| Popis: | OBJECTIVE The present study seeks to estimate the potential of multifrequency tympanometry in the diagnosis of primal otologic disorder in children with adenoid hypertrophy (AH). STUDY DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Tertiary pediatric institution. PATIENTS One hundred thirty-one children presenting consecutively at the otolaryngology clinic were divided on the basis of AH into 98 patients and 33 controls. INTERVENTIONS Middle ear status was assessed using pneumatic otoscopy, standard, and wide band tympanometry. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Tympanogram type/intratympanic pressure, and resonance frequency (RF) were correlated with each other as well as with a set of clinical parameters. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was employed to reveal the diagnostic value of RF. RESULTS Mean RF declined in chronic otitis media with effusion by 43.25% (p |
