Epidemiology
Otitis Media:
- Acute Otitis media (AOM) is predominantly a disease of children; you will rarely see an adult with it. After the common cold, it is the second most common reason why children are brought to their family practitioners.
- Male>female
- Peak incidence is between 6-18 months of age.
- About 30% of children younger than 3 years of age visit their primary care physicians with AOM each year, and by their third birthdays 80% to 90% of children have experienced AOM.[1]
