    Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) conditions represent 8.6% of general practice encounters, with throat complaints being most frequent. Children show a higher prevalence of several common ENT diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • General Practice
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Investigated disease patterns in Arhus County over one year.
    • Focused on daytime general practice encounters related to ear, nose, and throat (ENT) conditions.
    • Included registration of encounter type, reason, diagnosis, and referrals.

    Purpose:

    • To quantify the prevalence of ENT diseases in general practice.
    • To identify common ENT diagnoses and their patterns.
    • To analyze age-specific distributions of ENT conditions.

    Summary:

    • 8.6% of general practice encounters involved ear, nose, and throat diseases.
    • Throat complaints were most common, with coryza and tonsillitis comprising nearly half of all ENT diseases.
    • Acute otitis media and earwax were the most frequent ear conditions, and acute infections dominated upper respiratory issues.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the significant burden of ENT conditions in primary care.
    • Identifies key ENT diagnoses prevalent in the general population and specific pediatric groups.
    • Provides data for resource allocation and public health strategies concerning ENT care.
