Streptococcus pneumoniae is the predominant otitis media pathogen and its prevention through effective vaccination could diminish childhood illness and antibiotic use. This paper reviews 5 pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) trials that used otitis media as an endpoint: Northern California Kaiser Permanente (NCKP; vaccine, 7-valent PCV [PCV7]-CRM); Finnish Otitis Media (FinOM; vaccines, PCV7-CRM or PCV7-OMPC); Native American Trial (vaccine, PCV7-CRM); Pneumococcal Otitis Efficacy Trial (POET; vaccine, 11-valent PCV [PCV11]-PD). For the microbiological endpoint, vaccine efficacy against vaccine-serotype pneumococcal otitis media was about 60% across trials. Against the clinical endpoint of all episodes, vaccine efficacy was 7% (PCV7-CRM/NCKP), 6% (PCV7-CRM/FinOM), −1% (PCV7-OMPC/FinOM), and −0.4% (PCV7-CRM/Native American Trial); 34% against first episodes of ear, nose, and throat specialist-referral cases (PCV11-PD/POET). Both follow-up through 2 years of age, for the 5 trials, and long-term follow-up, for PCV7-CRM/NCKP and PCV7-CRM/FinOM, demonstrated greater vaccine efficacy against recurrent AOM and tympanostomy-tube placement, suggesting that vaccination against early episodes of AOM may prevent subsequent episodes of complicated otitis media. Although study designs varied by primary endpoint measured, age at follow-up, source of middle-ear fluid for culture, case ascertainment, and type of randomization, each clinical trial demonstrated vaccine efficacy against microbiological and/or clinical otitis media. 1. Introduction suggesting middle-ear effusion plus at least one sign of acute infection (e.g., fever), the rates of AOM episodes in control Otitis media is commonly an acute infection of childhood groups generally ranged from 1.2 to 1.8 per child per year that is most prevalent in children during their first years of (PCPY) in the first 2 years of life [1–4].

  • Clinical Review Otitis Media
    Clinical Review Otitis Media Jack Froom, MD Stony Brook, New York The spectrum of otitis media includes acute and chronic forms, each of which can be either suppurative of nonsuppurative. In the usual clinical setting distinctions between these several forms can be difficult. Determination of accurate incidence fig­ ures is impeded by the unavailability of universally accepted diagnostic criteria. Risk factors include season of the year, genetic factors, race, preceding respiratory tract infections, cleft palate, and others. The effect of household size and al­ lergy are uncertain. The most common infecting organisms are Streptococcus pneumoniae and Hemophilus influenzae, al­ though in a significant number of cases either the fluid is non- pathogenic or no organisms can be isolated. The effects of several therapies are reviewed, including antibiotics, myrin­ gotomy, steroids, and middle-ear ventilating tubes. Otitis media is one of the most frequent condi­ Incidence tions treated by family physicians and pediatricians. Otitis media ranks as the ninth most frequently Yet there are no standard criteria for diagnosis, made diagnosis for all ambulatory patient visits.

DEFINITION Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery is the surgical specialty concerned with the screening, diagnosis, and management of medical and surgical disorders of the ear, the upper aerodigestive tract, and related structures of the face, head, and neck, including the special senses of hearing, balance, taste and olfaction. OTOLARYNGOLOGY – HEAD AND NECK SURGERY PRACTICE The practice of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (Oto – HNS) entails the provision of medical and surgical care to patients of all ages, in both academic and community settings. Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgeons manage the medical and surgical aspects of a variety of patient presentations, including but not limited to: airway conditions; benign and malignant neoplasms of the head and neck; sinonasal and anterior skull base disorders; hearing, balance, and other conditions related to the external, middle and inner ear, and lateral skull base; laryngeal, voice and swallowing disorders; and conditions requiring facial plastic and reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. Oto – HNS surgeons provide initial assessment, operative and followup care, as well as chronic and longitudinal care, as applicable to their patients’ unique needs. To optimize patient care, Oto – HNS Surgeons collaborate with other physicians, including anesthesiologists, radiation and medical oncologists, respirologists, pediatricians, and other

PALUDETTI, G. CONTI, W. DI NARDO, E. DE CORSO, R. ROLESI, P.M. PICCIOTTI, A.R. FETONI Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Institute of Otorhinolaryngology, Catholic University of The Sacred Heart, Rome, Italy SUMMARY Hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities and has lifelong consequences for affected children and their families. Both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) may be caused by a wide variety of congenital and acquired factors. Its early detection, together with appropriate intervention, is critical to speech, language and cognitive development in hearing-impaired children. In the last two dec- ades, the application of universal neonatal hearing screening has improved identification of hearing loss early in life and facilitates early intervention. Developments in molecular medicine, genetics and neuroscience have improved the aetiological classification of hearing loss. Once deafness is established, a systematic approach to determining the cause is best undertaken within a dedicated multidisciplinary set- ting. This review addresses the innovative evidences on aetiology and management of deafness in children, including universal neonatal screening, advances in genetic diagnosis and the contribution of neuroimaging. Finally, therapy remains a major challenge in management of paediatric SNHL. Current approaches are represented by hearing aids and cochlear implants. However, recent advances in basic medi- cine which are identifying the mechanisms of cochlear damage and defective genes causing deafness, may represent the basis for novel therapeutic targets including implantable devices, auditory brainstem implants and cell therapy.
