PY - 2020 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, 4e AB - Otitis media (OM) is a global health care concern most commonly seen in the pediatric population. Aside from upper respiratory infections, OM is the most commonly rendered diagnosis in the pediatric primary care setting. Most children will be diagnosed with at least 1 episode of acute otitis media (AOM) with rates of incidence peaking at age 2 years. Various retrospective studies demonstrate a wide berth of incidence, suggesting that 19% to 62% of children will experience at least 1 episode of AOM by age 1 year, and 50% to 84% of children by age 2 years. Children with trisomy 21 or cleft palate are particularly at risk with incidence from 60% to 85%.
