OME (experimental group) and 190 children with no
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationship between pediatric otitis media with effusion and obesity, as determined by body mass index (BMI) (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) and serum triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) concentrations.
METHODS
A
OBJECTIVE
Spontaneous occurrence of otogenic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) effusion is now far more prevalent than causes related to infections, prior surgeries, or trauma-trends that may be increasing because of higher rates of obesity and improved diagnostic awareness. In our patient cohort with
To study the hypothesis that children scheduled for ventilation tube insertion (VTI), a surrogate procedure reflecting otitis media (OM) presence, are overweight or obese.PATIENTS AND METHODS
Charts of Israeli children aged 0 to 9 years undergoing VTI
OBJECTIVE
To explore the commonly recorded diagnoses in overweight and obese children presenting to a clinical care setting compared with their normal-weight peers.
METHODS
This was a cross-sectional study linking data from 3361 fifth grade students from the 2003 Children's Lifestyle and School
