A CLUSTER-RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF COMMUNITY EDUCATION TO PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHRONIC SUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA IN CHILDREN IN NIGERIA
Abstract
To estimate the prevalence of World Health Organization-defined chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and mild hearing impairment in a population representative sample of school-entry age children in rural Malawi. A secondary objective was to explore factors associated with CSOM in this population
We performed a community-based cross-sectional study of children aged 4–6 years in Chikhwawa District, Southern Malawi, utilising a village-level cluster design. Participants underwent a structured clinical assessment, including video-otoscopy and screening audiometry. Diagnoses were made remotely by two otolaryngologists who independently reviewed clinical data and images collected in the field. Hearing impairment was classified as failure to hear a pure tone of 25dB or greater at 1, 2 or 4kHz.
