Overview

Risk factors for mastoiditis are related to acute otitis media risk factors. These include: allergy, upper respiratory tract infection, snoring, previous history of acute otitis media, passive smoker, smoking during pregnancy, and low social status. Exposure of infants to day-care centers is a controversial risk factor. [1]

Common Risk Factors

Risk factors for mastoiditis are related to acute otitis media risk factors.

Risk factors for acute mastoiditis

Risk factors for subacute mastoiditis

Less Common Risk Factors

A controversial risk factor is the exposure of infants to day-care centers. Day care attendance may cause an increased incidence of upper respiratory infections and acute otitis media and therefore, mastoiditis. Countries with variations in the age of starting a day-care have shown differences in incidence peaks of acute otitis media.[3][4]
