Clinical analysis of infant respiratory infection combined with acute otitis media

Abstract

Objective To analyze the related factors of infant respiratory infection combined with acute otitis media.Methods Five hundred and fifty-six cases of respiratory infection infants (including acute upper respiratory infection,bronchitis,pneumonia)admitted from March 2010 to March 2012 in Puyang maternal and child health-care hospital were randomly selected,they were divided into four time periods (0-3 month old,3-6 month old,6-9 month old,9-12 month old) according to the age,and divided into two time periods (less than three days,more than three days) according to the infection time,and then the situation of actue otitis media in infants was analyzed.Results Among the acute upper respiratory tract infection,acute bronchitis and pneumonia,the incidence of acute otitis media in infants had no significant difference (X2 =0.23,P =0.89).Actue otitis media incidence were negatively correlated with age (r =-0.99).With the infection time extension,the incidence of acute otitis media increased significantly(X2 =15.74,P ＜ 0.01),the application of anti-infective drugs in infants with acute otitis media had significantly reduced (X2 =14.02,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Respiratory infection combined with acute otitis media in infants is irrelevant to the site of infection,but it' s relevant to the age and infection time,application of anti-infective drugs can reduce the incidence of acute otitis media.
