The burden of otitis media
Open accessAbstract
Otitis media is the most frequent reason that children go to the doctor for illness. In developing countries, where children have limited access to medical care, suppurative complications of otitis media (OM) are frequent and permanent hearing loss results. In developed countries, the most common morbidity of OM is conductive hearing loss due to middle ear effusion. Infants with severe and recurrent OM and persistent middle ear effusion are at risk for problems in behavior and development of speech, language and cognitive abilities. Parent stress is frequent. The cost of otitis media is large (>$5 billion in the United States). Selection and spread of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens arising from extensive use of antimicrobial agents for OM is a problem for management of all diseases due to the pathogens. The incidence and severity of OM may diminish with introduction of new bacterial and viral vaccines.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
