Physician adherence to pediatric otitis media with effusion guidelines is low, with significant deviations in practice patterns. Further research is needed to understand the reasons for this gap in evidence-based care.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatrics
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Pediatric otitis media with effusion (OME) management guidelines exist.
  • Physician adherence to these guidelines is not well-documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess physician practice patterns and adherence to OME guidelines.
  • To compare knowledge and adherence between specialists and generalists.

Main Methods:

  • A survey of 1167 otolaryngologists, pediatricians, and pediatric otolaryngologists was conducted.
  • A 6-item survey assessed practice patterns and treatment preferences for pediatric OME.
  • Responses were compared across different physician specialties.

Main Results:

  • The response rate was 48% (558 physicians).
  • Only 1.4% of respondents fully adhered to all guideline recommendations.
  • Physician specialties showed similar overall scores but varied on individual items.

    • Conclusions:

    • Physician practice patterns for pediatric OME often deviate from evidence-based guidelines.
    • Key treatment recommendations were followed by less than half of physicians.
    • Reasons for non-adherence (knowledge, dissemination, or disagreement) require further investigation.
