[Progress in the study of quality of life related scales for chronic otitis media]
Abstract:
Chronic otitis media is a common condition in otology, which mainly manifests as repeated purulence, hearing loss, eardrum perforation and other discomforts. It often causes adverse impacts on the health and quality of life of patients. In the past, the assessment of symptoms and prognosis of chronic otitis media was limited to objective examinations such as audiometry or ear endoscopy, while patients' subjective feelings about the disease were ignored. This study reviewed the content, characteristics and current clinical application of quality of life scales for chronic otitis media, with the aim of providing a basis for the selection of quality of life scales for chronic otitis media.
