慢性滲出性中耳炎兒童置放通氣管後，照顧者回報的短期效果與生活品質改善

// Caregiver-reported short-term effect and quality of life improvements after tympanostomy tube insertion in children with chronic otitis media with effusion

隨機研究60名1–4歲滲液性中耳炎患兒，52例接受鼓室置管（TTI），74%主訴睡眠障礙｜TTI後1月兒童QoL由6.2升至8.5、家庭QoL由6.7升至8.1，照護者滿意96%｜結論：TTI短期顯著改善兒童、家庭生活品質但OM-6或低估睡眠負擔。

// This prospective randomized study of 60 children aged 1–4 with chronic otitis media with effusion assessed caregiver-reported reasons for consultation, baseline quality of life (OM-6 and two global QoL scales), and change one month after tympanostomy tube insertion (TTI). Fifty-four completed follow-up and 52 underwent TTI; sleep disturbance was the most common complaint (74%) and baseline OM-6 mean was 3.16. One month after TTI child QoL rose from 6.2 to 8.5 and family QoL from 6.7 to 8.1 (both p < 0.0005); caregivers reported improvements in sleep (58%), hearing (60%), language (72%) and 96% overall satisfaction. The authors conclude TTI gives significant short-term child and family QoL benefit, but OM-6 may underrepresent sleep-related morbidity.
