KARAKTERISTIK PASIEN OTITIS MEDIA AKUT DI RSUP DR. MOHAMMAD HOESIN PALEMBANG PERIODE 2022-2024
Acute Otitis Media (AOM) is a condition characterized by inflammation of the middle ear mucosa, the Eustachian tube, antrum antrum, and mastoid cells, caused by bacteria or viruses. AOM is marked by the presence of fluid and/or inflammation in the middle ear. If a persistent perforation occurs with continuous discharge, it can lead to further complications, such as chronic suppurative otitis media. AOM that is not treated properly and quickly can result in complications, further symptoms that interfere with daily activities, and hearing loss, which can decrease the patient's quality of life. This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of AOM patients at RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. This research is a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design.
