Diseases of the ear and mastoid process in children are frequent causes of acute conditions and can lead to hearing loss - conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Even one-sided hearing loss in children can lead to impaired speech development, cause psychoemotional disorders and become a serious barrier to education. The purpose of the study was to analyze dynamics in incidence of diseases of the ear and mastoid process in children in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, Central Siberia. Material and Methods. The authors have analyzed official data on incidence of diseases of the ear and mastoid process as well as other diseases of this class among children aged 0-14 from 2009 to 2018 in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. Results. The study shows that incidence of diseases of the ear and mastoid process in children aged 0-14 exceeds similar indicators in the Russian Federation and the Siberian Federal district. At the same time, despite the decreased prevalence and overall incidence of diseases of the ear and mastoid process during the study period there was a significant increase in the incidence of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Furthermore, a positive statistically significant association between the number of otorhinolaryngologists and the incidence of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss has been identified. Conclusion. In the Krasnoyarsk Krai, there is a significant number of undiagnosed cases of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss associated with low number of otorhinolaryngologists. Low share of the detected cases of diseases of the ear and mastoid process during regular check-ups suggests their low effectiveness. The study findings necessitate an in-depth analysis of the effectiveness of regular medical check-ups in the region with a low number of specialty doctors. Scope of application. The study results can be used in planning medical resources for pediatric population to ensure early detection and early initiation of treatment of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. |
