腺樣體肥大與兒童急性乳突炎較差預後相關

// Adenoid hypertrophy is associated with poorer outcomes of acute mastoiditis in children

本研究探討腺樣體大小（腺樣體與鼻咽比值ANR）與兒童急性乳突炎嚴重程度的關聯｜分析106名住院兒童發現，較高ANR與較年幼年齡獨立預測嚴重病情，包括顱內併發症或加護病房入住｜嚴重病例住院時間較長且後續耳部感染增加，顯示早期偵測與治療腺樣體肥大具臨床價值。

// This study investigated the link between adenoid size, measured by the adenoid-to-nasopharyngeal ratio (ANR), and the severity of acute mastoiditis in children. Using retrospective data from 106 hospitalized children, results showed that a higher ANR and younger age were independently associated with more severe disease, defined by intracranial complications or PICU admission. Severe mastoiditis cases also had longer hospital stays and more subsequent ear infections. The findings suggest that larger adenoid size may indicate increased disease severity, highlighting the potential benefit of early detection and treatment of adenoid hypertrophy.
